it's hard to find things to do and people who are interested in the same things as I am. if you are interested in greek life and partying then it's easy to find things to do but if you aren't then it requires a lot of effort to find anything

The worst thing about my school is just how expensive, and costly it is to be on campus. All universities are expensive, but I feel like ASU charges you every chance that they get. My money is extremely limited and it's hard to attend a school that tries to suck me dry of my money every chance that they get.

Arizona State University is one of the largest universities in the country. Finding yourself in this community, locating your classes, feeling that it is so vast and impersonal can be a large concern for many students and parents too. But Arizona State University has taken the insight to break the ASU experience into small classes, split up campuses, ( west, downtown, east valley), and matched students to advisors to make the transition easier for students and to assure parents that this is not a large, we don't care about the student, experience.

Worst thing about my school is the weather. It is very nice during the fall/winter. But very hot during the spring and summer semesters.

The worst thing about ASU is the negative connotation it has for being a less-than-serious place to attend college. There are so many brilliant, kind, motivated people studying at the school and it's unfortunate that their commitment to education is shrouded by a rowdy reputation. I've found that the school is quite progressive in it's programs, technological infrastructure, and commitment to innovation. The staff members genuinely seem to care about each student's success despite the massive student body. If you have the will, you can find the way at ASU.

The worst thing about Arizona State University actually at first seemed to be one of its most impressive features; ASU is astoundingly huge! For someone who's spent his entire young life in the suburbs, the sheer size of the Tempe campus is awe-inspiring. However, I have to say that the novelty does tend to wear off when your classes are 10 minutes apart and halfway across campus.

I am an online student living in another state. I find that there are alot of activities on campus that I would like to partake in yet I am unable to because I am not there locally .

The pitifall of ASU is that there are not enough study locations for students open late at night. The coffee shops on campus all close early and the library fills up very quikcly, espeically during finals time. The coffee shops need to stay open later on campus to allow for students to not have to leave the safety of campus while studying late at night.
