It’s statistically huge but I didn’t really feel it when I visited on a Friday. They go with the divide and conquer method which helps.

Yeah…the campus is pretty liberal though (hippie)…ugh…freaking lesbians that use their free speech rights waaayyy to much.

Yes, Tucson is HOT AS HELL. I live in Vegas which is similar climate and lemme tell you that being closer too the equator amps up the intensity a tad. But I have lived in 115 F summers for 12 years now and its not that bad even with limited A/C. Basically you get used to it but I still burn in 5 minutes without sunscreen. There is low humidity (< 10%) in Tucson + Vegas which makes you feel warm but not miserable.

Yes, Phoenix is America’s ghetto. Tucson is Phoenix’s cousin on the ghetto-ness scale because it is spread out and old looking. But I guess living in ultra-high density, ultra-modern Vegas has spoiled me a bit (super-kmart, super-walmart, 5 grocery stores, countless shopping centers all within 10 minute drive)
