Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

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

Lauren

I think one of the worst things about this school is the belief that it is a "party school", when in reality not all the students on this campus party that much. However, kids come here thinking that's all students do here.

Often, because of the large amount of students and the extreme diversity, people disagree on things and it takes a lot of time and debate to get things done. There are so many points of view, and so many times there are too many chiefs and not enough indians.

I think the worse thing about the school is the parking. There are times when I had to drive around for a while for me to find a parking spot. a few times I recieved a ticket for parking in an area that I was not supoosed to park in. I would rather do that instead of being late for class and missing something crucial.

Size, big classes,

I think the worst thing about ASU is the reputation it has as a "party school." As a pre-medical student, I chose to come to ASU because of the many opportunities the school offered, including research, multiple hospitals and internships. I was very impressed with the Phoenix metropolitan area, but I was disappointed to discover that many students consider ASU to be a party school where drinking is the only pastime. I know this overshadows the truth about this university, because I definitely have to work my tail off to earn my grades.

Next year, freshmen will supposedly be forced to live in campus. If this policy is actually enforced, it would be a major drawback for many students. I am paying my way through school without financial aid. I know I could not have afforded dorms and tuition. It would also prevent students from living in appartments or renting homes.

ASU is the largest school in the country, so it can be rather intimidating. If you get involved with your major's school or college, though, like I have at the music school, the size of the rest of the campus does not really matter, and you still get that small school atmosphere with a large school's resources.

Christina

I think the wosrt thing about my school is the reputation it has earned as a party school. ASU is more than the label that preceeds it. A small portion of the population attending ASU participate in that activity, it just sad that, that is what wins the attention.

Katie

It's too big to be an intimate learning environment.

I loved it! I can't think of anything I didn't like.
