Good on Most Days

The dining halls offer a good variety of home cooked goods and each dining hall has its strengths. All of them offer cereal all day. Pitchforks serves breakfast in the morning and burgers for the rest of the day. The home meal is different every day. The Pitchforks salad bar and deli area are great and the international option every night is usually pretty good. They also offer vegetarian options. Pitchforks has waffle makers set up all day. Hassayampa's dining hall has a sitr fry and their home cooked meals are sometimes better that Pitchforks. They, along with Pitch and Manzanita, offer pizza all day. There are tvs in Hassy. Manzanita has a lot of the same options as pitchforks but its scaled down a bit.

Its best to get a meal plan if you want to eat at the dining hall, otherwise, its just too expensive. But dont get all M&G dollars either. These can only be used at campus eateries and you will never use them all by the end of the year. They dissappear if you dont use them up.

There are a lot of alternatives to the dining hall on campus. There are a few Starbucks, a Burger King, a Jamba Juice, a Quiznos, a Papa Johns, a Dominoes, an Extreme Pita, and Jump which serves asian quisine, a mexican place, a hot dog place, a cafe in Hayden Library, and many other places on the periferary of the campus. Sun dollars, which stay on your sun card whether you use them or not, can be used on and off campus and are required for the laundry room anyway.

Easy to Get Fat!

There is so much to eat just off campus. Chili's, PF Changs, Five Guys burgers, Hooters, Gordon Biersch, and Jack in the Box not to mention the little family owned eateries on Mill. McDonalds, Thai Basil, and Taco Bell cover the east end. Wendy's and Carl's Jr cover the south along with Ihop, Dominoes and Jimmy Johns. A Papa Johns and a new taco place take University Drive, while Panda Express, Subway, Smash Burger, Cupz, and a few other places cover College Ave to the north. And yet, you'll eventually eat everywhere.

Hot. Just Hot.

The fall semester sterts at the tail end on monsoon season but other then that its just dry and hot. The coats dont really come out until Late November or Early December and the coldest by the time winter break is over, spring is on the way. Bring a bathing suit because if your dorm doesnt have a pool, you'll want to use the one at the SRC. Also, bring rain boots. While it doesnt rain often, the drainage is horrible and you'll find yourself wading in puddles for days. The end of spring semester is Hot! Dont put off moving out until the last minute or you'll be sweating off the Frosh 15.
