University of Arizona Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend this school?

Caleb

Somebody that is not going to take school seriously.

Leo

Someone solely looking for educaiton, someone not social

galen

people who are serious about their education

Laura

I feel as though there are no limits to who should or should not attend this university. The only people that will not be successful are those who do not try and strive to be the best they can be. Those limitations apply to every school and you will go no where without dedication, responsibility, and motivation.

Brandon

Someone that doesn't like to get involved, a non-social person who loves to study would not be at home here in Arizona. Everyone here is friendly and loves going out with friends, socializing and getting involved.

Kyle

I'm not sure that there's any particular kind of human being that shouldn't, necessarily, attend the school. I suppose someone who has no desire to learn anything should steer clear of school altogether. I think there is always more to learn, though, and I think this university pushes people to learn more than they would be able to push themselves. School facilitates, sometimes prohibitively, but in the end it is an educational establishment, and students will exit with a greater understanding of the world and their place in it.

Victoria

It is easy to acclamate to the life here at the University of Arizona however for someone who is very dependent it may be difficult. There are a lot of places to seek help however it is college and there isn't an institution here present to hold any one student's hand. In a big university like this one it is very important that the student seek help when necessary and take advantage of Think Tank and teachers' office hours.

Isaac

People who like to pull pranks, party too hard, and ditch classes shouldn't attent the UofA. Also, people who can't stand the desert heat should definitely not attend.

Mary

The kind of person that should not attend this school is a person who is not highly driven. If you have no desire to be in school, if you are not going to attend your classes, then there is no reason to be in a higher education school. The University of Arizona also demands students who are very organized and are critical thinkers. There are plenty of community colleges to go to after high school in order to make the transition to this superior University.

Jessica

Anyone can and should attend this school.

Kimberly

If you don't have an ounce of school spirit or plan to get involved or connected in someway, you shouldn't come to the University of Arizona. The first thing that is said at orientation is to get involved. So, if you disagree then it's best not to attend. If you don't like the Sonoran desert and the weather here, it's another reason not to attend.

Mark

Someone without eligibility for financial aid. Tuition has become ridiculously expensive.

Kevin

Students who don't want to be in school. There needs to be more room for those of us who actually want to be in school and excel in our field of study.

Alex

Choosing a college is a hard and possibly expensive decision. The U of A's diverse social culture and wide range of classes offers everything a student can hope for. Students can choose from 300 undergraduate and graduate degrees. There is not a type of person that should not attend this school.

Amanda

I would only say someone who is not that interested in college. It's a very expensive school, with a great curriculum that should not be wasted. As far as age, ethnicity, etc... there isn't anyone that is not welcome. I have seen all ages, races, ect... It's a very diverse campus.

Mariana

Anyone should have the right to attend the University of Arizona; therefore any learned individual may attend.

Brittney

The kind of person that should'nt attend this school would be someone who is not willing to study or meet new people and fit in. People who are not open minded and willing to adapt to new situations, since college is completely different from high school.

Andre

The person that should not attend this school is one without drive. It takes more than just showing up to class to recieve the education or the degree that would be awarded through the University of Arizona. Education is serious, and those that attend classes to gain the knowledge should be equally serious.

Monica

The kind of person who should not attend this school is someone who does not really have any idea what they want to do. They will not get the direction they need and will end up just drinking too much, getting bad grades, and ruining their GPA. This is also a very liberal "green" school, so if you are a conservative republican you might want to rethink your choice.

Stephanie

There isn't really a "type" of person that shouldn't attend this school. Any and every type of person is enrolled at school; from the extremely studious students to those that would rather sleep and party than go to class. In a school of 30,000 students its easy for everyone to find friends that have their same interests and likes.

Nichole

Someone who isn't willing to put in a lot of hard work. I transferred to the U of A from a 2 year community college, and the workload was quite a jolt. I passed with flying colors (after a semester of extremely hard work!), but I know that other people who might not be as prepared would likely have a difficult time succeeding.

julia

I think everybody should be able to attend the school. Education is important, discrimination unacceptable!

Taysia

Someone that is not willing to work for the best they can do. This university has the top colleges that require the best and have very high standards and expectaions for the people that apply. So if your not wiling to strive for the best then i wouldnt recommend this college for you.

Nima

One who wants to go to college to just party. They shouldn't be so focused on what kind of party reputaion this college holds even though this is a popular party school. People should have a purpose to come here and gain the college experience. Also, a person that is only dependent upon their sport. They shouldn't put their sport first if they naturally strugge with academics. So the best thing for them to do is find any help as possible so that they can stay focused on their education and their extracurricular activities. Use your time wisely.

Joshua

Though I really do not feel the right to judge a person on wether they have the right to go to school or not I do feel it is rather wasteful to go to school if one is completely unmotivated and uncaring of the community or world. The reason for this being is that they are not trying to benifit themselves or the community.

Kasey

The person that should not attend this school is somebody that is not dedicated and mature enough to handle the assigments and tests. The person that should not attend should also be somebody that is not taking the opportunity to go back to school seriously. I feel somebody that is not 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} dedicated on educating themselves to advance there career to help others should not be attending this school.

