I am also moving to Tucson for GCU's Nursing program. Have you figured out your housing situation yet?? I just visited Tucson this past weekend to look for apartments.

Hey! Yes, fortunately my best friend has a cousin I know that will be renting me out a room for now. I was in the same boat because I'm moving down from Phoenix too. I don't have any family over there either so I was so happy that worked out. Its a little south of Tucson though.. I was looking at apartments too, around the school it didn't seem to be that great of an area.. from the reviews. I hope you do find one! Hopefully more students will get on here too and maybe you could find a roommate! I would have loved to find a classmate to be a rommie with but I couldn't wait that long.. I like to be prepared lol

Did you get a required book list yet?

I just moved from California to Phoenix, and now Phoenix to Tucson. I did find an apartment that was in a much nicer area about 10-15mins from the campus. But I'm looking for a roommate, which is turning out to be a lot more complicated because GCU can't give out info about each other. And I know what you mean. I want to be prepared, too.

I haven't gotten a required booklist yet; I have to renew my GCU info from when I finished my 1st undergrad degree.

Thanks for the reply though! I'm sure we'll meet up in Tucson really soon :)

It would be so nice to have a roommate study buddy! I might need a new place in the Spring if nothing else comes up. I got the e-mail today about 8/8 the open house so yay we will all get to meet and I'm sure other people will need roomates. Seems like there will be a few people coming down from Phoenix. I sent Darlyn an email today about the books and she sent me a link to Evolve that has GCU bundle packs-- So idk. I know for Spring 2015, they just gave out a list which is what I was hoping for so I could just buy them all elsewhere for cheaper..Plus I have a few of them already that I don't want to have to buy again in the bundle.

Yes to the study buddy! haha, I know from experience you cannot survive nursing school without a study group. So, I'm all for it! I rec'd that email about 8/8 as well. I was hoping it was going to be a little earlier so that we could talk about the housing thing, but it's ok.. haha. I'm excited to meet our cohort!

Do you think you can forward me the link to Evolve? I've been waiting for IT to reopen my username/pw for the student portal/loudcloud, but it's taking awhile. I have a Facebook in case you want to just direct message me there, instead of this public site lol. My name on Facebook should be Maybelle Concepcion; it should say I graduated from GCU and I work at LabCorp.
