Allow me to introduce myself... 

Hello! My name is Sahil Arora, and I support the University of Arizona's international engagement efforts. Based in New Delhi, I have spent 11+ years in higher education, traveling extensively across the US and connecting students with global opportunities. I hold a Master's in Professional Accounting from Australia. Outside work, I enjoy watching informative videos, gaming on PlayStation, playing outdoor sports, and spending time with family.

What is your favorite thing about the University of Arizona? 

My favorite thing about the University of Arizona is the energy — a constant buzz of diverse cultures, fresh ideas, and bold discovery. Surrounded by cutting-edge research and students from across the globe, you feel genuinely part of something bigger. It's an environment that pushes you to think, grow, and innovate.

What is your best advice for a prospective student? 

My best advice: start early — research programs, sample plans, and department research to find where you'll truly fit, not just rankings. Once here, get involved immediately: join clubs, attend events, connect with professors and peers.

What is your best tip for college success? 

Step out of your comfort zone! College is about more than grades — join clubs, get involved in your dorm, and connect with classmates; those relationships make campus feel like home. Also, visit professors during office hours and ask questions — building that rapport opens doors you won't expect.

How does a student know they've found the right college fit? 

A student knows they’ve found the right college fit when they can genuinely picture themselves thriving there. It’s a place that feels exciting yet comfortable, where they feel supported, challenged, and connected. Beyond academics, the right college feels like a community where they belong and can confidently grow into their future.

What's your favorite spot on the Arizona campus? 

My favorite spot is the area around Old Main. It’s one of the most picturesque places on campus, with beautiful architecture and plenty of history. I also love University Boulevard, right next to campus, filled with local shops, cafés, and restaurants, creating a vibrant college-town atmosphere that students enjoy every day.
