Introduction
We are committed to seeing that the people who rent to you are aware of your needs. Although we cannot guarantee what type of living experience you’re going to have, we can require that all of our sponsors attend a minimum of three workshops which educate them on how to better serve you. We are in continuous contact with our sponsors, and have UA students, faculty and staff secretly shop and rate these sponsors at least six times during the year. We do not sell advertising. We teach self advocacy.
The primary purpose of our existence is to serve you as a member of the UA family. To that end we want you to learn how to properly advocate for yourself. The following pages will provide you with the information you need to get started.
From President Shelton
December 20, 2007
Dear Readers,
Off-Campus Housing works diligently within Campus Activities throughout the year to research and advocate on behalf of the students of The University of Arizona. One of the results is the annual publication of the Off-Campus Housing Guide and commuter resource book. This guide is a tremendous resource that offers a wealth of information. I invite you to peruse its contents and take note of its good advice touching on all aspects surrounding living off campus.
We are excited that you are going to be a part of the greater Tucson and University of Arizona community. The university is surrounded by many neighborhoods, each rich in its own history. Most of these neighborhoods have had students living there for decades. Should you choose to live there, you will continue that tradition and become part of its tapestry.
Whether you are living in an apartment or a house, part of the University’s broader mission is to help students learn how to integrate into a community and make a positive impact while they are there. This experience will serve you throughout your life. The university and surrounding neighborhoods look forward to helping you take your first steps in that direction.
Sincerely,
Robert N. Shelton
President
The University of Arizona
