University of Arizona Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Arizona? Why?

They let alot of grad students teach the classes and while a good portion of them care about you succeeding and about teaching you the material some of them do not care and are wrapped up in their own school or do not have patience.

The worst thing about the University of Arizona is the fact that it is a distance away from home.

The University of Arizona is an admirable school that I would highly recommended to anyone. The only downside to it, in my opinion, is when it comes to getting into your desired classes and times the chance is somewhat slim. Due to the high population at The University of Arizona, waking up at six in the morning on the designated day to register for classes is not always enough. Nevertheless, it is still possible to get a decent schedule as long as it is done ahead of time, they might not just be your first choice classes.

The worst thing that I consider at the University of Arizona is trying to find a parking spot. With over 375 acres (1.5km^2), there is not parking spot whatsoever unless you pay something out of your pocket. With over several parking garages to park with a fee, your still not guranteed that you will find a good parking spot. Conveniently you want the 1st floor one but, so far unfortunately, I have always found one above that floor. And I mean always! So I suggest something should ought to be done regarding this.

i have a daughter and this is one of the few large universities that dont have childcare for children of students. i think that is a bit discriminatory. its hard enough being a student and a mom, they could at least do what other major colleges do.

The worst thing about this school is the amount it costs to go to college and the very low amount of aid that is available to students.

Not enough financial aid for out of state students.

I would consider the weather the worst part about the school. Either it is really hot outside and you are sweating to get from class to class, or it is really cold outside and you are freezing. And then when you get inside the buildings they are either too cold or too warm. It just seems like our buildings are really managed well temperature wise.

The worst thing about the University of Arizona is its Mathematics Department. The classes are needlessly complicated, and the majority of the teachers who teach the class are graduate students (most of which are not helpful). The math department ranks the lowest in passing rates and it is under scrutiny for doing so. Plus, the math department has set up different curriculum for Calculus students who are pressured into working for 3 weeks straight and taking a test to move onto the second half of the course while those who don't pass are forced to repeat that math class.

The location provides a lack of social activities to do besides the typical partying scene.
