Arizona State University-Downtown Phoenix Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Arizona State University-Downtown Phoenix? Why?

Kelly

I attend Arizona State University: a school with more than 60,000 students spread out among four separate campuses. Because I chose a nursing major, I was assigned to live in the Phoenix campus dormitory. Unfortunately, Tempe campus is host to college sports, Greek life, a wide variety of club activities, and volunteer opportunities. The downtown campus makes it hard to participate in such events because they have roughly ten percent of Tempe's club variety. I feel completely isolated from "college social life."

The worst thing about my school is the fact that it is a smaller school. Some would say that it lacks the true "college experience" because there aren't very many students on campus at any given time, and due to its location the weekend life is slightly boring at times.

I did not really care for the online courses. There were a few technical glitches in the blackboard system that arised. Some teachers were understanding, others weren't. One teacher had a link you had to click on to read in order to take the final, but it did not work. I emailed her, but I have an overnight job. I had to leave right afterwards. She emailed me saying I would have to take the test again that night. When I emailed her back explaining that I had work, she just gave me a failing grade on the final.

The only bad thing that I find about my school is the lack of motivation that some students have. I am very enthusiastic about what I am doing, and I enjoy the courses I am taking. I love a challenge. The fact that other students are only trying to "get by" is frustrating to me. The choices you make during college affect the rest of your life. So work hard, stay in school, and give it your all. Mediocrity gets you nowhere. Students attending the university need to find something they are passionate about and stick to it!

There is a lot of partying but you dont have to get mixed up in it. Just stay focused and get involved with school sponsered activities and you wont have any problems.

My campus's pride and joy is the Cronkite School of Journalism. This school offers those students more opportunities than any other major. I am a Criminology and Criminal Justice major, minoring in Socio-cultural Anthropology. I feel as if we are the overlooked major. We are offered no expert advice and hardly any guidance. I would like to see more Criminology speakers and planned activities, allowing us to network and broaden our horizons.
