My favorite thing about UA is that both my parents went here, and that's is a college town. Other than that, it's the same as any other school.

The BEST thing about Arizona for me are all the internship opportunities that are available through the career fair each semester. One thing that I would like to see change would be a small decrease in tuition each year. I come from out of state and even with a scholarship, I still find it incredible how much I still have to pay. I think the school size is a little big, but as long as we don't get to be over 75,000, I would be happy. Bigger schools make for more chaos, and lack of commonality between people. I get different responses when I tell people that I go to UofA. I either get an "ohh...so how is that," or "oh, that's great, its a great school from what I hear." While I'm on campus, I usually spend most of my time in class, at the gym, in the library, or at my sorority. I like that Arizona is situated in a smaller city as opposed to Phoenix, because you get more of a small college town feel especially when you are living on or around campus. The biggest recent controversy on campus probably had to be the announcement that Arizona Basketball Coach Lute Olson will be coaching again next year after he had taken an unexpected leave of absence this year. I love Arizona because we really do have a lot of school spirit and pride for Arizona. There are always people wearing Arizona shirts and sweatshirts around campus and sporting events are usually pretty filled most of the time. Something that I thought was unusual about Arizona, but soon learned to love was that every afternoon at 12pm the administration building plays Arizona's fight song. (Again emphasizing the Arizona school spirit). One experience I will always remember is rushing the football field after we beat UCLA for homecoming~amazing :) Most frequent student complains would be tuition is too high, Greeks run everything, webreg is very frustrating when registering, Comm classes need to have more professors or more sections to meet the demands of comm majors, esp. for seniors.

I love arizona because of the weather and the campus. I think that we have a perfect campus in a square mile of the city of tucson. It is easy to access all that UA has to offer if you live on campus because of this. Most of the time i spend on campus is at my frat house, otherwise im in class or at the library. I consider this mainly a college town/retirement community because a lot of focus is on college and sports because there is no other team in the general area. Also, the weather attract old people. I think we have some school pride but not as much as other schools, we have vew few dedicated fans that will show up if the team is losing or if our team is playing a Florida International University team that is garbage. I wouldnt change much but i would respectfully request that we stop raising tuition each and every year so we can pay for those 3000 dollar glass windows that were retardedly put on a main road in the safe streets of tucson. But, UA is great in general and im glad i choose here and hope to graduate sometime in the near future.

coming from chicago, the weather is one of the best things about arizona and it is a much more laid back atmosphere. i do not think there is as much school pride as i thought there would be when i came to college.

The school is HUGE, but it is easy to make it small. I enjoy everything, particularly the buttery nugs.

I think our school is becomming too strict and is systematically trying to ruin college life. They've already ruined Homescomming.
