Love everything about this school! It wasnt my top choice when I was picking a college but now that I am here there isnt a single other place I could imagine myself happier. This school has strong academics, amazing social life, tons of activities and resources, everything. If you love the sun this is the best choice. Love UofA so much!!

The school is so sketchy and most of the people are very mean and drink everyday and it’s just a small town with not much to do and the food is so icky

Not the best school. Most advisors will tell you to take a lot of the classes at Pima. Make a big deal about their DEI programs when you are applying but are very discriminatory when you are a student. STEM programs require you to essentially teach yourself. Not many opportunities for internships/jobs. Social life is what you make of it.

Very inconsistent WiFi. Do not rely on this WiFi! Faculty members suck too. There only 1 good teacher in each program the rest have a huge egos. 2 people have been killed on campus less than 1 year. Cop were « overwhelmed » during these tragic events. Don't expect any sort of safety in this school. Also the WiFi sucks so much ass.

If you arent in a sorority or frat, then youre not going to enjoy it at all. Not very much to do for people under 21 and not in frats or sororities.
