Arizona is only a party school and the students are not intelligent. All the students drink heavily and do drugs. The classes are so easy and you never need to study for them. That is why the students party so much; because they don't need to study. Attending U of A is always a back up school.

Arizona is an absolutely amazing school. It provides a great education as well as countless extracurricular opportunities. We are known as one of the largest "party" schools in the nation, so it could be assumed that a stereotype of the students is that we party a lot.

Arizona has this stereotype that it is a desert full of cowboys filled with dull cacti. The Arizona students I guess have a variety of people so there is not one specific stereotype. I guess it would be that Arizona students are relatively wealthy.
