Really any type of person can attend the Unversity of Arizona. It is not structured for one person or another, but provides an environment that is comfortable for everyone. Different types of people may associate with one group or another, in regards to what their primary focus is in education. Many business people are alike, same with fine art students and psychology majors. But there is no distinction when it comes to who should attend or not, everyone fits in their own group, and is able to mingle with others easily.

Kevin

It would seem as if almost anyone could really attend this school. Any level of education could come here and learn, and with a sufficient amount of dedication could earn a degree and really make themselves standout as a professional in any kind of technical or engineering type of field. Albeit that this school seems to attract those that seem to only care because it will "make you more money" and miss the real reason as to why we are in school, striving to achieve. If not for our own families, the way we live.

Low income family

Andrew

The college atmosphere at the University of Arizona is very diverse. Many students with different backgrounds can and do attend this school. But students who are social and independent should attend this school because many students who are a part of the University are prideful and values greek life. The sorority and fraternaties here are very active and have a strong history. If you are independent, joining the greek life would not be essential in making friends and participating in other events or clubs would be an easy thing to do.

Catherine

If you want a big spirit school, the Univerisity of Arizona is definitely for you! Coming from a small private Catholic school, I had no idea what I was in for- except being just another fish in a massive pond. But like high school, it's only fun if you get involved in multiple aspects of the school! This means getting involved in a sorority or frat, a sports team, or clubs. But if you're someone that goes with the flow, you'll probably like being thrown into the mix at Arizona.

An extroversive person that isn't intimidated by large numbers and wants to make something of themself. They should want to work hard and understand that the hard work they do pays off. It is easy to make friends if you want to make friends.

Yanett

Any person should attend this school. There are a variety of programs offered and many internship and job opportunities. If you live in Tucson and are a U of A student, you will be respected. Everyone should give U of A an opportunitiy; I can guarantee that almost any area of study you're interested in will be offered here. Are you an open minded person who wants to be in a school with great diverse people, and learn from others while you learn about your career path? Then U of A could be the school for you.

Tessa

One of the best aspects of the University of Arizona is the diversity of students and faculty. Therefore, an individual interested in a diverse education that will allow for the progression of his/her own interests and beliefs, but will also challenge preconceived ideologies would be well suited for the U of A. Individuals considering attending the U of A should also be interested in a comprehensive education that places emphasis on research. The undergraduate population is 38,000. Therefore, students must be independent and intrinsically motivated to do well academically as individual attention cannot always be guaranteed.

Dustin

A person with high ambition to pursue a rewarding and fulfilled education should attend the University of Arizona. This school has a lot to offer in many fields of study. For instance, the U of A has one of the top physics programs. Scientists at the U of A control robotic missions on Mars directly from headquaters based on the campus. Also, the campus itself is quite beautiful and any artistic personality would appreciate the architecture, sculptures, and exhibits implemented into the campus.

Trevor

Being a part of Native American Indian tribe and a first generation college student, I believe this school is a great environment to prosper. The campus is really helpful. The campus is not too small, but not too big, so someone could still be prosperous here. Someone who wants to stay grounded in their studies at an institution would have a great time here, becuase the University of Arizona is a great place to see where your studies can be applied.

Perla

In-state students who want to attend a very prestigious and amazing school and be near their families will love the University of Arizona.

Robin

The person that should attend the Univeristy of Arizona would love the sunny environment. Not only the good weather. People in Tucson, Arizona are friendly, especially to their U of A students. You will always make friends. I am a local Tucsonian, and spent two years at community college. I made very few friends there. Community College was made for people with full time jobs to go to school and get there degrees quickly. The Univeristy of Arizona allows you to really participate in the campus, and spend time with your peers to forge real long lasting relationships.

Anyone who is open-minded will fit in well at this school. If you come to school with just graduation as your goal, then your experience at school will be dull. The best part about UA is the journey, not necessarily the destination. There is so much diversity and so many opportunities on campus that everyone will find their niche. The best way to get the most out of your university experience is to try new things. The experiences that come with taking risks, being adventurous, and becoming involved on campus can be just as rewarding as getting your degree!

An academically qualified, diversely talented, community & globally-minded, person with a focus and drive towards excellence in academia, who is conscientiously aware that their acheivements and research can and will benefit humanity when put to good use. Also, an individual who realizes that there is more to a college education that the monetary potentials & community status some degrees afford, and rather that the foundation of a well-rounded and diverse human being is education.

Mason

Any and all kinds of people are generally welcomed at the University of Arizona by both administration and most students.

Shane

A well rounded individual should attend the Univerisity of Arizona. My reasoning for this is that the University of Arizona provides so many opportunities for virutally every type of person. The current students at the University of Arizona are they type that work hard and have goals, but at the same time lead a healthy social life and participate in the numerous extracurricular activities provided by the University. Therefore a person who wishes to attend the University of Arizona should be outgoing, hardworking, and an active student outside of the classroom.

Jerri-Lynn

University can be defined as an environment of people who share the same goal of obtaining success. Success is a universal aspect in life. There are no rules as to who can be successful and what quailties an individual should have. Therefore anyone who wants success should attend this school. Black, white, tall, short, disabled-it doesn't matter. Because of the diversity level each and every person who attends the University of Arizona brings something different to the university creating a well rounded college and environment for not only the student body to enjoy, but the whole Arizona community.

I believe that anyone who wishes to attend this school should really work hard. The classes at the University of arizona are tough. Students must be be smart about using their time and eager to learn and know what they want out of their university education.

Jennifer

The University of Arizona is a wonderful school; however, people who become easily distracted by things such as partying may become preoccupied. This school is like any other college, it offers many opportunities to its students, but you are ultimately the person who decides to use these opportunities to your advantage. For example, there are hundreds of extracurricular activities which connect from the classroom into a certain field; this ultimately gives students more interest and connection to their major and future job. The University of Arizona is truly a wonderful school that gives its students countless opportunities to succeed.

Gresa

The kind of person that should attend this school is someone that places just as much importance on having a great social life as they do on academic achievement. Students here definitely like to have fun, and if you're too serious about school, you won't enjoy it here that much. Also, I think a person that comes from a middle class or upper class family would fit here more than someone who comes from a more underprivileged family, because on top of tuition, the books, food, and social events here do cost a lot of money.

Nicole

…Anyone who wants to attend a prominent research university with high academic integrity, excellent extracurricular options, engaged faculty and diverse students. The University of Arizona boasts a great, traditional campus setting in a large college town: Tucsonians are very loyal Wildcats. Outdoor activity is a year-around option (Tucson is known for its hiking and bike trails), and the diverse and tolerant environment is rich and charming. The University of Arizona offers the chance to explore your options without limit: social, extracurricular, career, or otherwise. This school is great for anyone who is looking for achievement and exploration in life.

The University of Arizona is a great school for those who are willing to work hard for what they want.
