Attending Grand Canyon University allows you to take advantage of a stellar academic environment while enjoying the rugged natural beauty of the Arizona desert and the world-class urban amenities of Phoenix. Basketball is the big sport at Grand Canyon, and home games at GCU Arena always fill the student section with screaming fans. The university is heavily invested in making the student experience fun and rewarding, and the campus amenities include a world-class aquatic center, a bowling alley, and a popular game room.
The off-campus offerings are definitely worth checking out as well: Students get discounted admission to Arizona Diamondback baseball games, and Camelback Mountain is a great area for hiking and taking in the breathtaking views of the desert. While Phoenix tends to be more of a driving city, apartments near campus tend to be quite affordable, allowing you to find a place to live within walking distance of your classes.
