Most professors at ASU are great. There is, of course, the occasional exception to the rule. My advice is to register for an extra three credit hours each semester, so that, if need be, you’re able to drop a class and still satisfy full-time requirements.

Though some students are occasionally discouraged by the school’s sub-par academic reputation, the lure of all manner of social temptations, or the University’s confounding and convoluted bureaucracy, most discover those feelings to be only temporary. Any student with a capacity for commitment and initiative, as well as a certain social aptitude, can tell you that Arizona State is a terrific environment in which to achieve the sort of growth, both personal and academic, that is expected of a college education. ASU is a large school with a diverse culture and a lot of great people. Students feel that they have met people that have all changed their lives in some way. It’s agreed that there are endless things to do here, and there are never-ending possibilities and opportunities as well.
For many, college is all about breaking away and living your own life; that can be hard if ASU is around the corner from your parent’s house. Still, there is amazing opportunity for growth and learning here, and even if you are from the local area, it’s possible to break away and get caught up in the separate world that lives within ASU. While the Greek life here is nothing to brag about, parking sucks, and the campus police are kind of a pain in the butt, ASU students still have plenty to be thankful for. If you want a place that has what seems like infinite sunshine, the best nightlife and social scene you could ever ask for, and a wealth of academic choices and opportunities, then ASU just might be your school. In the heart of a growing city, Arizona State in Tempe has been a wonderful and special experience for many. As a native of Arizona, I’d long taken ASU for granted. But it’s a great place if you come for the right reasons and pursue the things that you love. It may take a few years to figure out where you belong, so give yourself the chance. ASU is a great place for meeting new people and stumbling, sometimes quite literally, into adventure. I urge you to visit ASU and see for yourself, and if you are still so inclined, buy the ticket and take the ride.

"ASU has exceeded my expectations. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a school. Visit campus if you can. It’ll be worth your while."

"I wouldn’t have gone anywhere else for all the tea in China. Then again, I’m not a big fan of tea. Regardless, opportunities for students are amazing and out-of-state tuition is very cheap compared to most other schools. The education is top notch, especially the business, architecture, public programs, and education departments. The campus is awesome and the staff is very helpful."

"I can’t begin to describe how happy I am at ASU. I don’t think there’s anywhere in the world I’d rather be. I’ve yet to meet anyone who didn’t like it here."

"I’ve always liked it here. I’m an electrical engineering major and ASU has one of the best engineering schools in the country. There’s nowhere I’d rather be. I strongly recommend ASU."
