Hassayampa Academic Village

Hassayampa Academic Village is one of the newest dorms on campus and it is apparent through its overall appearance. The exterior of this dorm complex is very modern and almost resembles the outside of a museum. The actual buildings are very tall compared to some of the other dorm buildings and the complex is comprised of eight section halls: Acacia, Acourtia, Arroyo, Chuparosa, Jojoba, Mesquite, Mohave, and Verbena. Hassayampa is located in the southern most part of campus and it is located near the Student Recreation Center and field. This allows for the residents of Hassayampa to easily access and go to the gym at practically any time of day. This is huge advantage for Hassayampa's residents because it allows them to work out daily and we all need exercise when trying to keep the "freshman fifteen" off. The rooms for Hassayampa are indoor which allows people to leave their doors open unlike those who live in San Pablo or Mcklintock. This is seen as a positive trait about Hassayampa because people who live here seem to make a lot of friends on their floor. Hassayampa also has lounges like San Pablo, but they are much large and have vaulted ceilings whereas San Pablo’s lounges have regular sized rooms. The lounges in Hassayampa also have couches, cooking stations, flat screen televisions, and even automatic shades that go up or down with the push of a button. Hassayampa is home to students who come from various colleges. Hassayampa is home to students from the following colleges: Mary Lou Foulton Teacher’s college, W.P. Carey School of Business, University College, and even the College of Liberal Arts. Many students that I have spoken to say that Hassayampa is also a great living environment because many activities take place in or near the complex.
