My older D is a rising junior who is at UA on the presidential. She is a nerdy, straight-edge non-religious introvert who is majoring in CS. She has found some other people in her major who she shares interests with.
UA is big enough that your kid should be able to find their tribe and be happy. If your tribe is blond, rich, sorority girls who want to have fun and go to football games for four years and have BFF’s forever, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. If your tribe is nerdy, beautiful brunette CS girls who are GDI, the tribe is smaller, but still there.
She’s spending the summer interning at Qualcomm in San Diego, so don’t worry about UA’s academic creds-theyr’e there if your kid takes advantage of them.
I agree with others that the advising is a joke, and my kid is pretty much self-advised. The Qualcomm opportunity was through a UA-based information board (the name escapes me). If your kid isn’t an expert with coursicle and degreeworks, then make sure they are. On top of that, teach them how to lean on the right people in advising to get what they want. Those are good skills to know.
