Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

Stated earlier, 1/4 together, 1/4 somewhat together, half totally lost. Thats my statistical guess

Students come from all over. That is it. I do not have much to say in regards to the student body. People are people.

At ASU I don't think anyone would feel out of place. There are so many different groups of people that interact with eachother in and outside of class. People of all different racial, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds can be found at ASU and they all interact with each other in some way no matter how different they may be. Politics is a pretty big thing on the ASU campus and you can find a mix of political parties present. There are students who are very left wing, there are students who are very right wing, and there are students who fall somewhere inbetween the two, and a lot of the times students with different political views are good friends.

One of the most diverse, and best-looking crowds.

I like how ASU is like a salad bowl, there are many races you get to know and understand. I like how it is multi-cultural. All studednts interact with each other.

ASU is very large and has a very diverse student body. There's a place for everyone.

I don't believe that there is a big divide between students. If anything, students don't get to know everyone because of the sheer size of the university and also because of the different areas that students frequent. The only student that would feel unwelcomed is the one that sections his or her self away from the rest of the student population.

There are various races and religions on campus. Everybody comes from different economic backgrounds, it is a very diverse campus. A student who was really concentrated on school work and strict academics should probably attend another university. Most students wear shorts, jeans, t-shirts, tank tops to school, its usually very hot. People are usually comfortable amongst people who are similar to themselves, that causes them to stick together. However, diverse activites or events may cause interaction that may not normally happen. ASU students are literally from everywhere. Some people are very wealthy and some people are using all the grants and aid they can get. The financial status is very diverse. There is not four tables that could describe ASU's student body. Students are definitely concerned about how much money they'll earn one day, its on almost everyones mind. Students are politically aware but that doesn't include everybody a lot of people dont care and are more wrapped up in their own lives.

There is a good variety of ethnicities, though some tend to stay within there own groups for some reason. There seems to be a lot of students coming from upper to upper middle class families. I don't think any type of student would feel out of place, the school is large enough so there's someone for everyone. People wear causual clothes to class.

Lots of clubs but I didn't participate so I wouldn't know.

Engineers do talk a lot about how much they'll earn one day. In the entire campus there are people from all over the world and of all types. Everyone gets along and no one feels left out. When engineers hang out for lunch we are all just engineers no matter what you look like or who you are. Every political spectrum is also represented.

Demongraphically, the student body is fairly representative all all races and statuses. You will find at least 3-5 religious evangelists holding court along the main outdoor walk each week.

I think everyone is pretty good about not being racist and everything but and group of students is always going to have their cliques. A lot of girls wear pretty much nothing to class, and we have to look and their rolls hanging out its gross. There are a lot of rich kids at ASU that are not taking their education seriously and its really annoying. I wish they would pay for a kid to go to school who actually wants to learn. No one really talks about their lives after ASU.

I don’t really know anything about the student body other then they are very competitive!

Religous acceptance is very high, LGBT acceptance is great in the honors college but I don't think so about the rest of the college for the most part. The overall student body is amazing, very cool and incredibly good looking.

I'm not really involved with the student body, I unfortuantly work 20 hours a week and don't have time. I have friends in the sororities and they say that they have fun hanging with their sisters and brothers.

I think the campus is socially diverse. There are students from various countries as well as economic classes. Everyone and Anyone fits in.

what kind of students would feel out of place at ASU? i don't know that any student would feel out of place - it's a pretty diverse campus, and very welcoming and accepting. what do most students wear to class? whatever the hell they want. and nobody cares what you're wearing, either. do different types of students interact? yes and no. i see a lot of blobs of similar-looking students walking around, but at the same time you see very colorful, heterogenous blobs too, and you never feel weird talking to someone who's different from you, or surprised if someone different from you talks to you. where are most ASU students from? arizona, seems like. but then there's also a lot of californians and east coasters. then it's maybe chicagoans and seattleites. coloradoans are few and far between... what financial backgrounds are most prevalent? i'd say, middle of the road for the most part - not primarily wealthy, not primarily poor.

