I did not apply to the U of A for a variety of reasons, but it's a strong program. Nice residents, very similar to the Good Sam program. I'm from Tucson and I have all kinds of good things (and bad, of course) to say about living here. I've been living here off and on for about 17 years and will probably settle here after residency. The main thing is, are you married or in a serious relationship? It can be very difficult for spouses/SO's to find work in Tucson depending on their field. PM me if you have questions.
