Monsoons can get crazy in AZ because when the street and such were built, people didn't realize it does rain here, so the drainage system is non-existent and almost every street flodds. Also, because of the "stupid motorist" law, if emergency people have to pull you & your car out of a wash that floods, you'll be required to pay for the rescue . Harsh I know, but people should read the signs. Monsoons can be really nice, and the electrical storms we have are amazing . Just be careful. I have lived in Tucson my whole life, and although it's nice and comfortable (with all my friends here and all) I do want to move. I don't think there's enough to do here, so I'd like to move to a bigger city, but not Phoenix cause it's even hotter there and there still isn't a beach. People moving to Tucson though, have to be careful. It's kind of like a black hole. Once you're here, it's very dificult to leave, and if you do make it out, a lot of people tend to come back. Not that it's all bad though. There are some very nice parts about it, it just gets old after 22 years.

As long as u know how to drive in the rain u will be fine (although many arizonians DONT know how to!!!) Also, be sure to look out for fallen trees and stuff, since alot of things fall down during monsoon season!

Hi Girls! I've lived in Tucson my whole life-19 years- and will be starting my second year at the U of A in the fall. For those of you who know Tucson pretty well, I went to Catalina Foothills high school. Those four years weren't exactly the greatest-that school is very hard to fit into! Anyways, I'm rushing in August and am very excited, but also getting nervous!

Catalina!
Small world. My ex boyfriend and another close friend went to Catalina. But that was in the 80s, so...much older than you.

Amycat, you're thinking of another school. Tucson has a Catalina High School and a Catalina Foothills High School. Confusing, I know, lol. Catalina Foothills has only been around for about 7 years.
I lived in that neighborhood while attending high school and I had to be bused to the neighboring school district because the high school hadn't been built yet. Aaaargh. What a pain in the butt!

Another question to my fellow Arizonians (or Arizonans) that I have been wanting to ask! What is up with the rivalry between Arizona and ASU? Just wondering! No badmouthing the other school!

No kidding!!!! There was a really bad monsoom in Fall 2000 my Freshmen year and I was driving down the 202 and all of a sudden there would be a car two feet infront of me. Seriously AZ'ians need to learn that when it rains you must turn on your LIGHTS!!!
By the way ASU Gamma Phi here.

I just wanna say welcome Sam! I'm a senior at the UA and I hope that you're looking forward to recruitment! You went to Foothills....I know a bunch of people who went to school there though they're too old for you to have known. Although one of my rushee's last year (when I was a Recruitment Counselor) had gone there...she'd be your age too...Anyway, GOOD LUCK!

Who of A?
There's nothing like a healthy rivalry to make things fun.

I'd be all about a GC AZ get-together. I don't know about driving down to the brown dustbin for it, though.
I go to ASU. I'm a former member of greek-life there. If you want to know the story on that, I'm sure it's on GC somewhere.
Go Devils!!!
