- The college and classroom environment is genuinely great, very welcoming and engaging.
- Super diverse culture with international students from all over the world, so you learn a lot beyond just academics.
- Strong academics and well-structured courses.
Dislikes
- The weather in Tucson is brutally hot, summers can be tough to deal with, since it's a desert.
- Felt like there was a shortage of experienced faculty in some departments after 2023.

- Campus life at UofA is vibrant, and there's always something happening. The sports clubs are excellent; I actually represented the UofA in table tennis, which was a fantastic experience. There are plenty of other clubs across different interests, and the best part is the university genuinely encourages you to start your own club if you don't find one that fits.
- There are lots of events throughout the year, especially welcome and orientation events for new students, plus regular fun events that make it easy to settle in and meet people.
- The sports facilities are among the best I've seen, well-maintained and accessible to all students. The research facilities are also strong, with good labs and resources to support serious academic work, and the libraries provide a solid study environment.
- Overall, the campus strikes a nice balance between academics, research, and an active social and sporting life.

- HEC has two campuses, one in Paris, France. another in Doha, Qatar, which can be helpful if you are looking for roles in middle east as they have a huge network there.
- It has a library, a gym, various sports grounds, and a lake. HEC hosts an international MBA sports tournament where business schools across Europe come to participate. There is a small medical room with basic services and a couple of doctors but it's not nearly enough. They also have a couple of psychologists that you can get counseling from, which is great.
- Indian Festivals like Holi and Diwali are celebrated prominently by clubs along with Christmas, Chinese new year etc. There are professional clubs for almost all sectors.

- Meal plan is not much of useful for international students.
- Lack of bank and finance centre within university

- I found accommodation using university website resources for off-campus housing. We leased it early so it cost us much less compared to market pricing during July-August.
- My monthly rate is around $500. Monthly rates include electricity and utilities. It does not include food and groceries.
- Challenges you'll encounter are a lack of information on ground realities. Location and terms of the lease can be quite annoying, as we would not be familiar with the process.
- My accommodation is close to the university, around half a mile away from the main university area.

- Library is the key heart of every college and Arizona has the largest library in the state, where you can find good knowledge and help for research purposes also. Then, we are talking about sports, then the Arizona wildcards congress into the picture for the Super Bowl; you must support them. They have a tiger as a mascot.

- I haven't got any challenges on accommodation; it is ready to move in when you can find the vacant home on the internet like google or you can connect through fellow students for more information or room sharing if you are comfortable doing that and buy a car for better travel purposes and have some cash with you.

- Hands-on learning approach – the data science program emphasizes practical experience, giving me the opportunity to apply what I learned through real world projects and labs
- Supportive faculty and resources – professors are approachable and knowledgeable, and the university of excellent academic support, career services, research opportunity, please
- Welcoming campus environment - the campus is vibrant and diverse, with a strong sense of community and plenty of student organizations and events that make it easy to connect and get involved
Dislikes
- Elaborate post availability in some semesters - occasionally certain elective forces are not for every semester, which can make planning the ideal schedule a bit challenging
- Extreme summer heat – Tucson's summer can be extremely hot, which takes some getting used to and can make out outdoor activities comfortable during peak months
- Getting an on-camping job is quite difficult for the beginners here

- The University of Arizona has two main campuses in Arizona. The primary campus is in Tucson, where most of the degree programs, including mine, are offered here. The second Campus is in Phoenix and is primarily focused on nursing and health-related programs. The Tucson Campus is well equipped with facilities such as a large library recreational center sports complex and medical services.
- The academic advisors are approachable and genuinely helpful – I have had multiple interactions with mine, and they have always been supportive and quick to resolve. Any questions I had.
- While I haven't actively participated in clubs or Campus fest, I did attend the Tucson festival of books (TFOB), one of the largest and most popular, well-organised events here. It's a major literacy festival that brings together authors, publishers, and book lovers from across the United States. Atmosphere was inspiring, with insightful panels, discussions, books, singing, and a strong sense of community around reading and storytelling.
- Although I haven't engaged much in extracurricular activities yet, the campus offers a wide variety of options, including student clubs, pet classes, culture groups, and professional organisations for those interested.

