No problem at all! So first of all, I may have been a little harsh on Chapultepec. Its one of the newer dorms and the only thing that sucks is it’s location.

1) A walk from Tenochca to the ARC (aka the gym) is about 12 minutes. Most people jog over for a warm-up then walk back for a cool-down.

2) Living in the residence halls (like Chapultepec and University Towers) would not make you less social. Classes and overall friendliness make you social, not only the residence hall.

3) There are very few events that you will miss due to living away from campus, but there are most likely other events you may attend that others don’t. This is because many of the residence halls put on their own, private events.

4) There is no pool at Chapultepec, however the Aztec Aquaplex is right around the corner. The Aquaplex is a set of pools that are free for any SDSU student living on campus.

5) There is really no difference between the structure of Zura and Tenochca rooms, however Tenochca is notorious for being unclean and nasty (hence its nickname T-Nasty).

6) Overall, the scene here at SDSU is very good, in my opinion. People are just as friendly/ non-friendly here as anywhere else. Many people say we’re just a bunch of white, snobby, rich kids, but we’re actually pretty diverse. Now, our campus is probably about 50% white, but the other 50% (and growing) is full of almost any culture. My floor alone reflects this. If you’re considering not coming because you feel you won’t “fit it”, don’t worry about it. be friendly and you’ll do fine.

I think that answers all your questions, but if you’ve got any more post a message and I’ll try to reply quickly.
