I understand being concerned for your girlfriend, which is admirable. Have you and your girlfriend considered applying to the honors college? My daughter is at another state school, but the honors college there has given her administration contacts to make the big school seem smaller. @mom2collegekids might have more knowledge of the UA honors program? As been said many times, you cannot control her decisions and I am of the opinion there is not a single “perfect” college match, so this may be a great school for her as well. One piece of advice - if you both attend UA, pick different dorms. That way, you can both have some independence.
