There are stereotypes of a party school. This may be true for some but a lot like me would like to learn as well.

Common stereotypes of students at ASU is that all we want to do is party; that is totally inaccurate. People think that students just come here to go to parties and drink all the time, which is really not the case! I know many ASU undergrads who are completely focused on their studies, pulling all-nighters to get As on their exams, and cramming at the library all afternoon. ASU isn't as much of a party school as most people think it is... there are so many of us who just want good grades!

The common stereotype of ASU is that it is a party school. That isn't entirely true because the people I associate myself with are solely focused on getting good grades at school.

People say we are always partying but that isn't true. There are a ton of people who, obviously, do party and that is alright as long as it doesn't go overboard but it still happens because that is life. And then there are some who go to ASU to get an education and don't necessarily like to party hard but I think that everyone deserves to get distracted and have some free time once in a while.

It is safe to say that a general stereotype of Arizona State University is that the University is a "Party School." This is an inaccurate general stereotype that gives ASU a bad reputation. Of course, if you are looking for the party life, you will have plenty of opportunities to find that, however, if you aren't interested, in no way do you have to par-take in that life style. There are plenty of other amazing things about ASU that are sometimes looked past, which is unfortunate and no student looking into ASU should stop their interest due to this stereotype.

At ASU the students are considered to all be partiers, and drink a lot and are not very smart. Although there is plenty of partying here, that is not all ASU is about for all the students. There are plenty of intelligent students that go here.

Asu has a reputation of having a lot of frat kids. This is true, but there are a wide variety of different personalities all over campus. An advantage this school has is that there are so many students, so the people on campus are incredibly diverse.

Arizona State is definitely known as a "party school", however the second I got here I was pleasantly surprised with what I was encountering. Arizona State definitely has so much more to offer and slowly but surely I truly believe we are being recognized for all of the hard work our students and staff put into our education and their jobs as professionals. Though you will be able to find parties to attend by Arizona State students, you will more likely be able to find students who truly care about their education, enjoy working hard, and receive recognition where it is due.

A major stereotype about Arizona State University is that it's a "party school". I think any institution of higher education can be whatever a student is searching for regardless of its preceding reputation. We are a top school for engineering, design, business, and a myriad more. Your experience here is what you shape it to be. Greek life is definitely present on campus but you don't have to join a sorority or fraternity in order to "fit in" or "make friends". Just get involved, delve and seek out what interests you whether or not those interests correlate with your chosen major(s).

Students at Arizona State are stereotyped as party people. For awhile ASU was the number one party school in the nation. Honestly, it depends on the campus. The Phoenix campus students are very school focused and professional. The Tempe campus is a plethora of parties from Thursday - Sunday.
