“Model U.N. has been my favorite part of my undergraduate experience. I’m also a reporter for the student newspaper and intern for a local food blog, which is a delicious way to build a portfolio.”
Erika’s top-three reasons for choosing Arizona as an out-of-state student.
1. Picture-Perfect Campus
“When I saw the red-brick buildings, lines of palm trees, and gorgeous sunsets, I knew this was the place for me.”
2. Classic College Experience
“Tucson is the perfect college town and the University of Arizona gave me the fun, big-school experience I always dreamed of.”
3. Scholarships
“Thanks to the university’s numerous scholarships for out-of-state students, this was the best financial option for me and my family.”
