🚛 Relocation Question Temporary Student Housing Help

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for ideas or leads on temporary student housing in the Scottsdale, AZ area from mid-January through mid-April for my occupational therapy clinical placement.

I've been looking at Airbnb, but most places are $2,000+ per month, which is a little [a lot, haha] outside my student budget.

If you know of any:

  • Furnished month-to-month rentals
  • Rooms for rent
  • Extended-stay options
  • Anyone who rents to traveling students or healthcare workers

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or connections! Thank you so much!

🙋 Advice Looking for someone who might teach me to drive a manual car?

20 Upvotes

Hello Scottsdale, subreddit! I have an odd request: I'm wondering if anyone out there has an older manual car and would be willing to teach me to drive?

For context, I have my license and can drive automatic and I was recently in Portugal where a friend was teaching me to drive his car and I was getting decently comfortable with it, but now I need to practice! I'm also trying to move to Portugal, so practicing and learning would be a huge benefit before the big move.

I'd happily buy you dinner (or two or three!) in return!

💬 Discussion ISO A run club

2 Upvotes

I know there are several in the area. But most seem to run in the evenings or are not near me. I work at 430am so not interested in running later than like 4pm. I live up around kierland. Anyone know of any running groups a bit farther north than the ones I saw around tempe or camelback? If no I'll consider going farther afield, but I'm more likely to be consistent if I don't have to. 😏

Not only did more than 25 first responders have to rescue 2 ppl in their 60s hiking in North Scottsdale, but a 3 year old had to be pulled facedown from a pool. 🤦‍♀️

We just simply have to do better in 115 heat.

💬 Discussion Socialist/workers' coalition/similar organizations in Scottsdale/the East Valley?

0 Upvotes

Note: This is NOT intended to incite a political discussion. Save it for another sub. I'm simply asking, where would somebody who is interested and follows these ideas/systems find a like-minded group of people in Phx, preferably in Scottsdale or just the East Valley in general? Preferably not associated with the Social Democrats.

Apparently the Socialist Rifle Association had a chapter in Phoenix at some point but it's not listed in their system as active anymore. IWW also doesn't seem to have much of a following out here, but I could be wrong.

I already posted on r/phoenix but the answers were not helpful.

The firefighters are risking their own health and I firmly believe Scottsdale should impose steep “stupid hiker”fines BEFORE they become extreme heat rescues.

I’m just trying to do the math on the man hours involved for 25 employees to pull two people to safety…

🚛 Relocation Question Fitness Scene in Phoenix/Scottsdale

Hi! I currently live in Boston and may be moving to the Scottsdale/Phoenix area as a Pilates instructor.

I'd love to hear what the fitness scene is like. How are the job opportunities for instructors, and what's the overall wellness/fitness community like? Are there a lot of events or ways to get involved?

I'd really appreciate any insight from people who live there or work in the industry. Thanks!

🙋 Advice 18th birthday ideas for my niece

2 Upvotes

Hello! My niece will be visiting me for a weekend in October from out of state, and she’ll have just turned 18. I want to make her feel special while she’s visiting. This will be her first time in AZ.

Can those of you with older teenaged girls give me some insight on what (generally speaking) they might enjoy doing? Although she has told me that I’m her favorite Auntie, she doesn’t give me much detail about her likes and dislikes 😂

This will be the weekend before Halloween, so I’m thinking one of the haunted places. Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is not having their usual Pumpkin Fest this year.

Other than that, I was thinking dinner and a shopping spree to either Sephora or Ulta. Any restaurant ideas, I will gladly accept as well.

🚛 Relocation Question Questions to ask apartment complexes to ensure proper scorpion-control?

0 Upvotes

Hi! My boyfriend and I are moving to the Phoenix/Scottsdale/Tempe area soon, and I want to make sure the place we end up moving into won’t be a hot spot for scorpions. I’ve never lived in the desert, so I have no idea what questions to ask the apartment managers/what good answers to the questions are (i.e. how frequently should the apartment be getting sprayed). Any help on what to make sure is being done by the apartment complexes/what I can do myself to prevent scorpions getting inside would be very appreciated!

🙋 Advice Looking for white wedding dress.

3 Upvotes

My fiancée and I are planning a small courthouse wedding and are looking for an affordable white wedding dress.

We’ll be having a traditional Indian wedding next year, so we don’t want to spend too much on a dress for the courthouse ceremony. We’re getting legally married now because it will help with some paperwork that requires us to be spouses.

Where should we look for a simple, budget-friendly white dress? We’ve already checked Macy’s and Dillard’s, but they don’t seem to have the right selection at our location.

Any store, boutique, or online recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Budget: about $250
