1 Perfect climate and nature combination: 350+ sunny days with five surrounding mountain ranges offering year-round outdoor activities—exceptional match for student who loves sunshine and nature
2 Outstanding school spirit and non-commuter culture: 90%+ freshmen attend football games, 75% live on campus, Pac-12 athletics with deep Bear Down tradition—exactly the active social scene and school spirit desired
3 Strong business/marketing programs: Eller College ranked #31 nationally with top-25 Marketing program, 70%+ internship participation, and 85% employment rate within 6 months—excellent career preparation
4 Ideal urban location: Tucson (550,000 population) provides city amenities with distinct campus feel, adjacent entertainment district, and authentic Southwest culture
5 Comprehensive academic breadth: All five interests (marketing, business, pre-law, psychology, pre-PT) have nationally ranked or well-supported programs with strong advising

1 Class size mismatch: Lower-division classes of 50-300 students directly contradict need for 'teacher support and smaller classes'—will require proactive effort to seek academic support in first two years
2 Below-average graduation rate: 65% six-year graduation rate suggests retention challenges; student must actively utilize support services (Think Tank tutoring, academic coaching, Supplemental Instruction) to stay on track
3 Competitive dance team: Arizona Pom Squad is 'highly competitive' with only 16-20 spots—walk-on opportunity exists but not guaranteed; Club Dance Team provides more accessible alternative
4 Distance from major hub: Phoenix is 2 hours away, limiting some internship accessibility during school year, though Tucson itself provides opportunities
5 Party school reputation: Strong drinking and party culture may require navigating social scene to find compatible friend groups, though diverse options exist
