University of Arizona Top Questions

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

Kara

Athletes receive the highest priority for class registration, over Honors students and Veterans. Many of the athlete's I've been in classes with could hardly string a sentence together and clearly were getting a free ride just so the school could have an impressive sports team. Very sad.

Ashley

The worst thing about my school would have to be the amount of money it costs for out of state students. Being an out of state student, I have been through all the finiancial struggles of attending this school. I am in love with this school and would never want to leave, which makes it more difficult on myself and family, becuase money is always an issue. I do not recieve financial aid anymore from school, making it more difficult to stay without always being stressed about money.

Beatriz

The worst thing about the University of Arizona has to be the fact that it is very expensive. I pay for my own schooling because my parents are providing for my three little sisters, therefore I cannot afford all the little extra fees and the tuition that the school charges to me as well as other students. As a result I have to resort to loans which I want to avoid so that I can afford dental school in the future.

Elizabeth

The worst thing about my school is the parking. There are so few places to park for free and if you find a free spot its usually several blocks a way from school. The best parking spots are about $300 and up. So give yourself enough time to walk the distance without being late to class.

I think the worst thing about school is you are charged for certain things that some students never use and it's not far. Why should you pay for something you don't use or never go to? I think they should only charge students for things like recreation room like using the gym, swimming, etc if the students who are actually using them. But those who never go there and uses the facilities should not be charged.

38,000 spots and only a couple thousands places to park on campus. It it an adventure finding a place to park on campus. The meters spots are always full and garage parking is so expensive. Around campus, there are a few patches of few parking, however, make sure it is legal. Many students have received parking tickets for parking in a zone they thought was free parking.

Emily

I think the U of A has very similar problems to any other university; there's no colossal issue that stands out. There are the little things, like getting tired of the campus food after a while, or having to invest in a bike to get from one side of campus to the other to make your class on time.

Angela

I felt like there was not enough diversity in ideas and social behavior.

Rebecca

The worst thing about Augustana College is that it offers many wonderful programs to choose from; picking a major is a very difficult task.

Akane

The worst about the school is that one of the libraries close early on Fridays. I believe not all students are out partying and drinking, so they should open the Science Engineering Library until late at night for other students to provide studying areas . It closes around 6 p.m. on Fridays and I wanted to go study at this library on Friday night because I had plans on the weekends. However, the library closed early, so I was not able to study for the test on Monday. Therefore, they should change the time of service at this library.
