The University of Arizona is located in Tucson, a city of nearly 1 million inhabitants, 45 miles from the US border with Mexico. Tucson is a growing economic and recreational center with a multicultural population that reflects the richness of the Southwest. The city shares common borders with three Indian Nations, and is surrounded by majestic desert and rugged mountains rising to more than 9,000 feet. Southern Arizona has more than 300 days of sunshine per year, more than any other region in the US.

Approximately 37,000 students attend the UA, with Jews comprising around 10 percent of the population. In addition to the wide range of activities on campus, students have many opportunities to get involved in the Tucson community. With more than 22,000 Jews, Tucson is home to a thriving Jewish community including a handful of synagogues, a wonderful Jewish Community Center, Jewish youth groups and more.
