UA is a great school in a chill city that has nice weather and beautiful, beautiful people. You will become attached to it. Maybe it will be the way cars splash dirty street water into your face every time it rains, since there are practically no drainage systems in Tucson, and water just sits in dangerously deep pools along the sides of the road. Maybe it will be all the construction that will make you walk miles out of you way to get to early-morning classes. Or, perhaps it will be vying for couches to sleep on during class breaks. But, despite all of the hard times, the UA will become an endearing place that you’ll always remember. You will probably eat so many meals in the Student Union Memorial that you will see them in your dreams. You will walk the same sidewalks over and over in both the sunshine and in the rain. You'll have long talks with friends in parking lots. You may read John Updike for the first time here, rediscover Faulkner in the Modern Languages Building, or pull an all-nighter in the library. Some stumble through Calculus with a teacher who hardly spoke English. Yeah, the UA has its problems, but don't come here looking for boring perfection. If you want a decent education and an interesting experience, you'll get them both at the UA Filter:

Fantastic.
A-
My experience in college has been excellent. You meet a ton of new people here, make friends extremely easily, and gain independence. The only folly is the work. I cruised through high school and the workload was difficult to manage right off the bat. My recommendation would be to get all work done early so procrastination isn't an issue. I learned my lesson the first semester. |

Unflinchingly Strict.
A-
If students get caught with alcohol they receive a mark on their record and their apt, house or dorm gets "red-tagged". If there is a second offence I believe they are evicted and possibly disqualified from the University. Drug offenses are a different story. Those who are caught with drugs are usually arrested. Subtlety is the key. If students aren't disturbing the peace, blasting obnoxious music, or being belligerent they are usually fine. |

Variety, but Expensive.
B-
In the Student Union where most students go to eat after classes, there are a variety of restaurants. We have IQ Fresh which serves healthy wraps, Burger King, Papa Johns (which takes our CatCard, Panda Express, and our own Deli. And on University Blvd there are restaurants that students usually go to for dinner. Chipotle, Which Wich, No Anchovies, and many others. Buying a mealplan isn't the best idea because you only get a 6% discount, the only places that take CatCard are things in the Union and Papa Johns. Then at the end of the year if you have money left on the plan, the school charges you 75 dollars to refund the money. It completely defeats the purpose of purchasing the meal plan.
My suggestion: make a budget for food, try not to spend too much on fountain drinks (I usually ask for a water cup), and make trips to the store for groceries so you don't have to spend money eating out all the time. |
