Review of Arizona State University Campus Immersion
from Phoenix, AZ
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
I feel I have obtained a good quality of education to this point. I like how ASU has “major maps”, which list the classes one should register for in order to graduate on time. It makes planning and registering for classes very simple. The school is also very computer friendly and the ASU website is very detailed and easy to navigate.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Arizona State University – as a 2nd year student this Fall 2009, I have enjoyed attending this university. I especially enjoy the variety of students from, literally, all around the world. ASU has four campuses and I attend the Main campus (also known as Tempe campus). On this campus, you can find buildings that are old, but some are fairly new. The school environment, especially the school I'm in W.P. Carey, makes it conducive for studying. The weather, especially in the fall, winter, and part of Spring, is great.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
There are many locations where one can find a computer and study. I like how some of my professors write the textbook for the class as well. Compared to other universities, it's fairly inexpensive for a great quality of education.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Bring sunglasses! They help blocking the strong AZ sun out of your eyes. Always carry a water bottle when walking to and from classes on campus. Get a little early to big lecture classes, like 10 minutes, so you get a good seat, or sometimes a seat at all. I suggest planning you classes out so that you’re done by 3pm. Try not to schedule your classes with blocks more than an hour in between. It’s better to get your classes done in a set time frame. Schedule your classes very early (They fill up fast).
Apply as soon as you can for financial aid because the scholarships are usually available to the early-birds. As the saying goes, “the early bird gets the worm”
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students should come to ASU if they want to be surrounded by a big, diverse group of people from around the world. Students particularly interested in studying business should come to ASU because W. P. Carey School of Business (currently a student) is ranked in the top 25 in the nation. It's very prestigious and hard to get in.
