Do Your Thing
Stand out, blend in. Find yourself and your new best friends. Join one (or more) of our 600+ student clubs and organizations. Arizona is a place that celebrates your individuality while welcoming you to a worldwide community of Wildcats.
Arizona makes it easy to form a community with other students because we’re all on the same beautiful campus surrounded by the mountains. I preferred the community-style, red-bricked campus as opposed to a large, spread out campus.

World-Class Academicsand Support
We’re a highly ranked public university and one of the best in the west for a reason: students graduate ready to make an impact.With a 15:1 student-faculty ratio, you’ll make real connections with your professors and classmates. You’ll challenge yourself at an elite, global research university with faculty who are experts in their fields and who care enough to help you reach your personal best.
The University of Arizona environment is very supportive. Advisors are extremely helpful and I can definitely say my program is like a family. I don’t know if you can say that about very many schools.

The Smart Choice
An Arizona education is an investment in your future that pays off immediately and lasts for a lifetime. Nearly nine out of 10 Arizona students receive financial aid and that same number believe their education was worth the cost.

It’s Quirky. It’s Funky.It’s Tucson
You won’t find many college towns that have as much school pride as Tucson. It’s a foodie destination, a bike rider’s paradise, and features wide-open landscapes that offer endless inspiration. Whether you prefer spending your days poolside, hitting the trails for a hike, or savoring neon sunsets, you’ll never be bored here.
Tucson is a big city with a small-town feel. As a student you feel embraced here. Tucson really rallies around the university and makes it feel like a second home.
