The University of Arizona

Tucson, like all college towns, has its fair share of crime. It has grown on me in a good way, and I haven't had to wear a jacket once. It is a beautiful city with a lot of character that is directly reflected within the campus. The University does a great job with personalizing the experience. If you have an issue, you can contact someone and get help without going through a 10 person chain of command (like the one used at another state school not to be mentioned). Arizona gives students a few good options when choosing a University, and the U of A has many wonderful programs to choose from. The Chemical Engineering department is absolutely amazing, the professors will go above and beyond to help students learn the material, increase student involvement within the university, gain access to internship resources, overall, creating an environment for success. There are so many research opportunities presented by this school, it has opened my mind to possibilities I had not imagined. Since day 1, I felt welcomed with open arms.

I had the most wonderful time of my life here. I learnt so much and made so many good friends on this beautiful campus. The Geography department is absolutely fantastic!

Another tax supported "educational" mill. A 45,000 student population says it all. This university saw its best days during the seminal Harvill presidency. Recent administrations have been extremely opportunistic for academic administrators using the university as a short term professional stepping stone or a door to near term retirement. The university is characterized by a regrettably mediocre undergraduate student body, a deadbeat campus run by paternalistic officials and an ineffective campus police department. Tucson is a crime ridden resort city, financially bankrupt, without much to offer graduates in professional opportunities and thoroughly trashed by cheap business and retirement development and proximity to the vicissitudes of the Mexican border. Many of the graduate programs can hold their own; however, prospective students should not expect to find prevailing progressive curricula and progressive administrators at this university, especially in the undergraduate school.
