Everything! University of Arizona offers many top noch restaurants, game rooms, a movie theater, post office, a Fast Copy shop, IT Support, state of the art bookstore and more. This is all located in the Student Union building! Everything feels very new and modern. Also they have a Student Transfer Center just for students who are new to the university. The University of Arizona is dedicated to making each student feel welcome. There's a center and experts for just about everything you need to be successful.

William

I don't necessarily brag about My school in terms of national recognition. However, since University of Arizona is so different from the small school setting most my friends are used to after comparing our social and academic situations can say I have had a more enjoyable and less stressful experience

alex

Whenever I talk about my school, I brag about the style of the campus and surrounding area. Everything is very centralized on campus, and one does not have to go far to do much. The University of Arizona also has higher academic ranking than any other college in Arizona, so that's something I throw in there too.

Olivia

When my friends and I get together, I usually barg about how my school is one of the best schools academically and athletically. I always have to remind them of how U of A is a Pac 12 school and how we are on television and that there are beautiful people there. The campus is wonderful, the football games are insane when in Zona Zoo, and the people are very nice.

Cinthia

Our athletics! I love our basketball team!!

Blessy

The main campus - its beautiful! It has almost everything a student needs, both for purchase and free. Most of the restaurants and stores within are really nice, even though a bit expensive. The free services like tutoring, safe rides, shuttles etc. are really benefical to students. A well-kept, clean campus, the University of Arizona is very successfull in providing a safe environment for the students. The whole campus is equipped with emergency phone booths that lights up as the user is connected to the campus police department. It would only make sense to brag about such a great campus!

Cierra

The academic ethics and the individualized attention.

Brandon

When I tell my friends that I attend the University of Arizona, I emphasize the great science programs the university has and compare it to other schools in the US with similar programs. The UofA is, in my opinion, the best college to find a career in physical science, atmospheric science, and engineering. I tell them the full extent of the programs in my field of studies (Physics and Astronomy) and say how much this school's reputation will help me reach my life long dream. I have also met wonderful people, making new friends every day.

Ashley

Being from Alaska the majority of my bragging has to do with the weather. My friends are amazed by the idea of pool parties and swimming outside in November. I also brag about how well I am doing in school sometimes. That can be quite annoying though so I keep that to a minimum.

Bethany

The University of Arizona is in the center of a small college town that eats, breathes, and sleeps the Wildcats. There is always somebody new to meet and the people are friendly than most other places. The instructors are, more often than not, available to help with any issues that may arrive. And, with the fantastic support given by the students during school events through the ZonaZoo, the pride shows through anything. And, this year, we brought home the Territorial Cup from the Dual in the Desert.

Nicholas

I dont generally brag but when you have the most beautiful women at your school (like my girlfriend, and admittedly all of her friends) it becomes very easy to brag. Also out sports teams are exciting to watch especially basketball. There are not many teams in the NCAA who have beaten Duke in March Madness but the University of Arizona team did so in a resounding fashion.

Tyrene

I tell them I pay a very low tuition and that my credits are transferable. I also tell them if there came a time when I would need to work then an employer would hire a degree holding candidate (associates of science and an associates in social and hehavioral science for me) over someone who does not have a degree. It is a good backup plan for those of us who may have to work immediately after acquiring an associates degree.

Anthony

I brag about how great of a campus Arizona has and how community like it feels. The basketball team is also a great asset for the school. Our rec center is state of the art and possible one of the best gyms I have ever seen. The weather is perfect during the fall and it gets nice and cool during the winter which allows for a nice changbe in temperature from the blistering heat of summer.

Avalon

That there are like, 500 kids in my psych class. I brag about it because I went to a high school with a total of 400 kids. So one of my university classes was bigger than my entire high school!

Gabrielle

When promoting the University of Arziona to friends, especially my brother who is attending ASU, I usually talk about the social atmosphere and campus. Living forty-five minutes out from the campus, I can notice the difference almost immediately the mood of acceptance ad diversity. At the U of A, there is room for everyone as corny as that sounds. There are sports groups, film groups, religious groups, political groups, LGBTQA groups, cultural groups, writing groups, book groups, etc. And each of these groups meets somewhere beautifully built or upkept at the university.

Sarah

I brag about the environment of college life, when you are a freshman, first year of college hits you. Your in a whole different community like your away from the city and in a different world. This is the time to have true memories but also the time to be an adult you become responsible for everything you do there is always benefits such as our student union. I also brag about how am the first from my family to attend a university and that if you want to join the wildcats you need to learn how to bear down.

