Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

I wish that I would have known how to go about finding the right grants and scholarships.

Before I came to this school, I wish I had known how hard it really is to make friends. I thought since its one of the largest schools in the country it would be easy to make friends but I have not made as many friends as I had hoped and am having trouble meeting new people.

I wish some one told me how vast it is and to really utilize my sources.

I wish i would have known about the many scholarships, help and student only learning work shops that the school and community has available, only now have i discovered this so my advive is to take the school tour, take the school seminars on starting collage and pay attention becuase there is so much information there that can help you succed.

I wish I had known that it was neccessary to be involved in as many school activities as possibe in m high school career and continue those activities in my college career. The more involved students are, the more of a college experience you will gain. The more involved in the school comminuty you become the more succeptable you are for better opportunities such as scholarships, job offers, internships, and so much more.

how much studying is required

I wish someone had told me to be open to any and all new clubs. The best thing to do as a freshman in college is to become involved, but not too involved that it causes issues with schoolwork. Being involved also opens up more opportunities for you and your future.

It may seem like common sense, but to expect feeling lost. It's your first year in a big school, and you don't know the majority of the student body. But one way you can get to know people is to join a club, or to start your own.

"Don't stress" freshman year is really fun, and it's ok if you don't declare a major or you switch your major. Just be aware that if you do switch your major, you will lose all university scholarships.

Nothing, I pretty much knew where I wanted to go and somewhat knew what I was going to school for. I wish the classes were smaller in attendance. ASU is a popular school and many of my friends are going here also, it's nice to have friends close by and meet new ones.

Don't be afraid to talk with your professors, they are there to help in all aspects of life. Also, balance play with your education. Get good grades but also have fun, go out and meet new people. The best parties to meet people are at the begining and end of the year. Don't miss out on the amazing hiking near campus. Camelback and"A" mountain are waiting for you! ASU is for people that love the outdoors!

I wish I had known how important t was to have a good GPA and good standing in my class in high school. I would have worked harder to have succeeded more academically.

How crowded it is.

I wish I knew to get involved earlier and to manage my time better. Arizona State is a very fun place to go, things are always happing. The only thing is, if you do not get involved you will end up falling through the cracks so get involved and new meet people. Also due to the fact that their is always something to do at ASU, you might end up putting school behind. DON'T! Just because ASU is easy to get into, does not mean it's an easy school, because it is not!

That taking a few years off between High School and College would have been very beneficial in figuring out what I wanted to study.

Before coming to this school, I wish somebody would have informed me of how unstructured it would be. Coming from a high school that had rigid teachers and faculty, along with a set curriculum that offered limited choices of classes, I was caught by surprise when I stepped foot at Arizona State. Consequently, I had to learn to manage my time more wisely for I had more homework outside of class than in class. I also learned to become more independent and self-motivated since my former instructors were no longer there to "hold my hand."

Nothing, I absolutely love my university. I wish that I didn't have to pay so much in tuition!

That the different majors don't really get too much of a chance to interact with eachother becuase they are grouped together in classes and in living arrangements as freshmen.

I wish I would have been more familiar with the club and sports opportunities.

Not really, it isn't such a big problem, or a big determining factor, the campus is pretty great overall, there is big diversity, its pretty upbeat all the time, I am having a great time here!
