What's unique about your campus?

Aaron

The University of Arizona is a school involved heavily in research. I consider the opportunity for both education and the opportunity to participate in cutting edge research the best thing about my school. In specific the engineering department, of which I am a student, has several projects going on in conjunction with the Bio-dome. As a student I am able to get an inside pass at the systems and inner workings of the projects and research going on there and even the opportunity to participate in such projects at various levels of interaction as my education progresses.

The best thing about The University of Arizona, other than the commendable community and the welcoming environment, would have to be all the opportunities on campus. Before attending The University I have always been so indecisive about what it really is that I wanted to do with my life.

I consider the libraries the best thing about my school. There are multiple libraries located across the campus. As a college student, I practically live in the library. I read book, study, go on the computer and print in the library. The library is very useful and there are so many students on campus that if there were not as many libraries as there is, I probably would be able to get on the computer as efficiently as I do now. I am glad there are many places on campus for me to work adn study.

The professors care! Or atleast all the ones I have had do! This is key in keeping students engaged and help them push though the semester!

There are many clubs and sports to join, advisors are willing to help you research internships, and other students are ready to include you in their study groups!

I believe the University of Arizona provides a beautiful place to live as well as some of the friendliest classmates in the country.

To me the University of Arizona is a great place because of its location in naturally beautiful southern Arizona. The University of Arizona's location accounts for its always sunny and beautiful weather, and for its amazing mountain sunsets. At U of A you have the choice of either staying in the desert environment, which has its own beautiful characteristics, or venturing out into the mountains that surround the city of Tucson for a completely different experience. I love my school because it is almost paradise like, with its palm tree lined streets and always clear and sunny skies.

This is a great commuter school, a majority of the students that attend this university are from different international and interstate backgrounds. I have managed to surround myself with friends from a wide spectrum of cultures and locations and I believe that this has made me a better person.
