U of A is generally regarded as a better school educationally. And, Tucson is definitely a better location than Tempe. Although both of these locations are very hot much of the year, Tucson is usually a few degrees cooler and less humid! Also, Tucson is a better organized city than Phoenix -- less traffic congestion and generally prettier and easier to deal with. There is a nice mix of students, working people and retirees. You can have a comfortable four years at U of A if you are willing to go to a school that is dominated by people from Arizona, consists of a lot of very large buildings with very large auditoriums filled with very large classes, and is not exactly Harvard!
My personal opinion is that you would be a lot better off at Penn State - a much more highly respected school than any of the Arizona schools. They're big, too, but they have higher standards and would be cheaper and better respected in your home territory.

U.S. News ranks University of Arizona #98 in National Universities and notes that it is "More Selective," while it ranks Arizona State as a "third tier" school" that is just "Selective."

It doesn't matter if the school has a medical school; all the premed classes are intro science classes, and are offered at pretty much every 4-year college and university. You will not be taking medical school classes in undergrad. So you can go just about anywhere. U of A is better overall, but ASU is still pretty good so if it's cheaper to go there, go there.

ASU. You do NOT want to live in Tucson. That place is a horrible nasty dump. You would enjoy Phoenix much more. Trust me.
