Before I came here I believed all theSuper BrilliantPolitical Science
Before I came here I believed all the stupid stereotypes that most people say. "Oh, UA is a dumbass school because of the low admission standards." or "ASU is better" (and trust me its not). UA was my last resort. Originally I wanted to go to U Miami. In the end I'm glad I got rejected from those other schools because I enjoy this one a lot better. The girls are gorgeous, the weather is unbeatable and the academics are in my opinion highly underrated. Some of the people I met here are in my opinion smarter than a few of the UF or FSU acceptees in my home state of Florida. I recommend every person take a second look before just brushing this school off because if you don't you are making a serious mistake. Don't believe what these jokers and turkeys on this website say about the school. They are only upset because they couldn't get a girl (or guy) if their life depended on it and were raised in a fallout shelter (especially that moron that called this school closed minded). This place is far more open minded than any place I have ever been at in my life and I would put any of these people on my staff if I ever owned a corporation. The teachers go through tooth and nail for their students and if you're willing to succeed and go the extra step than you will get it here. If you also think that this school is for underachievers keep in mind that world-famous producer Jerry Bruckheimer (can't spell his name correctly) and Barry Goldwater (former Governor of Arizona, Presidential candidate 1964, made Ronald Reagan famous) went here. Though I said I wanted to go to Miami I knew that this would be the place I went to since 9th grade and could'nt be any happier with this decision.

U of A can be an awesome experienceQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
U of A can be an awesome experience if you choose to make it one. We enjoy a year long vacation because of the nice weather. It can get hot but there are always pool parities at student housing complexes and most students share a very laid-back relaxed attitude. Joining Greek life is great but not mandatory to have a good time. School work can get stressful at times but that's just to remind you why your at school, often it's easy to forget that your there to learn and not relax and party.

Question
The University of Arizona maintains a good balance.Quite BrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
The University of Arizona maintains a good balance. It offers the wide selection of courses and facilities that you get with a big school, but the faculty and staff don't treat you like you are just a number. Great Campus, the students are friendly. We also have things that I know most universities dont have. We have a student-run live comedy sketch show every Friday for instance.
