Regarding University of Arizona, it is a very good school but Tucson isn’t exactly a “fun” city. The area near campus has bars and restaurants and you can find outdoor activities like hiking, etc. Beyond that, I’m not sure what you would be attracted to.
If you end up looking in Arizona, I would also check out Arizona State University in Tempe (Phoenix). ASU is located very near the Phoenix airport (which would be a consideration if you are coming from the east coast - you probably would not want to make a connection to get to Tucson. It is about 2 hours by car). ASU is a large school and there is a lot to do in the Phoenix area (hiking, outdoor sports, shopping, concerts, etc). Prospects for internships, etc. are a bit better than Tucson (they exist there, but are more plentiful in Phoenix). Both UofA and ASU have Honors programs but the Barrett Honors College is highly rated.
