University of Arizona Top Questions

That students drink so much and there is so much casual sex. If you don't partake in these it's hard to socialize and find people that don't want to drink and get drunk on the weekends. I don't feel that social relationships are encouraged.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the parking, and how much parking costs. In a way, the price for parking in a garage is a rip off, since they charge you 2 dollars for the first hour and then every hour after; even if you were there for a hour and a half, you get charged 4 dollars for parking. It's really annoying and frustrating.

Nothing. There is absolutely nothing that frustrates me about the University.

To be honest, I believed the most frustrating thing about this school was the participation in Greek Life. I can't tell you how many individuals, boys and girls, I came across that made extremely poor choices in their college career because of the fraternity or sorority that they were in. To this day, I strongly believe the reason many of my friends did NOT graduate from the University of Arizona was because they were a member of the fraternity or sorority that they became a part of.

At the moment, I have experienced anything that frustrates me about my school. On the contrary, I have loved my experience as a first year, first generation college student because I was able to have all my questions answered by multiple resources around campus and I was really able to get help/ tutoring with the wonderful professors and teaching assistants. I was also able to explore different classes and expand my knowledge on many different topics through the general education classes offered here.

The professors at this university are very involved in their fields and love what they do, but that leaves little face time (office hours) with their students. One of my biology professors (also a researcher) only had 15 minute office hours, twice a week. There are tutors for almost every subject, but I believe it's important to make a strong presence in front of your professor, not only for a good grade, but because you could potentially land an internship in a research lab!

The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of communication when it comes to finding out the correct answer to a problem through the different offices. For example, when trying to find out how I would apply for in state residency or if my financial aid award was final, whenever I would call that department I would always get a multitude of different answers. One day I would be told something and the next when I asked, the answer was completely different. I just based the solution to the problem on the most similar answers.

For me the most frustrating thing about my school is that I grew up in the same hometown that I attend school in now. I love the wildcats but I would also love to be able to meet new people.

Without a doubt, the most frustrating thing at the University of Arizona is the summer heat! As an out of state student, I am lucky to be able to return to my second home for a few weeks to escape the desert weather and I encourage all other students to try to do the same. At the start of the school year during August and September, it can still be pretty hot while walking from class to class. Thankfully though, the heat frustration can be avoided by finding a shady spot or a cold drink.

The most frustrating thing about my school is how the teachers in the math department make the assignment and the classes in general harder than they need to be.
