Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

These stereotypes are accurated in someways but inaccurate in others. The fact of the matter is that any college you go to there are going to be parties, at ASU there's sometimes parties every night of the week, most of them hosted by the fraternities or sororities. But who's to say that we're not going to school at the same time? ASU has over 63,000 students and I think its safe to say that most of us are there for an education, but at the same time we enjoy being able to relax and have fun from time to time. As for the "Barbie and Ken go to college" stereotype, yes there are a lot of good looking people who attend ASU but that doesn't mean that they don't have brains. You can't get into college based on looks alone.

I can't say it isn't true.

To a certain degree, yes. I personally haven't experienced any crazy partying but it's most definitely encouraged. But that doesn't stop people from going to class and getting things done like they should. And yes there are definitely a lot of fake white girls here and the black people are pretty scarse, but if you go to the right functions, you'll have plenty to interact with :)

Yes. Most people can say so.

There are a lot of sorority sluts and frat gym monkeys, but there are plenty of other students. I do feel ASU just cares about money and publicity.

I don't think ASU is any more of a party school than other colleges. Yeah, there are a ton of parties, but there are parties at every college. If you're into that scene, you'll definitely find what you're looking for, but there are so many other ways you can spend your time if that's not your thing. There are so many different kinds of people, that you're bound to find others with similar interests, whether that be partying or other activities.

Every school in the nation has parties but I think ASU ends up taking the rep of being a major party school. However there are alot of other schools, beside ASU, that party alot more than ASU. Even some of the local community colleges party harder than ASU. So there are a couple of parties but I don't consider ASU to be a major party school.

To some degree

Any school could be a party school, it just depends what you involve yourself in.

no, we have one of the best comm programs in the country
