Sometimes college brochures and recruiting campaigns paint a much lovelier picture of the campus than they should. But that's OK. They're ads for the campus, and sometimes ads... embellish a little.

Students at the University of Arizona, however, get a little more of a rude awakening than the palm-lined brochures prepare them for.

This campus is torn up. Classes are hard enough to find without being re-routed and sometimes misguided across the university.

And there's not enough parking. And it's hot. And it's uncomfortable.

Oh, and 80 students are stuck in an off-campus hotel until their intended homes are built - a delay caused by Residence Life changing plans mid-course.

Surprise, surprise.
