How is The University of Arizona different?

During my summer blog series, I have written posts that I hope to benefit the incoming MBA students here at Eller MBA. When my family and I first moved to Tucson and I started Eller MBA, many of our colleagues, friends and family throughout the US often confused The University of Arizona with either Arizona State University or University of Phoenix. I could see how these schools are easily confused because they have very similar names and even share the same state. Add to that the fact that Arizona’s geography is not as widely known as say California or New York, we have a recipe for confusion.
