Hi, im a Arizona native and have lived here my entire life. Currently attending community college and looking to transfer. Already crossed NAU off my list and having a hard time deciding between the last 2. Love both schools, I enjoy UofA as a school more but not liking Tucson as much, but enjoy a more college town and community. ASU doesn’t seem to be as much of a community/have a college town like UofA does. I love the Tempe and Phoenix area but I’m still drawn to UofA, although everyone in my family has graduated from ASU. Just need help deciding, and don’t want “It’s really whatevee you want/like” haha.
Have you talked to any people that go to either college? The only reason I bring it up is because of UofA’s reputation for being a more “preppy and rich kid school” if you will. I had a good friend actually drop out this year from UofA because he simply hated the people there. It may have been because he was rushing but in the end he just didn’t find a way to fit in. I know both schools are known for partying but I would definitely recommend trying to talk to people that go to either school if possible.
And btw, another one of my good friends also goes to UofA and she absolutely loves it. I just wanted to mention this so my opinion doesn’t seem skewed lol
