Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Meredith

Don't be afraid to talk with your professors, they are there to help in all aspects of life. Also, balance play with your education. Get good grades but also have fun, go out and meet new people. The best parties to meet people are at the begining and end of the year. Don't miss out on the amazing hiking near campus. Camelback and"A" mountain are waiting for you! ASU is for people that love the outdoors!

Susan

I wish I had known how important t was to have a good GPA and good standing in my class in high school. I would have worked harder to have succeeded more academically.

Brittany

How crowded it is.

Julian

I wish I knew to get involved earlier and to manage my time better. Arizona State is a very fun place to go, things are always happing. The only thing is, if you do not get involved you will end up falling through the cracks so get involved and new meet people. Also due to the fact that their is always something to do at ASU, you might end up putting school behind. DON'T! Just because ASU is easy to get into, does not mean it's an easy school, because it is not!

John

That taking a few years off between High School and College would have been very beneficial in figuring out what I wanted to study.

Luis

Before coming to this school, I wish somebody would have informed me of how unstructured it would be. Coming from a high school that had rigid teachers and faculty, along with a set curriculum that offered limited choices of classes, I was caught by surprise when I stepped foot at Arizona State. Consequently, I had to learn to manage my time more wisely for I had more homework outside of class than in class. I also learned to become more independent and self-motivated since my former instructors were no longer there to "hold my hand."

Kimberly

Nothing, I absolutely love my university. I wish that I didn't have to pay so much in tuition!

Melanie

That the different majors don't really get too much of a chance to interact with eachother becuase they are grouped together in classes and in living arrangements as freshmen.

Charlie

I wish I would have been more familiar with the club and sports opportunities.

Sarahi

Not really, it isn't such a big problem, or a big determining factor, the campus is pretty great overall, there is big diversity, its pretty upbeat all the time, I am having a great time here!
