Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

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

I believe the worst thing about Arizona State University is the lack of political freedom. Most of the teachers are liberal and try to sway the students on issues, such as healthcare and immigration, that I would rather them keep to themselves.

Arizona State Universiyt is a large university

There are three different campuses; students who have majors centered on one campus will have to travel to another for several classes.

Because of the great experience I had at the school, there is not really anything that comes to mind to being the worst thing about my school. As stated above in the previous question, I had one major issue with a professor. However, this could happen at any major university. I was just unfortunate to find that unhelpful professor at the university I attended.

The worst thing about my school, Arizona State University, is its reputation. It's become infamous as a party school, and while that may be true (granted, as an out of state online student I cannot confirm based on on-campus experience) there is a tremendous breadth of resources for students looking for a more challenging and fulfilling college experience. The school's reputation as a party school is unfair and two-dimensional as it reflects only a small and somewhat negative aspect of what Arizona State University has to offer.

Particular majors are at different campuses far away from eachother in the valley and are not offered at other campuses. For example Journalism, Nursing and Pre-Law are all at the Down Town campus but most of the students are at the Tempe campus. We can not take that many journalisn, nursing or pre-law classes at Tempe because they're not availible and we must drive there for class. Aueronotical engineering is at Polytechic Campus far away as well. And you can not take non art history courses unless you're an art major. (no art minor)

My least favorite thing about ASU is the party population. Many of the students aren't at the school to learn and achieve, and these people often drag down the reputation the school has.

David

From what I've been able to gather (and I think this is typical of most higher education) courses and prepared by previous instructors and many professors are simply "monitoring" students for appropriate responses to pre-established paramaters. This tends to ensure that derivative thought is valued while original contributions are largely considered outside the purview of class content.

Erica

I do not have any complaints about my school. This is actually the best college experience that I have had thus far. My professors are very motivating, and my academic success coach motivates me when I think things are getting rough.

Caitlin

Personally, I consider the program in the worst thing about this school because it affects me the most out of everything. It really is not what I was hoping to get out of a college theatre program because the focus is more about experimental theatre opposed to more traditonal theatre.
