Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

I love the college campus it is so easy to walk around and get to where you need to go; except the school is becoming very crowded. I like the college feel the town has and everything ASU has to offer.

ASU is a fun, forward-thinking university. The best thing about ASU is that it's like a small city, so there's really no point in being shy. Since there are so many people, you may never run into the same person twice - so you may as well talk to everyone, because you'll never be singled out as "the weird kid" here. The high student population makes it easy to make friends, find others who share your interests, or just to meet someone to study with. I think our university is just the right size; there are so many different, fascinating people here that you're sure to meet new friends from all over the country, or even all over the world. Tempe, the main campus, is definitely a college town; there are so many great restaurants, venues, and the weather is great - it's hard not to love it. There is a TON of school pride here at ASU, which gives Sun Devils a sense of community even though they may be far from home. From my experience, the most frequent student complaints are that we have to walk really far to get to class. The campus is huge, so it can become a pain; however, with so much space, you can hang out anywhere and not be invading anyone else's privacy. One experience I will always remember is freshman orientation because at the end, all the new freshman got to learn the fight song together, which made us all realize that starting college was not so scary after all; there are thousands of other students in your exact situation, so you're never alone.

This school provides a great education for all. There isn't anything I would change except for the horrible heat and the raising tuition prices! My school is very large, but I know my way around everywhere which makes it seem smaller. People consider this school to be ordinary when I tell them I go here. It is definitely located in a college town. The school's administration does a bad job with communicating clearly. There is a great load of school pride.

A lot of ASU pride in all four campuses. Students here are big fans of sports and so we always wear our ASU shirts proudly to every game. Although sometimes the magnitude of students going to the ASU Stadium can be overwhelming.

I'm happy with my decision to attend Arizona State University. I grew up in Glendale, Az but Tempe is a world of its own. I've had a few courses at the Downtown campus as well, it's nice to get a change in scenery and see what the other campuses have to offer. Our university is not short on its pride, sports events are great gatherings especially when it comes to competition with our rivals from U of A down in Tuscon. The Tempe campus is definitely the heart of the institution regardless of the other three campuses strewn across the valley. Our school competes with Ohio State University each year for the highest enrollment in the nation. Needless to say, there's never a shortage of people which means there's never a moment when a new connection couldn't be formed. My freshman year and living in the dorms holds some of my most cherished memories. You're taken out of your comfort zone and plunged in this whole new world within a world; priceless. Some scoff when they find out I attend ASU but I know they base their preconceptions from old rumors about the partying lifestyle here. There are thousands of successful beings who have walked, are walking, and will walk the vast expanse of this campus. Arizona State University is my university, no regrets.

This may be the most populated school in the country, but at times it doesn't feel so big. Once you start taking classes in your major you seem to be around the same students all the time, and it makes this huge campus feel more managable. Also, all of Tempe seems very supportive of ASU, and everyone seems to have some devil pride!

I was in love with Arizona State the second I stepped on campus and enjoy it more and more each day. Though it is a large school, the set up of the campus is SO convenient with all courses being involved in the same viscidity. The weather is almost always perfect which results in positive attitudes and a positive atmosphere. I have never felt like this university is too large because it is so easy to meet new people, which in turn helps to scale the university down and make it a more personable experience.

Overall, I feel Arizona State is a great university. I attend the School of Social Work on the Downtown Phoenix Campus. The fact this is one of the smaller campuses has allowed me to get highly involved in multiple school organizations such as the Residence Hall Association, Residential Review Board, Undergraduate Student Government, Social Work Student Organization and the National Residence Hall Honorary. This campus has roughly 7,000 students and only 5,000 live in Taylor Place. The Residence Hall is like a large family. Unlike other college dorm rooms, you can control the temperature in your room here, there is also wifi and cable tv in every room.

Honestly, it's easier to think about what I don't love. I love the food here on campus, which is on par with gourmet food. I love the classes, especially the Harry Potter one I want to take. I love the dorms and lounges, with their wide-screen TVs. I love the fact that bowling after 9 is free at the rec center, and that they show movies every Friday. I love that our campus does slightly off-beat but interesting things, like have someone coming in to talk about time travel or hosting cattle drives. I love how everyone on Barrett campus knows everyone's name - we're a small-knit group in a big community. Really, it wouldn't be wrong to say I love nearly everything here. Actually, I can think of one thing I don't love: the price.
