| We can't help you. What and see if you get into honors, if you do, go to ASU. If you don't, try to get a better idea of what majors sound interesting and decide on that basis, as well as by evaluating the financial aid each offers. |

| I am out of state, and from seeing both the campus' I would far rather go to UofA than ASU. U of A is in a better city, with a nicer campus, and just feels like a more reputable college. | |

| Tucson cannot compare with Phoenix, you may make an argument for U of A's campus being somewhat nicer, but Phoenix is better than Tucson in nearly every way. | |

| Phoenix isn't nicer- TEMPE is nicer. There's not a whole lot to do outside of Tempe.
In my opinion, I'd prefer to go to U of A simply because it's a nicer campus and there's more desert, so more outdoor activities.
If you are worried about academics, ASU honors has a better reputation than U of A honors, but you should be fine at either institution- they're not great, but they're not The University of Grenada; however, if you're really into the sciences (including computer science), go to U of A- it's by far more superior. | |

Downtown scottsdale - museum of contemporary art, boutiques, restaurants, bars

| ^ True, but on a student budget, Scottsdale isn't all that affordable.....
And downtown Phoenix isn't that great..... | |

| There's plenty of affordable things to do in scottsdale, you just have to find them.
And even if its somewhat fancy there, its still a better option than whats around Tuscon.

| from what you say...it sounds like YOU would rather go to UA. and i think you should. they are known as the "better" school, yet definately know how to party! (dunno if your intrested in that, but you dont always have to be in the party scene if you chose not to).
UA has better reputation of academics.
hopefully you chose that! | |
