Interesting times at Arizona’s premier universities. ASU’s trajectory continues undauntedly upward in almost every regard. Ira Fulton Engineering and WP Carey Business Schools, along with the incredible developments in ASU Downtown (seriously, you have to see this urban campus if you have not), and then landing once again as the #1 ranked school for Innovation by US News. Great time for sure to be part of the incredible school that is ASU.
Then we come to U of A. Also an incredible school for the sciences, astronomy, archeology, earth science, optical science and engineering. Nation’s top tier basketball program as well (Sorry, Coach K). Coupled with…a very cool, laid back liberal vibe with phenomenal weather and mountains. Great looking and fit people everywhere. What’s not to love???
Apparently, the PR of the leadership gaffes that continue to flood our inboxes. U of A needs to get it together quickly.

In all, if I am a student interested in top-flight education in a phenomenal place with national attention and ambitions, ASU is the place as it continues to redefine EVERYTHING about how a university serves its publics. Forks Up!
