Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

The sterotype of our school, from what I've heard, is that we're a party school. However I can assure you that is not the case, at least not at Barrett. As a friend of mine put it on facebook: "At any other college, it would be considered weird to turn down a alcohol-filled party for a Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate. At Barrett, it's normal." At Barrett, we're all very dedicated students. Howeve, that does not mean you won't find us goofing off in the lounge: we're dedicated to that as well.

The "Honor student",, sorority girls, the hermit, the jocks, the fan girls, the longboarders, the Frat boys, the partiers, the stoners.

The first thing most people think of when they hear ASU is "party school". Yes, there are parties here, as there are at every college. A common stereotype is that everyone that goes here is a partier. While some people are, I think only a minority of students live up to the expectations outsiders put on us- like partying every single night and never going to class. My classes are usually full everyday, and most of my friends occasionally will go to a party, but it is not a daily thing.

Arizona State definitely has the reputation of being a party school. I think ASU is all about what you make of it. With 60,000 students, there are so many different scenes and opportunities to participate in.

There are a lot of stereotypes about Arizona State students. Of those, the "party animal" reputation is most prevalent. This rumor does hold some truth, but shouldn't define the school. ASU students definitely like to party, and it's easy to have a good time. That doesn't mean that there aren't people who don't take academics seriously. The university is extremely large, so you can basically hang out with any type of person you'd like to.

Arizona State University definitely has a reputation as a party school. While it's true that the students like to have fun with weekly pool parties, barbecues, trips to the Salt River, and Mill Avenue right next to the Tempe campus, the school has a lot more to offer academically. The business school and the design school have some of the top ranked programs in the country. Also, the variety of clubs on campus provides students with plenty of opportunities to get involved and enhance their resumes.

That they dont do any school work and all they do it party. No this is not true at all.

that students party all the time, it's partly accurate but there's a lot of students who don't party

ASU is notoriously known for being a party school. People stereotype ASU as being the school where everyone drinks and girls wear very little clothing. First, the clothing thing is pretty darn accurate considering it is over 100 degrees in the summer. As far as the drinking goes, that is going to be on every college campus. If that is what your in to, great, you will find it. If not, there are tons of people on campus who don't drink and choose to do other things instead.
