They are completely different climates. Arizona is basically desert, and Ohio is in winter right now going to summer at the end of the semester. Don’t know if you knew this or not.

Tuscon is a big city, lots to do, and a capital city, meaning you get the politics as well. Athens is a classic college town, beautiful campus. Another thing to consider is the sports, where Arizona has a fantastic basketball team, and a up-and-coming football team, whereas Ohio isn’t as good in both regards.

I don’t know Arizona other than it’s hot and I don’t want to be there (I grew up in a relatively cold area) but Ohio would be great if you go there for either semester, because you get to experience snow and winter (Nov-Mar), leaves changing, as well as summer heat (May-June for second semester, Aug-Sep for first). Ohio looks like a great campus with a homely feel to it. You won’t be needing a car at either place, as others will have cars, and generally you can take the bus anywhere.
