Is the stereotype of students at Arizona State University-Tempe accurate?

ASU has a reputation as a party school. Some students are hardcore party people and others are very dedicated to their studies. I feel most students downtown are more focused on school.

These stereotypes are not true anymore! Back in the day, ASU was notorious for its party atmosphere, but things have really changed. They've shaped up their academic programs a LOT. There's so many new programs and ideas coming to life all the time. Innovation is a new theme here. The students are much more driven to suceed than to drink beer. Yes, there still is a lot of partying going on, but not everyone gets involved like they used to.

Yes.
