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

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.

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.

Iowa > Arizona humanities, creative arts (esp. writing)
Arizona> Iowa STEM (esp. engineering)
Arizona=Iowa everything else.

Both good schools in good locations.

If you had to choose between these two schools which one would you pick?
