UIowa has a lot of Chicagoans, UArizona has a lot of Southern Californians.
Iowa has 33K students on over 2100 acres; Arizona has 45K students on 380 acres. Iowa City is a traditional university town; Tucson is a medium sized sunbelt city. |

| For engineering or physics, definitely Arizona. For English and adjacent fields, definitely Iowa. For anything else, I think it's a location call (warm vs cold; small city vs college town; racially diverse vs pretty darn white). They're both solid, DCUM-underrated flagships. |

Whereas Phoenix has about five years' of water left. I'm sure that'll sort itself out just fine. |
