University of Arizona Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Kimberly

I love the fact that the school isn't completely small and isn't enormous either. It's medium-sized. There's beautiful sunsets and monsoon seasons here in Arizona that you can't witness elsewhere and you can experience that on campus. School spirit is high. Students commonly wear U of A shirts, hats, etc. You feel proud to be a Wildcat...

Stephanie

The best thing about my school is that it is close to my family and my friends.

Evelyn

I consider the whole campus and its facilites to be the best. The whole place is simply the best. The students and teachers are both welcoming. The computer labs, the THINK TANK, the bookstore is full of great supplies for students to buy, the student union, and the rec center. These are great places for student hang outs. There is always something going on at UofA. There are many great ways students can get involved in clubs and organizations around school. Thanks to all facilities the school has available for the students. UofA IS SIMPLY THE BEST.

Madeeha

our Medical School is ranked 64 in the nation. i think it's a very unique number for a small city.

Victoria

I really like that the U of A offers so many clubs to be a part of. Im in the agriculture colloge and this section of the school has so many different clubs and internships that they offer to the students. Being in the clubs makes me feel like Im part of a family.

Traci

Something that I consider the best thing about my school is the atmosphere. Everyone is really nice and friendly, but also you do not feel so pressured to do anything or join anything. They make it all about you. They help you in anyway that is possible and they make it fun for you to be there. Enjoying school is important and that is exactly what the UofA does for you.

Heather

The University is a very open community. There are constantly events on the mall that are open to everyone who wants to attend and there are constantly study sessions where strangers can become friends and pass their classes.

Sarah

It's in my home town, the campus is really beautiful, and the pyschology program is really great.

Jessica

That the students here are able to interact with so many different people, cultures, religions, beliefs, etc. It helps to create tolerance for things that are different and will possibly allow for a future world that will accept all things different and possible help with cutting down violence and war.

Cameron

I think the teachers that I have had have been the best aspect of the University of Arizona. Many of the teachers I have had have been very enthusiastic and focused. They have helped make my experience an enjoyable one and have helped me find what I want to do with my life.

Kimberly

The best thing about The University of Arizona in my opinion, were the teachers. I had many wonderful professors that guided me through my classes, challenged me to rise above my abilities, and were always there to listen to my needs and concerns. I learned a great deal about the field I chose to study and also about life in general from each one of my professors at the University of Arizona.

Monica

Depending on the major you choose, you can find some wonderful professors who still have a passion for teaching and love what they do. The U of A also offers some programs that are recognized as being the some of the best in the country; including pharmacy, astronomy, and nursing. I also think there are many programs offered that many just choose not to take advantage of; such as internships, job fairs, and career building workshops.

Ana

It is research oriented and provides a good career center to ensure employment after graduation. It also is very updated in programs, technology, and is future-based. The university is also very open to different cultures and races. Its instructors are very diverse and know the material very well and are excited to teach it. One of my favorite qualities this university offers is a good counseling department. They are friendly and stress-free. Since it is a fairly big campus, there is a big concern for the safety of the students, they offer safe rides and shuttles across campus.

Jillian

The best thing about my school is its location. You can mostly count on Tucson, Arizona being dry and hot. Snowbirds know how lucky we are to not have snow since they over populate our city every winter. Like most campuses, ours is extensive and open. It's convenient to have blue skys almost year round when your walking from class to class outdoors. To those who can't stand the heat, I feel sorry for because I love my Arizona desert!

Carmen

The University of Arizona offers many ways to get students involved. There are clubs for all different areas of study and interests. Also, the school offers special discounts for students to attend school events and for student supplies.

julia

The best thing about University of Arizona is their involvement in community.

Brandon

I consider the University of Arizona a premier institution. I am pursuing a career in medicine--this college has a strong reputation for its medical studies and research programs. So far, the students and faculty i have met are just welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The overall cutlure is everyone's success is their priority. Many of the professors are leaders in their fields, and we are just blessed to have them.

Aaron

The University of Arizona has many things to offer. One of my favorite things about the school, is the school spirit it has. II went to a high school that excelled nationaly in sports, so my high school had lots of school spirit. When lookig for colleges this was something that i considered when looking for colleges. The school spirit the university brings allows relief at the end of a long week when you can go and enjoy a school game and cheer with the rest of your friends and classmates.

Carina

School spirit is outrageous and beyong belief at the Univeristy of Arizona. Games, events, meeting and even regular school days can leave you seeing blue, white and red. Faces camouflaged over with decals and the letter 'A', track jackets and pants, shoes, bags, jewlery, you name it people are wearing it on the daily to support their school. If you are one to dive head first into school spirit and be one of the peppiest, then University of Arizona is for you.

Mariah

There is no "kind" of person that should attend this school. Everyone should attend this school. People from all walks of life are already taking classes at the University of Arizona. Whether they be older and looking to get a higher degree, or just taking a class for fun. Or the ones fresh out of high school with the whole world ahead of them. Everyone is friendly and you can receive a degree for just about anything here. No one is disregarded for their differences.

Firingiz

The best thing about my school is that it's a great place to learn and get a degree. Variety of programs to choose from. And advisors who help with paper work and carrier plan.

Ryan

There is a lot of opportunity to become engaged in the academic community but you have to reach out and make an effort. Wonderful research is going on, summer programs, internships, etc. Just look. Also, there are a lot of resources that also must be sought out.

Janka

Nice campus, nice landscaping. Affordable living. A lot of student (work-study) oportunities. A lot of oportunities for research.

Mackenzie

It is a place filled with a diversity of students whom are all accepting of one another.

Danya

I would say the availability of resources is the best thing there are many things located in one central area for the students such as the bookstore, libraries, and food services.

