Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

I wish I could have met more diverse people befor going to school. Being a minority and being only around people of my race and religion growing up. Going to ASU was a big culture shock.

Nothing - ASU is incredible.

I wish I had known how fiscally taxing the city and University were before jumping into my first year.

I wish I had known how hot the summers can be, that it is truly a blessing to see rain there, and that there is not a lot of grass around.

I wish I would have known how shallow students would be. What clothes you wear, how you appear, what cars you drive are all very important here. If you aren't wearing the latest fashion or stick skinny sometimes you can "get down" on yourself and feel sub-par.

I wish I had known more about how to succeed well in classes. I had to figure it out on my own my first semester how much more study I would need to do.

I wish that I had known what I wanted to major in because I probably would have been a lot more focused my freshman year.

That there would be people like me who were serious about school, had well-defined career goals and weren't there to party. My freshman year I felt so alienated by my alcoholic roommates that I stayed in my room almost the entire year. Joining the Residence Hall Association saved me - and kept me from dropping out of ASU. I made lifelong friends in that group and am proud of the success we had in our events and advocacy!

I wish I would have known exactly how large it was. I always realized it was big but it is very hard to make friends or become comfortable with certain people because there are so many people.

How hot it is in the summer .
