Paradise

Introduction
I love the weather. I’m a big warm weather person, when it gets up to be 110 it gets to be a little hard to deal with but the good point of that is that it stays really warm at night.

Campus Life and Social Life
I love the campus. Its gorgeous – some people might think the desert might be ugly and dry but it’s a really beautiful campus – lost of trees, lots of grass and the constructions kind of a pain but you just have to get used to the fact that its only suppose to be making the campus better. Academics
I usually study a decent amount its the last semester of my senior year so I'm taking a really li9ght load but there are other semesters where I've had to study 5, 6 hours a day for a couple weeks straight. And that’s during the week, but then again when the weekend comes I work so hard that I’m ready to go out and have a really good time. The Communication department is really big – there’s a ton of students in it – it’s a great major if you’re not quite sure what you want to do, its really broad. It really did give me a sense of the kind of field that I wanted to go into just by taking a few classes.

Student Body
I would say that the U of A is a very social school – the reputation of party school, it can be met, it cannot be met. This is a really great school for people who are looking to work hard and play hard. Its great if you can keep up your academics and also manage to go out a couple nights a week. That why I personally love it here so much, but again I knew a couple people that failed out their freshman year, because they just couldn’t balance it. The student body here is kind of homogenous – lost of white kids, lots of blonde girls. You walk around and it’s kind of common to say a lot of people here look the same, but it also depends where you’re looking. There’s definitely, you know a lot of Hispanics, quite a few African American people, quite a few girls that don’t dye their hair, you know, there’s diversity of you look for it but at the first glance the student body does look pretty similar most of the time.

In Closing...
The sunsets here are amazing – when I was a freshman and I had my first day just sitting outside when the sun was setting – there were summer monsoons which are also gorgeous and the sun was setting and I was just looking at it thinking wow I picked the coolest place to move.
