The Stadium at the University of Arizona is called, Bear Down. It's our school anthem as well. Bear Down means do whatever it takes to succeed. It is very similar to the famous phrase, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Bear Down t shirts are sold in the bookstore and hundreds of them can be seen on students everyday. Bear Down helps students remember to carry forth this attitude, not just academically, but for life in general. When obstacles come, "Bear Down" and overcome them. This part of the great legacy of the University of Arizona!

The University of Arizona based off of Tucson AZ, is known for its extensive research in varies fields. It’s known for its outstanding University medical center and basketball program. Recently the University made a major investment in its recreational facility to make it more energy efficient. Though this are what the university of Arizona presents as its best qualities as a student I personally feel that the vast diversity of cultures and religions/ethnic back grounds is what makes the university of Arizona an exceptional place for higher education.

I have lived in Tucson for over thirty years, and have taken a great deal of pleasure in attending many cultural events at the U of A, as well as a variety of sports events for which the U of A is renowned.
