-Colleges in Arizona-? -

sorry for such a general question.I m poking my head around at colleges and at the moment (as I m just a sophomore) I m mainly looking at locations that interest me. I ve already looked around a lot at schools in California but know relatively nothing about Arizona. What are the best schools? Particularly for a Liberal Arts degree in Journalism, English or History. Is Arizona State any good ?Any smaller schools? What are the best college towns with cool things to do (art, music scenes etc.)?Thanks~

ASU is a huge school. Although they have the renowned Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, you need to be concerned about the quality of education you will be getting at a school with almost 70,000 students. Its in Phoenix/Tempe, the fifth largest city in the country, so don t worry about not having much to do.University of Arizona is about 40,000 and has the only medical school in Arizona. It is a much more research-based university, known for its excellent astronomy and aerospace engineering programs (think Mars rovers). Tucson is only about half a million people I think, and you may have trouble finding things to do on the weekend...Northern Arizona University has a much smaller student population, about 16,000. It is known for having the best education program in the state. Also, it is located in the much smaller, cooler city of Flagstaff. Also, skiing/snowboarding is only a 30 minute drive away :)

Particularly for a Liberal Arts degree in Journalism, (Your words.)The Walter Cronkrite School of Journalism.I m in my 50 s and would love to reverse my course and attend this school. Go for your dreams. Change majors if you have to. Trust your gut. The world needs different talents for tomorrow than it does for today.
