<p>U of A is a public ivy-look it up. It gets more money from NASA than Harvard. Also, no school should be judged solely on their test scores, very superficial.
I looked extensively at both schools, and U of A is definitely better. It has a pretty campus, great academics, and a very good reputation. Tempe is cool if you like a big city, but Tucson can have that feel and has mountains.</p>
