University of Arizona Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about University of Arizona?

Dylan

The lack of cohesiveness as a student body. On campus, students have established cliques and are less likely to venture outside of their groups to pursue other opportunities. I feel that the University doesn't put enough value on school spirit and that makes for a divided campus. Sports events are the only times where I feel connected to my school as a whole.

Dustin

The most frustrating aspect of the U of A is the parking. There are many parking spots in garages, but the available free parking is non-existent.

Stephanie

Most of the social relations and friendships that people have are created through dorm and/or greek life. As a transfer student, or off campus resident it's difficult to make friends on campus when the only times you are able to interact with other students is in class. Also, it can be difficult to get assistance from administration, often times personnel have to transfer you to someone else to answer your question, or you have to wait for a response via email or phone call.

Ryan

There are so many students at this school, and I feel like there is no way for each student to get personal attention from the faculty. I know that universities have many students coming and going but I think an exclusive school might be better.

Myles

The amount of frat-style parties that include alcohol. Although it is possible to have a healthy social life without drinking, there is a certain crowd that will exclude you if you do not participate in the party scene.

nothing, its a great school.

Alexandra

I believe the most frustrating part of my school may be the same for every school- adjusting. I found that, especially during my freshman year, my peers and I struggled to find the best balance for each of our learning preferences and lifestyles. I think that once each student discovers the learning styles that word best for him or her individually and the priorities of the different components of their lives, such as academics, social life, family time, exercise, and clubs and activities, the student will only then be able to a manageable, fulfilling college experience.

Ryan

One of the most frustrating things about the school is the lack of non food job opportunities. There are some jobs available to apply for but if the deadline for applying is missed, then the student is out of luck and can't find a job. This can be very disappointing for students who were really busy and missed the deadline.

Nico

When I was a freshman getting general education classes was the most frustrating process ever.

Kaylie

After attending the University of Arizona for one complete semester, I can say that there is hardly anything "frustrating" about it. Honestly, the only thing I can say that is frustrating, for me personally, is that I can never get around to going to all the events that the U of A puts on. There is always something to do or attend that has educational value to go along with it. Never do I have to worry about being "bored" at this school.
