鈥淭his school is the most student-focused academic institution I have ever attended,鈥 says a happy 3L. Faculty members 鈥渢ruly care about their students鈥 and 鈥渁re available constantly.鈥 In the classroom, professors 鈥渕ake every effort to make the classes interesting and enjoyable,鈥 and 鈥渢he small-section format during first year allows students to build a relationship with at least one professor.鈥 鈥淭hey encourage discussion before and after class and are more than willing to provide letters of recommendation and reference.鈥 鈥淭hey are approachable, friendly, and most even greet you by name as they pass you in the lobby or going to and from class.鈥 鈥淢ost are around campus all day and not just available during their office hours.鈥 鈥淚 e-mailed my property professor on a Sunday at roughly 10:30 p.m., with a pretty lengthy question,鈥 describes a 2L. 鈥淭he question was answered at length by 10:45 p.m.鈥 鈥淭he administration is great too,鈥 enthuses a 1L. 鈥淓veryone is very helpful and interested in you getting a good education.鈥 鈥淭he quality of instruction is outstanding, and the responsiveness of the faculty and staff are remarkable. I am so very happy that I ended up at the U of A,鈥 sums up one pleased student.
Some students tell us that the 鈥渧ery helpful鈥 Career and Professional Development Office at the U of A is 鈥渁ctive in helping students connect with amazing internship and job opportunities in both the public sector and in law firms鈥 in Arizona, California, and other Western states. If a student 鈥渋s clear about where she wants to live or what she wants to do, the Career Office will give that student personal attention to strategize a plan to get there,鈥 although some complain that 鈥渢hey don鈥檛 care what job you get, as long as you get one somewhere.鈥
Facilities on campus are impressive. 鈥淭he new building is gorgeous, especially the library. Tons of technology and connectivity. Little things like plugs at every desk and the latest projectors for classrooms make a big difference.鈥 Another student concurs, 鈥淭he classrooms are brand-new and state-of-the-art鈥攊n my Family Law Class last semester we were able to video conference with a teacher in Canada to talk about divorce law without any extraneous equipment. Everything we needed to video chat was in the classroom!鈥

The social atmosphere is 鈥渧ery vibrant.鈥 鈥淭here are thirty-plus student organizations that cover different religious, political, social and ethnic categories.鈥 That translates into lots of events. 鈥 鈥淚 have had so much fun in law school,鈥 gushes a 1L. 鈥淎lmost every day, there are informative and thought-provoking guest speakers, panel discussions, or film screenings, especially during the lunch hour.鈥 Intramural sports are also popular. Social life tends to be 鈥減olarized between younger people coming straight out of college and older students with families.鈥 鈥淭he crowd divides into three groups,鈥 elaborates a 3L, 鈥渢he married/serious relationship/older crowd, the nerds who rarely go out, and those who are trying to extend their undergraduate experience by going to law school.鈥 Without question, if you are 鈥渋nterested in partying, you cannot beat the University of Arizona bar scene.鈥
The U of A campus itself is 鈥渂eautiful, complete with palm trees and a gigantic, ideal student union.鈥 鈥淭he weather is ideal.鈥 The low cost of living is 鈥渇abulous, especially from a student鈥檚 perspective.鈥 If you like outdoor activity, there are 鈥渕yriad鈥 activities within minutes of campus, including hiking, biking, swimming, and rock climbing.
