Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

Overall, ASU is the best school in Arizona with the best criminal justice program of all three major universities. Also, out of most schools, ASU does have multiple campuses in very central locations with a good shuttle program.

ASU is the most diverse university I was looking at, the teachers here have connections to voluteer serves, internships and jobs are always willing to help. The students here are so enthusiastic and excited to be Sun Devils. The multiple campuses allow you to get all types of experiences while being at one school.

The school is community based. Everyone supports the school that lives near it. The school has a reputation unlike any other school. The reputation is spread throughout the entire United States. The school is innovative and expanding into new areas. The school is evolving to fit the need of the growing population, community, and careers.

Arizona State University is unique in that it offers an ABET accredited, completely online undergraduate program in electrical engineering, leaving it as my only option for continuing my college education in that field while serving on active duty in the Navy. However I have found that the school's website is very informative, and easy to navigate; and there are more than enough resources - online and otherwise - available to me as a student that I feel I can succeed in my education in this non-traditional format.

The faculty and staff seem to really care about the wellbeing of students.

It had the largest student popualtion in the country. The campus was vibrant and diverse and beckoned for me to attend. I was ready to leave the valley after I graduated high school, but something about the univeristy made me feel like I had found a new home. One where I could tolerate the Arizona heat in exchange for this magnificant college experience.

the location and weather, even thought it's a big school it can be very intimate at times

Arizona State University has an exceedingly large and diverse student body and many interdisciplinary programs. My understanding is that ASU awards more undergraduate degrees per year than any other school in the U.S. except the University of Phoenix . Because the university attracts so many different kinds of students, I believe that, compared to other state universities, one's experience at ASU is what one makes of it. One could study hard and gain a good education or completely devote themselves to campus social life.

Out of the schools that accepted me, this one was the closest to home. It's far enough that I don't have to see my family if I don't want to, but close enough for me to go home in the event that I do want to see them.

What I really enjoyed at ASU is the vareity in almost every aspect of learning. I attended the Honors College which gave me the small and close knit community and class sizes, while the larger univeristy offered expanded opportunities. There is never a dull moment and the surrounding area is ideal for a college town. ASU is a well renowned school now and it still admits most of the students who apply. That means everyone has the chance to attend a great university with great standing in the world.

It is the closest school to my parents.

ASU offered me a great scholarship that other schools did not match, that is why I chose to go to school at ASU.

My school is like a melting pot. There are people with different backgrounds and from different countries. Every person has a different story and is unique in their own way. There is so much to offer at my school and many different things you can get involved in. They have clubs with all types of people and they all are different and bring something new to the table. I dont think many people can say they go to a school like that.

Our school is very large and diverse and well welcoming. Easy to get along , make friends yet serious enough to earn great jobs.

I am used to small schools with very low teacher/student ratios and when I came to ASU the class sizes are very large but the neat thing about ASU, as long as you participate and introduce yourself to the professors, they do an amazing job to make sure they remember who you are, even when they have over 1000 students.

The weather here is never very cold, but blistering hot during much of the fall session. I was already living here in Phoenix, AZ as I started back to school. I began at a local Maricopa Community College and they have a automatic acceptance into Arizona State University if you have attended the Maricopa Community colleges. ASU is a public school with a world reputation. It is not cheap, but one of the least expensive public universities. paying out of state tuition was not an option for me.

I attend the Herberger Institute of Art and Design. The most unique thing about our school is the competitiveness of the programs. They only accept 30 students per year, and once you are in the program... you take the same classes with them through graduation. The sense of comraderie is strong within each studio.

Easy to get in, hard to get out.

Arizona State University has created a new vision called The New American University which increases access to its educational resources and works with communities to positively impact social and economic development. ASU provides free tutoring sessions as well as an abundence of honor programs such as W.P. Carey School of Business and The Barrett Honors College.

ASU is what you make of it. For serious scholars, join the Barrett Honors College, which has the feel of an Ivy league school all locked away (literally, non-honors students cannot get key-cards to enter the complex) from the rest of campus. But to satisfy your extracurricular needs, you can venture to the rest of the campus to find anything you could possibly imagine.
