ARRIVING TO TUCSON

We know that moving your student to college is a big step full of excitement, questions, and maybe a few mixed emotions. Whether you're driving across town or flying in from across the country, we want you to know that you're not alone in this transition.

Tucson is more than just a place your student will study, this is their new home away from home. Our team at Parent & Family Programs is here to help you feel informed, supported, and connected every step of the way. This site offers practical moving tips, local insights, and answers to common questions, all designed with families like yours in mind.

We honor the trust you’re placing in us, and we’re committed to supporting both you and your student throughout this exciting journey. Welcome to the Wildcat Family, we’re thrilled to have you here!

Bear Down!
