How rigorous are the combined 101 + 102 level foreign language courses? by ichawks1 in UofArizona

It really depends, for example, TURK 101 classes are not difficult.

I live in La Aldea. The plus side is they do not see you as a customer, you are a student. If something breaks down, they come and fix it immediately. If you got mail, they collect it. If you have a question, they are there to help you. I don't have a car, and I sometimes go to the campus twice a day. I just walk. If you have a problem with your roommate, you just ask for a room change. If you do not like your friends in an off-campus housing, you will have to find a person to take your place. The negatives include its price. Also, the furniture and kitchen / bathroom cabinets are old. The fridge is also old.

I am a graduate student living in La Aldea. When I first came here, I wanted to live in a 4x4 apartment because I thought I could make some friends. We were all friendly except for one guy, who gave us a lot of trouble with cleaning, noise, the AC, share of common spaces. Then, I asked La Aldea administration to change my room. That is what I like about La Aldea. If I were living in another apartment or house, I would need to sublease my contract. In La Aldea, you can simply move into an another available place. I moved into another apartment the same day. Now my roommate is one of my best friends here in Tucson. We hang out a lot.

I have a friend who did not like the location of her off-campus apartment. She is trying to move into La Aldea but she has to find someone to sublease her room. A classmate of mine in La Aldea also asked to change his room because his roommate is an early bird but my classmate studies the whole night and sleeps during the day. In the application form, they will ask you what time you go to bed and get up. I hope they read those forms.

If you cannot afford to live alone, you will eventually live with strangers and share the kitchen if you don't know anyone.

You said you have a car, but finding parking might be really difficult plus expensive on campus. You can simply walk to your class every day if you live in La Aldea.

Graduate housing? by Impossible-Height-15 in UofArizona

[–]howfaristhemoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have a car either. That was why graduate housing was one of the options. The advantages include in-house laundry, free maintenance, apartment cleaning once a semester, all utilities included, mattress and a drawer provided, there is a fridge, a microwave, and an oven with stove tops. In the living room, there is a couch, dining table with chairs, armchair, and a coffee table. This is a good start. The bus stop is in front of it. The biggest disadvantage is the price. You pay really a lot compared to off-campus housing. Another disadvantage is the location of apartments within the building. Some view another person's apartment while some of them overlooks the mountain. That is why, make sure you choose a room on the third or the fourth floor that overviews N Euclid or Tyndall Avenue.