Kimberly

I believe the University of Arizona is a great school but a person who does not have integrity or self-management should not attend the U of A. It is important to keep up with the homework, readings, and assignments within each class.

Jhee

Though the Eller Business School and the medical programs at the UofA are very good, they are very popular; and therefore, are very competitive. One who doesn't like to interact with a lot of pressure and competition should not consider this school.

Alyssa

The kind of person that should not attend this school is someone who is not willing to work for their degree. This school measures ones motivation and determination to succeed, as well as ones dedications to their dreams for their future. As a cross-cultural school with a great deal of diversity, this school is also not for the prejudiced, the discriminatory or the arrogant. All men are created equal, have an equal opportunity to succeed, and whoever does not believe that should not attend the University of Arizona.

Charmayne

Study as possible. Make lots of friends to help you study and work on projects.

Celina

anyone can attend

Brittany

You should not attend this school if you want a very small hometown feel. It is a large campus and everyone is very friendly but if you are not comfortable in large places this is not a good idea for you.

Megan

A person shouldn't attend this school if they like cafeteria food. The University of Arizona is the only school to have not cafeteria that students can eat at. There are countless restaurants and fast food places available that are surrounding and inside the school. This provides an atmosphere for a fun, relaxed night life. Also, if a person can't handle hot weather then they shouldn't go to any school in Arizona.

Bridgette

It's hard to imagine a person who would not do well at the University of Arizona. This school really does have something for everyone. With hundreds of clubs and organizations, it's nearly impossible to not find something to interest you. From physics to journalism, from atmospheric sciences to dance, over 150 majors provide enouh oppurtinuity to keep a student occupied. I guess the only reason a person would not enjoy the Ua would be if they hate the heat and sun. UA may not have snow but it does have seventy degree winters. What's not to like?

fernando

I believe that the University of Arizona is a great institution and only a well dedicated student should attend it. If you don?t like the warm summer heat of the desert than this school is definitely not for you. If you?re the type of student that likes that one on one interaction with your teacher then you should attend a school that has a smaller amount of students per class, because we have classes as big as 500 students per classroom.

Ashley

I think that if someone is looking for a small campus atmosphere they should not attend the University of Arizona. There are a lot of people attending this school and there are always many different activities. Also if you are not big on a social scene then this school probably isn't the best for you. Also sports is a big part of the college life here so if you don't really care either way about college sports then this probably wouldn't be the best school.

Jeff

Anyone who enjoys the big, urban city should not attend this school. Tucson is a run-down city without the elements of much urban/suburban life. Students who do not have any interest in joining greek life (fraternity nor sororoity) should not attend this school because a majority of the undergraduate social life is associated with these groups.

Shanelle

Students who lack an open mind shouldn't attend the Unversity of Arizona. Everything here shows multifarious perspectives. The assortment of students here demonstrate the amount of discovery that can one can experience. Clubs constantly spread the word for their passions and encourage others to take an interest in them. Also, students should be committed students. Academics are important in university life and it is imperative to take it seriously. On many occasions, some classes require up to 3 hours per credit hour of study.

Starr

Someone who is unmotivated, negative and does not want to learn more about themselves, others and their education.

Andrea

The kind of personwho shouldn't attend this school is one that wants to slack off and dislikes studying and putting in effort.

Stephanie

Its hard to say which type of person shouldn't attend UA. The college accepts all students, however if scholastics are not something you have a desire in doing, then this school isn't right for you. People who are lazy, have no motivation, or a desire for a higher education shouldn't attend this school.

Jennifer

I don't think there is anyone who wouldn't find a niche at the University of Arizona. There is something for everyone and I have friends from all over the country from smaller or larger schools who all enjoy attending the U of A. There are so many classes to take, clubs to join, and people to meet!

Mark

A student with a lack of self-confidence and motivation would be wise to allow themselves to mature and experience life, this permits an understanding the importance of higher education and gives them the determination needed to undertake the demands and stresses of an academic career; sometimes life lessons can be more valuable than coursework.

Brandon

The kind of person that should not attend this university is one that was forced here, is not focused on school, but is not afraid to have healthy fun with friends once in awhile.

Jessica

A person who should not attend this school is someone who is not career focused. If a student does not know what they want to do attending this college will be a waste of their time. The University of Arizona is academically focused.

Davina

The kind of person who should not attend the University of Arizona is an unmotivated individual. I have learned that a quality education is achievable to anyone who is willing to work hard at it. Working hard means going to every class even when you are "too tired", listening to every word that comes out of your professors mouth and working hard especially means putting in the effort to do your homework or study, even if it is a Saturday night. It feels wonderful when you know the effort you put out helped you achieve your goals.

Nitsan

An individual who seeks extremely rigorous courses in all aspects of his or her education may not be pleased enough with this school. In addition, someone who does not enjoy partaking in school and social activities, may not feel right at the University of Arizona. In addition, someone who dislikes the heat.

Kevin

Sabrina

An outgoing and openminded individual should attend this school. Also, a diverse and focuse student who wants a little less cramped class size.

Thomas

If you are a person who does not like to get involved in clubs or programs, then you will not be able to take full advantage of your time at the University of Arizona. Involvement in these clubs and programs is a crucial component for an individuals personal development while attending this school.
