Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

it's hard to find things to do and people who are interested in the same things as I am. if you are interested in greek life and partying then it's easy to find things to do but if you aren't then it requires a lot of effort to find anything

The worst thing about my school is just how expensive, and costly it is to be on campus. All universities are expensive, but I feel like ASU charges you every chance that they get. My money is extremely limited and it's hard to attend a school that tries to suck me dry of my money every chance that they get.

Arizona State University is one of the largest universities in the country. Finding yourself in this community, locating your classes, feeling that it is so vast and impersonal can be a large concern for many students and parents too. But Arizona State University has taken the insight to break the ASU experience into small classes, split up campuses, ( west, downtown, east valley), and matched students to advisors to make the transition easier for students and to assure parents that this is not a large, we don't care about the student, experience.

Worst thing about my school is the weather. It is very nice during the fall/winter. But very hot during the spring and summer semesters.

Parking and Parking fees

the cost

The worst thing about ASU is the negative connotation it has for being a less-than-serious place to attend college. There are so many brilliant, kind, motivated people studying at the school and it's unfortunate that their commitment to education is shrouded by a rowdy reputation. I've found that the school is quite progressive in it's programs, technological infrastructure, and commitment to innovation. The staff members genuinely seem to care about each student's success despite the massive student body. If you have the will, you can find the way at ASU.

The worst thing about Arizona State University actually at first seemed to be one of its most impressive features; ASU is astoundingly huge! For someone who's spent his entire young life in the suburbs, the sheer size of the Tempe campus is awe-inspiring. However, I have to say that the novelty does tend to wear off when your classes are 10 minutes apart and halfway across campus.

I am an online student living in another state. I find that there are alot of activities on campus that I would like to partake in yet I am unable to because I am not there locally .

The pitifall of ASU is that there are not enough study locations for students open late at night. The coffee shops on campus all close early and the library fills up very quikcly, espeically during finals time. The coffee shops need to stay open later on campus to allow for students to not have to leave the safety of campus while studying late at night.

I believe the worst thing about Arizona State University is the lack of political freedom. Most of the teachers are liberal and try to sway the students on issues, such as healthcare and immigration, that I would rather them keep to themselves.

Arizona State Universiyt is a large university

There are three different campuses; students who have majors centered on one campus will have to travel to another for several classes.

Because of the great experience I had at the school, there is not really anything that comes to mind to being the worst thing about my school. As stated above in the previous question, I had one major issue with a professor. However, this could happen at any major university. I was just unfortunate to find that unhelpful professor at the university I attended.

The worst thing about my school, Arizona State University, is its reputation. It's become infamous as a party school, and while that may be true (granted, as an out of state online student I cannot confirm based on on-campus experience) there is a tremendous breadth of resources for students looking for a more challenging and fulfilling college experience. The school's reputation as a party school is unfair and two-dimensional as it reflects only a small and somewhat negative aspect of what Arizona State University has to offer.

Particular majors are at different campuses far away from eachother in the valley and are not offered at other campuses. For example Journalism, Nursing and Pre-Law are all at the Down Town campus but most of the students are at the Tempe campus. We can not take that many journalisn, nursing or pre-law classes at Tempe because they're not availible and we must drive there for class. Aueronotical engineering is at Polytechic Campus far away as well. And you can not take non art history courses unless you're an art major. (no art minor)

My least favorite thing about ASU is the party population. Many of the students aren't at the school to learn and achieve, and these people often drag down the reputation the school has.

From what I've been able to gather (and I think this is typical of most higher education) courses and prepared by previous instructors and many professors are simply "monitoring" students for appropriate responses to pre-established paramaters. This tends to ensure that derivative thought is valued while original contributions are largely considered outside the purview of class content.

I do not have any complaints about my school. This is actually the best college experience that I have had thus far. My professors are very motivating, and my academic success coach motivates me when I think things are getting rough.

Personally, I consider the program in the worst thing about this school because it affects me the most out of everything. It really is not what I was hoping to get out of a college theatre program because the focus is more about experimental theatre opposed to more traditonal theatre.
