Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

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.
