University of Arizona Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about my school is the streets. It is a very random complaint but it is necessary to discuss. The streets are full with holes and cracks. When it rains, huge puddles form and it is difficult to cross the streets without getting your feet wet. There are also many hills, and after a long day of classes, walking up a hill is the last thing a student would want to do.

Attendence is required in some classes. If I understand the concept and do not feel like I need to go to the lecture, I should not have to. It makes me feel a little babied. I understand that it is preparing us for the work force, but its annoying at times.

people in advance course doesn't want to give old materials to new stdents unless there very good friend and it hard to make new friends without being a member pf fraternities

I am coming from a community college that did not have school on fridays. The University has school fridays and even though I am noticing its for the best it is still frustrating. I also get frustrated that the study group rooms are full most of the time.

At times the UofA can be just a little bit too big. I don't mean in terms of teachers and too many student in classes, but rather you are sometimes lost in the shuffle when it comes to things like financial aid or help with registration. Even advisory appointments can take way too long to plan. The beginning of the semester can be absolutely horrible if you might be having problems that need to be attended to by the university.

Dealing with academic counselor who don't always look out for you and paying for tuition.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Arizona is how expensive text books are. However, this probably applies to most college campuses. My school offers to buy back text books at the end of each semester, but usually do not offer even half of the original amount students had to pay for them. Tuition is already very expensive to begin with, and having to pay even more for books is extremely expensive, especially when most professors require students to buy text books for class.

Money, I have none, but I can't get any money (i.e. loans) I need to pay for tuition.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Arizona is that students are charged for every little thing. Freshmen students are charged fees just for being freshmen. Everyone is charged a gym fee and not everyone uses the gym. This is one thing that I do not like.

In my opinion, the most frustrating thing about The University of Arizona is parking. The parking areas are very limited so the students have to sign up very early to get a good spot. The negative thing about register early is that we have to pay full price because the price drops every day. Full price for parking permit range from $400-$600 which is very expensive for students' budget.
