The University of Arizona has many hidden corners and opportunities for those who seek to find them. There are dozens of resources for students to learn and make their education their own. I believe the University is making steps to help students acclimate to college by starting programs to support the student body. There are hundreds of classes to choose from, which makes it easy to tailor make your education based upon your personal goals and interests. There are always exciting events taking place on campus, and plenty of opportunities to connect with other students from all backgrounds. I would recommend the University of Arizona to anyone!

I have loved attending the University of Arizona and experiencing all it has to offer, from its various clubs and opportunities to its everyday vibrant campus life. There is almost constantly something happening on the mall each day, and we even have a farmer's market weekly! The only thing I have struggled with is some of the department structures and some professors. Although this can be a major setback and possibly reasoning to change the structure of some classes and departments, it should still motivate you as a student to put in the extra work and perform better than the averages! This campus does excellent work in providing outside resources and free tutoring, and when you have the time and the drive, you can get a lot out of your social and academic experience here.
Universirty of Arizona is an excellent university, with a diverse and active student population, and faculty who care about student success. It is located close to a vibrant downtown and is the center of activity for Tucson, Arizona. U of A athletics are successful nationally and bring attract fans to all types of games and activities. The community surrounding the campus is community oriented and offers outreach activities and community events for all of Tucson to enjoy. University of Arizona is a great place to be!
