Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Psychology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright The University of Arizona is an absolute diamond in the rough. Make no bones about it, Tucson is a city with a lesser element like all big cities, with some serious property crime issues, but if you know how to take care of yourself and your property you will have an awesome time. Tucson has no "Mill Ave", but quality human beings worth meeting aren't going to be found at bars anyway. The house party scene is where it's at, and it's second to none. The student body is the best looking I have ever seen, overall better than ASU and on par with the likes of U of Texas. Virtually all of the programs at Arizona are of high repute. The space program gets God only knows how much money and the Business school is very highly accredited. The only thing I don't know about is the liberal arts program, and, well, if you're going to college to learn how to dance then good luck in the real world- you'll need it.

In the general education classes, there are typically a lot of stupid people who are distracting. The administration is very bad because every office and department is independant of one another and does not know how the other operates. So if you ever run into a problem, you will get told different things by different people before you can even resolve anything. Like most schools, your grades here depend on your teacher- how difficult or easy he/she chooses to make the subject. I would recommend reading student reviews to choose an instructor who has a generally favorable rating among students because if you get a bad instructor, you will have a difficult time. I cannot say much about the social aspects of the university, since I do not participate in them, but it seems like there are a number of clubs students could join.

Pros: -Beautiful campus -Faculty are helpful, even though I have heard of people having bad experiences with some -Lots of resources such as computer labs that are usually open on campus for use -School spirit. We have lots of it! Cons: -The city of Tucscon sucks. Pretty much nothing to do. -Therefore, the social life here is dominated by the greek life. You don't have to be greek to have a good time, but it helps. Since UA is dominated by greek, there's a lack of diversity. -This isn't the brightest school with the most driven or smartest kids. UA isn't a hard school to get into at all even though we have a pretty decent reputation as a school. Sure, we have an Honors College which is actually pretty hard to get into. But you'll see a lot of kids (especially in General Ed courses) who aren't very bright and don't care about their education. There is a very small amount of students that you will see who are geniuses. Neutral: -The students. Some of very friendly and open minded. Others are stuck up with a poor attitude on others who may not be rich or part of Greek. I have a couple of friends who are part of sororities and either absolutely hate it or love it. But at any school, you're going to have that mix of students who are either friendly or not so friendly. -Sometimes UA feels like a continuation of high school depending on the people you surround yourself with. But you get what you put in, and so far, I'm liking UA after my first year. Faculty Accessibility: A-, Surrounding City: D Have a Question?

U of A is arguably the hardest school in Arizona and it is harder than I thought to get good grades. While its not impossible, its definitely harder than what I've heard from stories at ASU and NAU. The science department is great here and I have learned alot. For someone who wants to go to pharmacy school, I am staying with U of A because it is excellent preparation.