Beatriz

It's research opportunities; many labs are open to undergraduates. In fact, that is who the Senior research wants on the teaM.

Anthony

This school's students are absolutely fanatical about their school spirit, and the faculty actually cares about the success of their students. Everyone on campus is friendly and any type of person can find a place for friends. Here we have the ability to choose exactly what we want to do with our lives, no matter how diverse those ideas may be.

Marisela

When i tell my friends about school i talk about all the different opportunties one has in college. There is so much you can learn about and in so many ways. You can meet new people every day and get involved with just about any topic. Classes are also made to fit your schedule and the flexibility is awesome.

There is so much school spirit here! I love walking around on Fridays and game days, and seeing everyone wearing red to support our school football team! Being a part of the student section, ZonaZoo, is an amzing experience! Everyone is pumped and excited for the game and ready to support the team. Its wonderful!

Lauren

The thing I brag about most is our pride. Arizona has so much pride and love for its school. People wear U of A letters around campus all the time. Sporting events are the hot topic on campus and people love to brag about how well we do against other schools. Another thing that people brag about is the fact that every building on our campus are close together. There is no need to walk miles to get from one class to another. It’s a lot more convenient to get around especially in the heat.

I absolutely love the faculty in the philosophy department. I also tend to brag about our sports and the fact that our campus is actually attractive, unlike, say, ASU.

The classes I'm in are fun and don't have very harsh workloads, my dorm is quiet and comfortable, the campus is beautiful, the weather is nice and there are so many possibilities as to what you can do on any given day.

Stefanie

Our school pride. When it comes to sports, our fans and our dedication is undeniable. It is contagous.

Ashley

My university inspires a great amount of diversity - be it ethnically or academically. Students are able to take course unrelative to each other, as to secure their occupational dreams and capture interest in a deeper and more reassuring way. The University of Arizona offers endless amounts of opportunity to anyone wanting to study anything; if my university cannot physically hand you opportunity, they will present you with a location at which you can seek out accomplishing your specific goals. My university inspires happiness, fulfillment and success.

Chelsea

I brag about the amazing professors we get to learn with and how they make you feel like there is no problem to go ahead and approach them with whatever questions I have. Also, the wide variety of classes I get to choose from that are so fascinating and I still learn what I need to for my future career and major. How I feel safe being on campus and nothing can hurt me because of the UofA Police Department always being around. And the best place in campus would be our 5 story library where we have 24hr. access.

Claudia

The University of Arizona offers an extensive list of majors to choose from. I've experienced that eventhough it is such a big place it is easy to talk to any dean, advisor, academic professional. The University of Arizona has a great location in my city. It's a school with a lot of spirit and very international. Students have excellent chices for study either on campus or abroad in some other nation of interest and related to your career, making it fun and exceptional to learn languages with people from that culture or history where it happened.

Kellie

Some of my professors who are actually there to teach me stuff and care less about the research and more about the students.

Natasha

Our football team made it to another bowl game again! And our school helped with the mars research team!

Danielle

The newly remodled rec center, most of the new machines have personal TVs on them.

Jerri-Lynn

Many of the students that lived in my community attended a community college. Thus I am one of the few who ended up being enrolled at a university. Strangly I find myself bragging about the hardships such as the work load, complexity of the material, and all the stress that comes along with it. When you think of someone bragging you think of positive situations but In reality these hardships are a positive maybe not in the short run, but in the long run. The University of Arizona will allow me to gain indepencey, and skills needed for success.

Danica

The environment of the University of Arizona is a thing to brag about because of the intertwined city and country life, which creates the idealistic place to study and have fun. It's the best of both worlds.

Juanita

The University of Arizona was the very first university for the state of Arizona. We also have some of the top research facilities in the nation, as well as one of the top medical schools in the nation. To add, the medical school here at the Universtiy of Arizona was the only one in the state for a long period of time. Here at the University we have some of the best and most long-lasting traditions, some of which are Bear Down Friday's, and the rivalry between us and Arizona State. President Barack Obama came here!

Chelsea

I brag about my teachers. Before I came to the U of A, people told me the class sizes are huge (True) and the teachers don't care (False). I'm sure some teachers do not care but I have been extremely fortunate to find the classes run by professors who do care. All of my teachers thus far care very passionately for their work and desire to impart their knowledge unto me with that same passion. I have only found teachers whose first priority is teaching at the U of A.

Breanna

How difficult this school is so when I go into the real world I feel more prepared. This is a science school and is known for its research projects and hands-on projects. I love it!

Edritz

We have plenty of professors who have been awarded for their ground breaking research work.
