Ha-ha. I wandered over to this forum because I’m helping a young woman with her college applications and she recently was inquiring about U of A and ASU.

I lived in Tucson for 19 years before moving to So. Cal. to go to school. Now that I’m 50, I can say I truly appreciate the beauty of Tucson. The four mountain ranges, the dry heat (yes, I much prefer a dry heat to humidity), the beauty of the desert-all of these things can be found in Tucson.

But I don’t have any desire to live there again and most certainly, I wanted out of Tucson when I lived there. I only went to community college there, so I have no personal experience with U of A, though my sister graduated from there many decades ago.

I appreciate the honest thoughts on both U of A and ASU and will share them with my young friend.
