It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life to go to Eller College of Management for FINANCE. I heard friends enjoyed so much about their MIS, Marketing, Accounting program. Unfortunately, similar to other FINANCE major colleague, I found myself most of the time upset at the program, regretful of choosing Finance, having wasted my precious 2 years of college getting terrible education from the Finance department. Most of their international professors are brilliant individuals but it's obvious that they are not so bright at teaching FINANCE. The assignments are mostly useless in helping students understand deeper the materials and prepare themselves for exams. I finished the program with a major GPA of 3.89/4.0 yet realized how little I learned throughout the process. Forget about getting prestigious job at big firms unless you are top tier students who spend most of their time networking, club activities and internships. 8/10 friends of mine who got jobs at big firms like Goldman, Merrill, Booz, Vanguard,etc would agree without any hesitation of such a terrible education level at Eller FINANCE department. I really wish I had majored in MIS, Marketing or whatever else NOT FINANCE. Try get in USC or UCB instead. If not you better of going to USD, OSU or anywhere else that cost about the same for out-of-state.

The list of courses to take was extensive. Political Science and History classes were taught by top tier professors. The campus itself is beautiful. There is a lot for sports enthusiasts as U of A perenially has great teams in almost all sports. The night life was happening.

I love the school, but do not buy a meal plan, live off campus, and you will survive college and party on your own time. Plenty of parties. Careful what you sign. Geosciences here is 1 in the country and a year here will show you why. Beautiful and close to the mountains for camping and climbing and hiking. Car is not needed but is nice.
