[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually Arizona made a big jump in the USNWR rankings this year and passed ASU.[/quote]

Typically, U of A has always surpassed Arizona State. Arizona is the flagship, while State is the land grant.

Mmm, not really. USNWR Ranking last two year.

U of A: 2018 (124 National; 58 Public. 2019 (106 and 46)
ASU: 2018 (115 and 53); 2019 (115 and 52)[/quote]

I'm an ASU grad from the 1990's, and so I am biased, but Tempe is a lot nicer than Tucson in my opinion.

Also, since Phoenix is a large city (unlike Tucson), there are more internship opportunities.[/quote]

I’m guessing you’re among the 95% of ASU grads who have never spent any time in Tucson. 
Tempe and the Valley are soulless and generic, you might as well be in a suburb of LA. Plus the air pollution is terrible in Phoenix—the sky is brown all winter. [/quote]

+1 on this.  But she's right that there's more internship opportunities in the PHX area.  Raytheon and the U are sort of the main games in town in Tucson.  (Which actually makes it pretty great for aerospace stuff, plus there's also Kitt Peak observatory, and the fact that Tucson is one of the few cities that regulates light emissions in order to protect the U's planetary sciences work and the surrounding observatories.)[/quote]
