Student Handbook - Activities

Sports lovers always enjoy attending Phoenix's major league sports such as: The Phoenix Suns basketball games (ticket information call 379 - 7867), the Phoenix Cardinals football games (ticket info. 379 - 0102) and the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team (ticket information call 514-8400). Tickets for these events are occasionally available in the DeVry Game Room.

With an almost ideal climate, the Valley of the Sun also has health clubs, sports clubs (offering such sports as tennis, handball and racquetball), golf courses and driving ranges in abundance throughout the Valley. Some of these facilities are listed below. Students should look for the location and phone numbers of others in the yellow pages of the telephone book.
