Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

Thw worse thing about my school is the high tuition cost for out of state students and the limited amount of scholarships that I qualify for.

The worst thing about my school is the cost of all the things that need to be used for our classes, such as books, TurningPoint clickers, and online homework. All of these things cost a significant amount of money. Not only are the books expensive, but along with that, many classes require that you pay for online homework. These costs are a very heavy burden and can take a lot out of a family along with tuition. The costs of materials for class are the worst thing about our school.

I think it's over priced. I don't understand how anyone can expect to better themselves while worrying about how they're going to make payments for school. It shouldn't cost so much money to want to better ourselves, education-wise.

THe Worst thing about Universities would be the Counseling/Advisory availability. It is hard when you have many questions and want the one on one time with a advisor to help you decide in which direction you need to be going. There are all types of hours to go and meet with one but it is a really busy place on campus. The purpose for them is to help the students track their way through their College experience. It is a very important step to meet with one and not try to guess which classes to attend.

If you get a class taught by TAs--and there are plenty--beware. It's luck, favoring those with huge egos and little knowledge.

The worst thing about my school is that the language program is hard if you do not have the financial availability or the time to participate in the extra-curricular groups. If you are working full time, most students are full time students with a part time job - if have a job at all - and do not understand the lack of time commitment one can provide. Teachers are also not understanding and ask that you leave the class.

The number of students and clubs makes it impossible to quickly find your niche. You'll never meet a student more than once, and unless you're outgoing, it's hard to get comfortable in your classes.

The worst thing I consider about the school would be how many people are in the classroom. ASU is the second largest student population in the country around 70,000 students are attending ASU and I hear ASU is going to inrease the number of people to attend the insitution. In my chemistry class I had about 400 students in a room, and then my intro to mechanical/aerospace engineering class there was about 250 students.

Most everything at ASU is fine. The worst thing, if I have to choose something would be the cost of attending. The tuition was raised just a few weeks before I started by several thousand dollars.

Honestly the worst thing about ASU is its reputaion as being a bit of a party school, this is just simply because people tend to make certain assumptions, if you want to keep the prestige and be a Sun Devil apply to Barrett the honors college it's very prestigous and a part of ASU
