Exactly, and U of A in particular is a big party school. I went there for grad school and that was a different story, but it seemed like the undergrad courses I sat in on were jokes. And this was already a few years ago.
The out of town parents must be clueless!
No idea at all about the school’s reputation...lol.
Things haven’t changed much. U. of Arizona is strong in sciences. The social sciences are a joke, but the music department is pretty good.
