What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If I had the ability to talk to myself in the past, I would have quite a few important things to say. First off, you should go to the University of Arizona. Watch your money, and don't waste any on the meal plan. Go to the grocery store instead - it's a lot cheaper. Drop computer science, it's not your thing. Go with business and psychology - that will get you much farther. Joining a fraternity is so worth it for community service and extracurricular activities. I would give myself advise on a few areas such as time-management, social/dating skills, and study techniques to myself in order to help live college life more effectively. As a farewell, I would warn myself about some bad life events to avoid, and wish me the best of luck in college.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
There are no cafeteria/ dinning halls in dorms. Although there are food courts in the student union, the incovenience of students having to travel away from safety of dorm rooms is not a good idea. Food courts in student union is very convenient for commuters but not for students living in dorms, especially during the night.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
Advisors are just that, advisors. In highschool the advisors would tell you exactly what you needed to do. Here they merely offer suggestions and the student is responsibe for doing other research to really figure out what will be the best path to graduation.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
I met my closest friends in the sorority I joined my sophomore year. People tend to party every weekend for sports events or just general events around campus. Saturday nights that don't involve drinking usually I am either studying or hanging out with my friends watching movies or swimming. Off campus there are so many great restaurants to check out, there are shooting ranges, downtown Tucson has a lot of shops and a very popular night life. The dating scene is pretty large here. The most popular groups on campus would probably be Greek life, intramural sports, and the student government.

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
Greek life is definitely prevalent at Arizona, and sometimes it feels dominant. As a freshman, I remember feeling like I missed out on a lot because I wasn't in a house, because that's where the parties seem to be, and there is such a social network there.
The stereotypes are just what you would expect. The guys are all workout-freaks, handsy with girls, alcoholics, and dress West-Coast wasp with high socks, sandals, sperries, board shorts and Ray-Bans. The sorority girls are always decked out in neon shirts for their house, and act very ditzy and promiscuous.
The stereotypes are a little overstated, and there are good frat guys and bad frat guys out there. But Arizona definitely gets has a "Greek" feel to it, and the houses take over a lot of what you see.
But other than that, there are as many kinds of people as you can imagine. Arizona is a large school (~40,000) for undergrad, and part of the fun is that there are so many "crowds" out there. If you are a stoner, a math nerd, a student government do-good, an athlete, or a hipster, there are the circles out there. Again, it is not like high school where you know everyone's name. It's easy to get lost.
Stereotypes are only generalizations. There are a lot of people out there, and if you really want to branch out, you can't judge people by their associations, i.e. Greek house, where they went to high school, etc. The best thing to do is forego thinking in those terms, and just get involved and meet people. It's such a big school that if you make the right connections, you can find the kind of people you want to befriend.

When you step off campus what do you see?
Tucson is kind of a small town, so finding stuff to do can get a little challenging. However, if armed with your trusty ID (legitimacy optional but encouraged) take a nice stroll down 4th avenue. It has some, um, unique clothing stores and tiny restaurants with the BEST BURGERS EVER, and best of all, no fewer than seven bars all within fifteen minutes of each other, and you can end your bar-hopping with a San Francisco-style ride home. No driving necessary!

Tell us about the sports scene on campus.
Wildcat Nation is crazy!!! BEAR DOWN!!!! ZonaZoo!!!
everyone in Tucson shows up for game days and the tailgates begin early for football games. The ZonaZoo for a football game is 10,000 students loud and proud! We still have some work to do to get back to being our "Desert Swarm" days but we will get there with our new North Endzone project set to start after this season.
Inside McKale its even crazier as "Point GuardU" our nickname when it comes to Basketball shows nothing less than an almost packed arena every game. As we are on track to get our next National Championship banner hung once again in McKale in the next few years.
