Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

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

Stephanie

Food is the only bad part I can really think of. For a small communtiy college with a small budge, the food for on campus housing isn't very good at all. The food isn't enough to keep me from returning to the school but it is a factor when I talk to people about the school. The only other problem I see is that because the campus is so small drama streams through the housing very quickly. Everyone knows everyone else's business.

The worst thing about my school is the overall undergraduate population, with an average enrollment of 54,000 students it can be very hectic trying to maneuver through large crowds of people especially when they are riding bikes, boards, or carts just to get to class and the large 200+ class sizes .

The worst things about Arizona State University is mostly their interent problems, advising and over crowding the school. There are thousands of people within the college and it is very hard to get around campus cause of the amount of people. More and more people are coming. Since there are some many people on campus, ther are extreme internet problems. Wireless is the worst and is down all the time. When people try to get help with the internet, it takes several calls and days. Not all advising such but some just don't know what they are doing.

Sydney

The worst thing about my school is the fact that they don't have a lot of open availabilty for different classes. My first semester I have heard of students telling me that there were classes that they needed to take but couldn't because it conflicted with other class times. I didn't believe it until I went to sign up for my classes and one of my classes was completely full by the time I had the chance to even look at it.

The worst thing about my school would most likely be the Parking and Transit Services department at Arizona State University. I believe the prices they charge students to park even far away from classes is completely ridiculous. In some cases, students have to walk more than a mile to class, while paying $300 for a parking pass! It's like another form of taxation. I believe parking rates can be made much more reasonable for students wh are already floating part or full time jobs in addition to their studies.

I consider the worst thing about our school to be the amount of drinking and drugs. If those students put as much time into studying as they did drinking they would be genius's.

Lauren

My school sometimes has a reputation for not having the same academic opportunities as other universities. I disagree with this statement, and I know that I am receiving the same education as some of the most prestigious colleges in the country. I find that the reputation, however, is the worst thing about the school, and I wish that the university could lose that negative rumor.

Joana

The worst thing about Arizona State University has to be that everything is so over priced. The food in the cafeteria is extremely expensive for a college student to afford. Not to mention that tuition keeps going up which makes it even harder for us students to afford tuition/books and also the food that they have to offer on campus.

Melissa

The worst thing would be that since it is so accessible to the public, sometimes the ASU Police are not capable of maintaining order or being everywhere they need to be.
