Where can I buy things I'll need when I'm at school?
The Village of Oak Creek is just two miles from the campus. You'll find a grocery store for your snacks and toiletries, and an outlet mall (with Gap, Bass, Tommy Hilfiger and other shops), as well as several good local restaurants.
Weekend trips are also offered to a Super Walmart in nearby Cottonwood, as well as trips to Flagstaff (Target, shopping mall, downtown shops and restaurants).
At least twice a month, a school bus will take students to Phoenix where they'll have a broad selection of actvities, as well as shops, malls, and restaurants.
