I love it, huge campus, can makes so many new friends, the sports are a hit or miss for winning but fun to watch, weather is great, off campus areas are nice to relax and shop in, so many things offered which is so great. It is a good place to explore for the first time, which is usually what college students do.

Arizona State University-Downtown Phoenix feels like home, it might not be the same but somehow I don't feel as distant as I think I will, I am not there yet but i've visited once or twice and I just know that it's a place where I will thrive and live my best colleague experience, the community is incredible as well as the number of restaurants there is to explore, It looks easy to make friends and I am willing to have new experiences.

My dormitory at the ASU Downtown Phoenix campus is unfortunately the most enjoyable part of me being here. I share the floor with a bunch of other residents who make it a point to meet every month and facilitate study circles. It may come across as a meaningless touch, but it has even helped me settle in comfortably among the people here. I have no complaints about the culinary offerings – I have made the habit of going to one of the dining facilities which features a pasta corner which is probably not the best idea but absolutely delicious. The campus itself is great. I really like how the library has study areas which are so comfortable that I often devote hours on end into my studies without even realizing it. The gym has also come in handy for me in terms of maintaining a good level of physical activity. I take a pretty intimate biology class where my lecturer actually remembers my face and calls me by my name, and once, after class, he’d spare a few words from his schedule simply to clarify my queries about graduate courses which I genuinely appreciated. Another point that I appreciate a lot is the possibility of going around the city straight from the campus. Just around the corner from the premises is my favourite coffee shop which has the best chai lattes. In this regard, I frequently go for a leisurely stroll to that place after my lectures in order to unwind and contemplate. All in all, the factor including school, its surroundings, and the place of the city has assimilated ASU Downtown Phoenix as a locality where I can genuinely consider it home. It has enlightened the space where I can advance, both as a student and an individual.

I went to school in Arizona since the fifth grade and I will say ASU is so much more than what the state promotes. ASU has so many different opportunities to take advantage of and we our have some of the top programs in the country for multiple different majors.

  6. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    When I was deciding where I was going to attend college, I knew I wanted to stay in state. I had already made up my mind to be a nursing major so I saw four options: Arizona State University, University of Arizona, Northern Arizona University, and Glendale Community College. I chose ASU since I was able to move out and start my own life but I was only a twenty minute drive from home. I also loved that I was going to be on the smaller downtown campus of a much larger university. ASU felt like home since day one.

  7. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I wish I would have known how expensive it is to live without any further financial help from my parents. My parents helped me pay for what needed to be paid for after scholarships' assistance ran out, so they told me that from there, I was on my own financially. I soon realized that taking on a part-time job would be very helpful and prevented me from having to be solely dependent on the cafeteria for food as I was financially able to eat out every now and then.

  9. What's unique about your campus?

    For reasons I'll probably never understand, my grandfather (who raised me) managed to impress upon me a love of knowledge and a passion for learning. What better place to go for both than college? Arizona State has also provided me countless opportunities to learn outside of the classroom. The experiences I've received during my time in college, which I've been fortunate enough to share with people I've come to care strongly about, will remain with me for life. In that sense, my education will never truly end.

    The downtown campus is more business associated.

This campus is pretty mellow and down-to-earth at times but is still connected to the main campus as a whole.
