Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

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

Nicholas

The worst thing about my school is the pressure to drink, do drugs or party. Someone who does or could potentially have a problem with this should not consider coming to ASU

Danielle

The worst thing about my school is how expensive they make everything. From the restaurants to housing to meal plans to the convenient store on campus. Most college students just don't have enough money.

Melani

I consider access to the campus to be the worst thing about my school. Parking around the area is scarce and terribly expensive. There is a light rail that stops near the campus but sometimes the Arizona heat makes this an undesirable choice (especially if you have work after school and must look presentable). The size of the campus and the long distances between buildings also attribute to this problem because it almost guarantees that no matter where you park, you’ll still have to travel a great distance to get to where you need to be.

The heat. I have to walk everyday from one end of the campus to the other and it gets ridiculously hot and sweaty outside.

Megan

The worst thing about Arizona State University--like many other schools at this time--is the rising tuition. Going into my senior year my tuition is about significantly higher than when I began as a freshman in 2007. An "economic recovery" fee for each student seems a little ridiculous when most of us can barely handle ourselves in this economic state , let alone aid our school.

Sara

The worst thing about my school is the heat. It is hot most of the year and walking across a crowded campus in heats above 100 degrees is not fun.

Shawn

Parking has been the worst inferiorities of this school. Poor transportation is a big issue. Parking spaces are extremely expensive and located in the middle of nowhere. Classes are crowded. Some courses are packed with more than 250 students. Teacher assistants have to check student?s coursework and surely they are not competent for instructors? jobs.

Lisa

I didn't live on campus, so getting there.

Manuel

The few professors that are the cause of many students' dislike of learning are the worst thing about this school. I have been reading all literature since I began to read, and to see professors tell their students they are wrong when they ask a subjective question is beyond wrong. The professors' ego has developed into a hard core, probably brought about through years of memorizing works and definitions. This has lead me to believe that they have never truly experienced art, and because of this, the student is either left with less knowledge or a greater dislike of literature.

Samantha

I don't think the school has any worst qualities. I believe the school leaves all the responsibilies up to the student and if there is an issue majority of the issues is because the student did not take the full responsibility to act on their actions.
