Which school has a better student body or more vibrant social scene? Any details from current students about each school would be appreciated.
there’s more than one U of A, be more specififc
Arizona presumably.
Do some research on College Niche. It has comments from students which are helpful. I looked and from what I read, U of A seems to be more of a party, sports oriented school than NAU. It has about 10,000 more students and is located in a bigger (and warmer) city, so just by those factors, I would guess it would have a bigger variety of social opportunities.
However, I know several people who graduated from NAU and every one of them enjoyed their time there and a lot of them said they would have liked to stay in Flagstaff after graduating if that would have been possible.
