U of A
Definition
A colloquial abbreviation for the University of Arizona, a major public research university in Tucson, Arizona, known for its strong programs in optics, astronomy, and Wildcat sports fandom.
Less commonly, shorthand for the University of Arkansas (Razorbacks territory) or University of Alberta, but in U.S. contexts, it typically points to the desert-dwelling Arizona version.
