U of A Lodging
Located just 2.5 miles from The University of Arizona's McKale Center is Lodge on the Desert. Every U of A parent's home away from home when visiting Tucson. While their son or daughter is happily and busily attending The U of A.
Lodge is close, but not too close. It's convenient and yet enjoys a secluded ambiance and feel. A unique design blend of charmingly historic and newly contemporary. And it's near to anything and everything parents and students practically want and emotionally need while visiting or living in the Old Pueblo.
From your family's very first visit to Tucson to check out The U of A, through new student orientation, to move-in day(s); through Family Weekend(s), to Homecoming(s) and finally to Commencement, Lodge on the Desert is a comfortable centrally-located 'home' base to reside and from which parents may navigate. And it's affordable too!
