REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingASU's Downtown campus feels more like a group of business buildings than a college town. I personally prefer this over the layout of most other universities. It is near several different types of public transportation (ASU's inter-campus shuttle, metro bus stops, and the light rail).
Rebecca from Glendale, AZ
You can learn whatever you want.
Andrea from los angeles, CA
They use the blue light system
Sophia from Morton, PA
Experience professors give hands on experiences from the work and accomplishments they have done.
Keyana from Glendale, AZ
It is busy environment. It has a helpful faculty and strong resources. The people are polite.
