Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

Before my attendance at Arizona State University as a freshman, I wish that I had known that we have a lot of time on our hands . Maybe this is tipical for first year students but of course I will soon find out by sticking around the campus. I work off campus nearby and really enjoy what I do because I feel like I'm just hanging out having fun. My involvement with high school activities are being directed towards work. I wish I had known that I was making a great dissision working away from school to releave homework stress.

I wished I had known how big the campus was and how expensive parking was. When I started taking class I found out that every department has there own tutoring, by grad students and it is free. That their we so many ways to get help, really different from community college.

How to manage money

Before I left my parents home to go to college I wish i had been more prepared on how to manage my time wisely. Unlike high school, college professors expect a lot more from their students. Each student is responsible for their ownself. Prioritizing a class schedule, working a part-time job and making the right choices for your future is difficult to learn on your own so far away from your family and friends.

I wish that I had known how hard yet fulfilling it is to be on my own and away from home. It is great to learn how to be independent and be able to fend for yourself. Another thing that I had wished that I had known were all of the different things on campus that happen and the all of the different clubs that we have on campus. It is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are a freshman.

1. I wish I had known there was so much politics involved in all of the schools 2. I wish I had been more conscious to the fact that universities are still buisnesses and will try to suck as much money out of you as possible 3. Residential life is a sketchy buisness and doesn't care for students 4. To make sure you STUDY from texts starting the first day of class if you want A's! READ READ READ! 4. Don't buy meal plans. 5. You don't really have to live on campus as a freshman

To have taken AP level courses at high school. I also wish i knew that community college could had been an option.

ASU doesn't give you scholarships even if you have a 3.6 gpa just because you're not strait from high school. They make it very hard for married working adults to achieve their academic goals. Too Expensive, a total rip off.

i wish I would have known that each campus will identify with each person individually, providing varying perspectives. People will react to a campus differently based on what nurtures the interest of the prospective student. This aspect would have given me a more comprehensive idea of what to expect and that would make up my freshman year experience. These aspects would have also helped me in learning more about myself.

I really love everything about the school, I would have liked to be more involved school programs as it seems to be a great place to meet new people. Other than that I can't think of anything that I wish I had known prior to enrolling at ASU. The campus is beautiful and everyone is happy and friendly. I really have no regrets about coming to ASU.
