Review of Arizona State University-Downtown Phoenix
from Glendale, AZ
Describe your college in three sentences.
ASU'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).
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be shy. Get involved in clubs and go to those lame events at civic park. You'll find they're not so lame after all!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Online classes are the hardest. Register as soon as you can, and take as many in-person classes as your schedule will allow.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I lived on my own, so I have no experience with dorm life. But from everything I've heard, it's not all that bad. There's no hazing, the showers are warm, and the wifi is actually decent.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There is a great variety of food, not only in the cafe, but also around campus. From Asian food to Subway, to vegetarian restaurants, this campus has it all.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Like I said before, join a club! Also, the UCENT building used to be a bank, so there are lots of secret passageways if you feel like exploring. On days where the weather is nice, Civic Park is where most people go to study, play games, or just hang out.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
ASU is generous when it comes to scholarships, so for me, tuition was free! The facility is new, so everything is clean and modern.