- The process for finding accommodation is that you have to search for accommodation on the university portal. On the university portal, there are two options for on-campus and off-campus accommodations; you can choose whichever feels right or is in the budget.
- I would prefer going through these accommodations which are offered by (College) itself; staying apart from it becomes challenging because the vicinity is not that safe and people might overcharge you.
- I have stayed in Midtown on 1st, which was quite budget friendly but it was unfurnished and had no utilities like Cooking station, oven, microwave or dishwasher. I have even stayed at Agave 350, which is quite the best because they even provide you gated security for you and the packages that arrive when you order from Amazon. The plus point over here was that it felt quite safe in Agave compared to Midtown. If your budget is quite good, then i would suggest Agave 350; if you have a mid-range budget, then go for Midtown on 1st.

- A lot of events and fairs happen throughout the semester; it is great for networking and having fun while you're studying. We can borrow laptops, books, or any gadgets from the library for the whole semester, so we don't have to worry.
- There are many campus tours that happen at the beginning of the semester.

- Through alumni, we can find good accommodation. Finding roommates is the real task. You can find both cheap ones and expensive ones here.
- Apartments near universities might be comparatively expensive. Campus crossing is a good place to live. Entrada is also a good option. Average $500 per month.

- I find it through some online portals but you can also search for on-campus stays. If you need the best gym, consider any student housing near south recreation centre. North one is not that great.

- Vibrant community and support systems
- Flexibility in course work and work loads
Dislikes
- Domain expert faculties are very few for Data Science
- Career fairs are little to no help
- As it stands (2025 Spring), Data Engineering is not being taught in the school of information for the masters curriculum - which is a hugely important domain in DS

- I used online platforms to search for off campus housing. That and coordination with other students enrolling in the same batch via WhatsApp got me my house for rent. My monthly rent was about $500 for a 2B 1 bathroom house for 4 people sharing.
- One recommendation is to not go for the cheapest residency since the facilities and maintenance may not be up to standard - as we experienced. Also, ensure that the utility bills are kept in check and accounted for correctly.
- Tucson is very hot in summers and unsafe after dark - so ensure you have both bills and safety in check. My current house is a 5 minute walk from campus - and most Indian students live within a 10 minute walking radius from campus. (Although more expensive housing)

- The university offers a wide variety of academic programs and courses in different fields, which lets me explore and choose my area of interest
- I love how there are many on-campus job opportunities that help me earn while studying, making it easier to manage my expenses
- The strong research culture here is amazing - faculty members are always open to involving students in research projects through assistantships
Dislikes
- The University is very big making it very difficult to commute from one building to another, the tram facility helps but sometimes the wait time is too long.
- Since the University is located in Tucson, which is a desert, Summars can get very hot.
- Even though there are a lot of Part-time/ student worker opportunities, it can get very difficult to get a on campus job.

- There is only one University of Arizona campus in Tucson. UofA has the best and most promising facilities; it has huge 3 libraries within the campus and one of them is open 24/7. The main library has a lot of advanced and updated tech like laptops, extension monitors, cameras, etc. that we can borrow and renew every month.
- The libraries have private study rooms, labs, group study rooms, conference rooms, and quiet zones.
- UofA is also popular for it's football team and the football games. It also has an on-campus hospital and also free basic medications available at campus health.

- I Live in a off-campus apartment called which is just 15 minutes away from the university. I found this accommodation after reaching out to previous students on LinkedIn. I live in a unfurnished 4 bedroom apartment and I share it with 3 other grad students and my share of rent + utilities will be almost $500 - $550 / month. It was challenging to find accommodation staying in India and without actually looking at the place in-person and just trusting someone, once we got here we actually felt scammed as we where shown a different unit and the one we actually paid for looked very old and was falling apart. We failed to understand the management was not really good but now we moved into a better unit.
