arizona: The ones I've been looking at the most are Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University, and University of Arizona. Academically, U of A seems like the best choice (of course, I'm only going off of what's on their web sites), but NAU is in a beautiful setting and charming community! Although it seems like there is a bigger culture and more music opportunities in the Phoenix/Tempe area. For some more background info, I'm a California resident and a music major (singer), hoping to transfer in Fall of 2010. Any suggestions and input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!|||NAU is your choice without a doubt! It's the smallest of the Arizona Universities so you get a lot of one on one attention. Also, Flagstaff is a small town so there are lots of local bands and free shows. NAU has a great music program and a great education program as well. It's a beautiful campus and you will be able to really get to know your professors. Set up a visit to the campus and see for yourself!! Good luck!
