University of Arizona Top Questions

When you step off campus what do you see?

Michael

Campus is in island. It is beautiful, but once you leave you see poor quality roads, cheap restaurants, really bad houses, and just a low-income part of town. When you get off the freeway on Speedway, it looks awful. The city is not well kept right outside campus. It looks like a dump, to be quite honest, if you're just driving in. The campus is a beautiful walk, but the perimeter is murderous.

Tucson is kind of a small town, so finding stuff to do can get a little challenging. However, if armed with your trusty ID (legitimacy optional but encouraged) take a nice stroll down 4th avenue. It has some, um, unique clothing stores and tiny restaurants with the BEST BURGERS EVER, and best of all, no fewer than seven bars all within fifteen minutes of each other, and you can end your bar-hopping with a San Francisco-style ride home. No driving necessary!
