The University of Arizona, A Diverse Student Population Maintaining Academic Excellence

Thank you to all the people who follow our blog. We really appreciate it. It makes us motivated to improve our daily posts and come up with things of interest to you. We love comments.
This upperclassman is part of a very diverse student population; diverse in races; diverse in nationalities; diverse in religions; diverse in ages (from 17 to 70s); diverse in majors; diverse in ideology; diverse in sexual orientation; and diverse in interests. There are flags hanging in the book store representing the countries from all around the world that these students come from: from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Central America, and South America. . The university has the largest and most prepared freshman class in U of A history. About 7,300 students make up the 2011 freshman class. New housing is being constructed that will allow the university to add to its enrollment. Nearly 27,000 people applied. Selection focused on diversity and academic standing. The University of Arizona has a large number of students who are part of our armed forces. The faculty is made up of PhD professors from the finest schools in the US like Harvard, U Cal Berkley, the University of Wisconsin, Madison and Columbia. Come here and you will get an excellent education.


A view of A Mountain from atop the parking garage on Euclid. Ample parking is provided in a number of parking structures around the campus.


This church was celebrating its 100th year. When the U of A was 100, the Chicago Bears won the Super Bowl. I saw a girl on campus wearing a dark blue tee shirt that said, "Da Bears." She must be from Chicago. I also saw a Blackhawk hat. This year I was about to receive Holy Communion and ashes right on the grassy field of the campus mall. Most religions are celebrated in the churches and synagogues adjacent to the campus.


A game of Frisbee, an endemic university pastime.


The campus is very quiet, very businesslike. Is this just because everyone is so serious the first few weeks of school? We shall see. From time to time Bill Floore's Blog of Anything and Everything will post reports about the university and campus life. Just part of our service. Make us a favorite.


Composing an aesthetically pleasing photograph has plenty of opportunities on this architecturally diverse and beautifully landscaped campus. My new career takes me to all kinds of interesting places. 


You are going to see the word Wildcat and Bear Down around here a lot. The football team is improving; the basketball teams is trying to get back to its' former glory without Lute; the baseball team has moved to High Corbitt Field to play its' games; the girls' volleyball team is always good, so is the girls' fast pitch baseball team; sports and universities go together. They add a lot of excitement to a campus and bring in many dollars. They provide athletic scholarships. Anyone here will tell you a successful season is beating Arizona State. That's when I'm walking around with my ASU shirt.


Ooooo Weeee!


The planetarium.


The observatory.
Old Main is receiving a facelift.

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning students have their own center.

An interesting shot of the student union.

All sexual preferences are welcome.

We love the University of Arizona.


Why can't I go to the U of A? I'm smart. I'm a "Wildcat." Oh, the grass. You are worried about my potty habits.
