Leona

The University of Arizona is a place where professors, staff, and students all work together. As an undergraduate student of Natural Resources, I wanted to create local projects to address Arizona's depleting water supply. With support from all levels of the university, a group of students retrofitted three campus building landscapes so that irrigation was no longer necessary. The ability of staff, faculty, and students to collaborate on a project is a unique phenomenon that can only happen at a very special school, and I value my opportunity to have been a part of such a collaboration.

When I was having hard time in school because my father was dying, the administration member of University of Arizona helped me to deal with it emotionally. They were very professional in handling the situation.

Shana

There are so many opportunities to be involved on campus, from sports, to clubs, to Greek life. Since there are over 30,000 students , it can be hard to take the initiative, put yourself out there, and pursue those opportunities but in the end it is 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} worth it. A plus to having so many students at one University is the diversity of clubs that are offered since any student may be the founder of any club. Getting involved makes any school experience better.

I believe that the best thing about my school would have to be how it has a lot of support for students who are new to the Tucson area and new to the University of Arizona.

The people here are very friendly. Although the university is not very diverse, it is good to see that there are a few multicultural centers available. The best advice I can give to a future student would be to get involved. Being involved is the best way to meet new people and transition from home to school. People are very welcoming and for the most part nonjudgemental allowing that process to be very easy.

It is different from the other universities. It focuses a lot on research and has many opportunites to join a research lab or group. Also, it has many opportunities of community-based activities. It is in an old town, so there are a lot of things that you would not normally see in newer towns.

Although the University of Arizona is host to many paranormal activities and numerous haunted buildings, we did an investigation into a turn-of-the-century murder mystery on campus.

The school is easily accessible for many resources as long as there is the desire for them. If you need help with anything you can most definitely find it with personal effort. The advising that I have received has been among some of the best and the people I have met in the classes of my preference have been amazing. The school does well to work with yo uand your needs.

Stefanie

The best thing about the U of A is the student body, in my opinion. The people here are so outgoing and laidback, and always friendly.

Maybe it's because of the weather, but I feel like everyone is happy all the time!

Toni

The best thing would have to be that everyone is so into the school and makes you feel welcome.

Alexandra

The friendly environment makes it easy to study and learn. Even though it is a big campus, it is easy to get around. Living just off campus, it is still easy to get to classes. We don't have to battle the weather, so it is easy to walk almost every day to class and wardrobe selection is not difficult. Most instructors have been good and helpful as have the tutors, when needed. The social life is also well balanced between parties and volunteer work. there is definitely something for every student at this campus.

Amanda

The best thing about my school is the resources they offer for student with learning disabilities. In High School I constantly struggled with my classes and the school did not offer resources for students with learning disabilities. I was always stressed and developed an anxiety problem. Now at the University of Arizona my learning disability does not create as much anxiety as it did in High school. The only issue with the resources at the University of Arizona is that it?s very expensive, which does not help my anxiety. However, the resources are very helpful.

Hailey

The best thing about the University of Arizona is the variety of career choices they have to offer, along with encouraging faculty members that are willing to help students reach their goals. With the help of academic advisors and professors, students can pick the degree they want and are assisted by the staff each step of the way.

Chris

The best thing about U of A is definitely it's size. Having that many people together in one place with the same desire to learn and expand their life experiences brings all the possiblities out into the open. With hundreds of programs, clubs, and groups, any students from anywhere can easily find 4 or 5 things they're interested in. Even with it's large size, U of A feels like a small community.

The best thing about my school is the variety of different types of people who attend. I love meeting all different types of people at this campus and experiencing new things with them.