Bernard

The professors because they are very engaging and knowledgable. I feel as if I was not challenged enough in High School and became bored. Now that I am actively engaged in discussion, and able to share my beliefs, I feel as if I am more focused and am learning more.

Meli'sa

The best aspect of my school is definitely the academics. Everyone here is an intellectual and know what they want to accomplish after graduation. We strive to be the best in Arizona and outside of our state as well. Besides our fantastic school spirit, The University of Arizona is known for its tough classes yet smart students.

Coeta

While the University of Arizona has much to offer, the best thing about my school is the community. Professors want students succeed and will do their best to see that happen. Fellow students are friendly, welcoming and encouraging. Each day walking around campus, the University of Arizona feels like home; even if there are 38,000 students enrolled. That is hard to come by.

Wilfred

The professors and staff are friendly and supportive; the students are diverse and interesting.

Bianca

I consider the services that are provided at the University of Arizona to be the best thing about it. Services such as the Disability Resource Center have alowed me to become more adapt to my clases easier. The tuoring program is also a great resource because it helps students to get help in their classes without being charged. The Saferide service is also good because it allows students like me ,who can not see well at night, to move around campus without the posibility of getting into an accident. All of these services and others make me feel more comfortable.

Rachel

The best thing about the University of Arizona is the enthusiasm of the student body. We are club presidents, honor students, University sports teams fans, and truly excited to be here. This is so great because the learning that goes on in the class rooms is encouraged by our peers. The quality of education is phenominal and that makes going to class fun here.

Javier

Whether one is from across the street or from across the world, students at the University of Arizona are not treated differently from anyone. In probably the most elite student- friendly environment, everyone including students, professors and administration officials will encourage one another to succeed. Additionally, the connection, in Tucson, AZ, with a vast amount of local graduates provides students with networking for a career locally or a starting line to build a professional or educational network on the national and even international level.

Emmanuel

The best thing about the University of Arizona is its plentiful resources such as teacher availability and enormous computer lab. If you need help with something at the University of Arizona, there is a place where someone can help you. It almost seems like nothing was forgotten when establishing the University of Arizona.

Tiffany

All the clubs they have really lets you get involved with the things you are passonate about.

Starr

Here at the University of Arizona they care about their students. The university wants us to achieve, and they do what ever is possible in order for us to come out on top.

Nicole

The best thing at my school would have to be the ability to choose classes you want to take. In High School I felt that there wasn't much room for choice when creating your schedule. The counselors took the liberty of choosing the classes you needed in order to graduate. Once your schedule was set it was not easy to change. In college, however, you are responsible for choosing classes that will meet your major requirements. Through this method, there is much more freedom and choice. Even after school starts, students are able to drop and add more classes.

Christopher

The university of Arizona is very unique and has many things to offer. The best thing about the school has to be that it is so well rounded and offers so much. For example, there are so many diverse fields of study from theater to science. All of the different degrees fields are all top notch and highly successful. The campus offers many different sporting events for school spirts and involvement. The campus life offers well sized and clean facilities. Majority of the campus is going green to save the enviornment. There are just tons of activites to get involved.

BrandonsShimmel

The best thing I consider about my school is the variety of degree programs offered and the diversity of the student body.

Kevin

Honestly, I'd say the atmosphere. There are a lot of different good things that combine together to make Arizona's atmosphere a great one to live in. From the good classes and great professors to the popularity of the sports on campus (football and men's basketball most notably), the entire atmosphere makes any bad experience students may have at Arizona pale in comparison to the good experiences they have. I know this to be true since I've had bad experiences, but overall, my time at Arizona has been much more good than bad.

Casey

The best thing about the University of Arizona is the wide range of strong academic programs available and the learning opportunities that this provides. Being in community with students in a variety of fields causes me and other students at UA to develop a global perspective, to think in new ways not only about our own studies but about challenges and possibilites outside our specific field of study.

Leila

I just got into the Eller College of Management, the University's business program and it has extremely high academic and ethical standards. It has an impeccable reputation that will allow for greater chances of success when leaving school and entering the workforce.

Zanae

For me, the best thing about this school is that people are really friendly and it is very easy to make study groups and everyone is willing to help each other. Teachers are also definitely willing to help out their students and want them to succeed. I have met plenty of friends and I have had a pretty good time here.

Luchie

The best thing about the University of Arizona would be its outstanding and prestigious reputation for being a public university. The Eller College is ranked one of the top business schools in the country. Aside from business school, U of A is also highly reputed for engineering and science majors. They have high quality researches and are always looking for a better future for everyone. The Wildcats seek to improve not only the students lives but the community as a whole.

Jessica

I think that the best thing about my school is the quality of education and the way they listen to their students. They now have resturants on campus that cater to the students needs instead of just having one big cafeteria like other Universities.

Alicia

Flexible post-grad programs

Yong

The best thing about my school is that there are a lot of study resources and tutors available even in the dorm. So, it cannot be an excuse when you say, ?I didn?t know how to study and there was barely anyone to help me.? The University tried to provide a lot of feedbacks on how to prepare for the final exams or how to study to succeed and experience the best possible education. I always feel secure and confident in studying anything and I become the one who don?t fear to ask any question.

yixuan

It's clean and big

Andrew

That the school isn't too big so people can connect. Also the weather is nice which leads to better personality dispositions.

Erika

It is easy to navigate where you are going. People are more than willing to direct you to where you want to go. And it is easy to navigate using the campus maps.

April

The best thing abou the University of Arizona is the advisors and counselors. I have changed my major more than once and have had to figure out different schedules each time to accomodate those changes. Each time the counselors and advisors have been professional, helpful and understanding.