A lot of informal religious speakers draw crowds here and there on campus. They are particularly annoying because they shout at the tops of their lungs and hold their Bible's high in the air. I'm Catholic, I'm a very religious person, but these people really irritate me. There are people from all over the world! You hear so many different languages, just walking between classes, and you see so many different faces.

Their are many Christian groups on campus at ASU which often work together, praying under a tent on campus and talking to anyone who stops by. No one could possibly feel out of place at ASU if they look for organizations they are interested and meet people who are like them. Most students like to think they know a lot about religion and politics but are rather aloof.

NIce student body and great place to make friends

I think there is a good diverse group of people at ASU. Most of the kids here are from Arizona, but there are a lot of kids from out of state as well. While we might not be the most racial diverse campus in the country, I think the ideals of the student body are very diverse. Just walking around campus a student can see groups of people who believe in all sorts of causes and can approach these people to learn more about what they believe in and what they are trying to teach other people about. The great thing is that learning about other people's beliefs is completely voluntary on campus, so if you want to hear about what they are saying, you can walk up to them and find out, and then if you decide you don't agree you can have a lively discussion or you can walk away. Either way, everyone has their chance to speak out and make their opinion known without anyone's feelings getting hurt or belittled. I think the great thing about the student body at ASU is everyone seems to be passionate about something, whether it be politics, Greek life, sports, education, finances, religion, or any other topic, you can find people who are just as passionate about your cause as you are.

I think unfortunately that Honors students feel a bit out of place at ASU. The general population is not really that academic. There is great diversity though and that is great. There is diversity in race, political orientation, country of origin, socio-economic status, and personality. Most students are partiers it seems and not that serious about school. There are politically motivated students but protests and what not don't seem to attract much attention.

Arizona State University offers possibly the most diverse student body in the country. It was satisfying to me that ASU offered a medium, for any racial, religious, LGBT, socio-economic group on campus, to express their beliefs and opinions in a civil way. I really do not believe that any type of student would feel out of place at ASU. Due to the great weather, students wore summer clothes most of the year. The great thing about ASU's student body is the level of diversity.

ASu has a great mix of cultures and sub-cultures and I appreciate that. Many students are not from AZ and that is also great so that we learn about people from other places.

RACE, RELIGION,AND SES ARE TALKED ABOUT IN EVERY CLASS!!! I think people wear what they feel comfortable in to class. Some people dress skanky, others conservative and some in their Pjs. 4 tables in the dining hall 1. Sorority sisters- They speak loudly and talk about the hottest new fashion and who they slept with the night before. 2. Frat boys- They watch sports on the TVS and use each others cards to get free meals. 3. The Party People- They are just getting home from a night of partying as the dining hall opens. The eat, skip class, and go to bed. 4. The Christians- They pray before their meal and pray for yours too!

ASU is big enough to have a clique for everybody, and there are a lot of international students because it is comparably affordable. Although more conservative than a lot of universities, it's more liberal than the rest of Arizona. We have had big political events that bring out lots of students, such as the final 2004 debate between Bush and Gore, but overall students are not very politically active. Financial backgrounds run the gamut from people putting themselves through school to dumb rich blonde girls, but ASU is trying to encourage more underprivileged members of the local community to attend, and they give lots of scholarships. One recent controversy involved a new state law denying illegal immigrants in-state tuition, even people who came as young children and have been very academically motivated. ASU tried to find private donations to keep these kids in school, which was cool, but we don't know at this point how successful it will be.

What are your experiences with racial, religious, LGBT, socio-economic, and/or other groups on campus? The exist, and host a variety of programming, in which I have attended some events. · What kind of student would feel out of place at ASU? It is hard to feel out of place with this many people. · What do most students wear to class? Anything ranging from pajamas to suits. · Do different types of students interact? It would be hard not to, but yes. · There are four tables of students in the dining hall. Describe them. Again, way too many dining halls, way too many students to even worry about looking at them to describe them. · Where are most ASU students from? Arizona · What financial backgrounds are most prevalent? I have no idea, but we have our fair share of rich people. · Are students politically aware / active? Yes, like most liberal arts institutions. Are they predominantly left, right or center? Too many students to not have a mix · Do students talk about how much they'll earn one day? I haven't heard one person mention that in three years.
