I am involved in the Barrett Honors College, a prestigious honors program that allows students to explore their major in depth with required research and individual help from a professor of choice. The program gives the opportunity for growth and expansion of knowledge that will be beneficial in the real world, like searching for an occupation. The honors program also includes a mandatory class known as The Human Event for freshman, a seminar that allows students to voice their opinions in a small group setting and read, comprehend, and discuss philosophical literature; for example, Socrates, Plato, Lucretius, and the like.

ASU provides a ton of unique opportunities. The school provides enough programs to captivate a large majority of students' interest while the community adds the interactivity anybody could desire. From diverse culture and food, to a flood of activities, students always have something to do. If a student feels the lack of some special activity, they can easily create a club and gain access to many campus facilities. Because of this, what really makes this school unique is how it doesn't leave anybody out.

The coolest attribute my school has is school spirit. Everyone at Arizona State University represents the school with pride and shows their school spirit at the games and events. I have never been to a school like this, it is a lot of fun.

Something very unique about my school is that it has the largest student population out of any other university in the United States. What I like about it is that there are many, many new people to meet, but at the same time it feels like a small community. I end up having some of the same people in my classes and already know people I can work with or study with the first day of class. This eliminates the time period of getting to know a new study buddy every semester in every class.

There are four different campuses to choose from to reach your acedemic goals.

I already knew the campus and part of the staff. I was able to get a lot of help when it was needed and the programs they offer to high school students really are beneficial to adapting to college life.

ASU is diverse, research-oriented, and big enough to accomodate various fields of study, personalities, ethnicities, career choices, etc.

I recently graduated from ASU and I think that it is unique in that the academic advising office is superb. For the amount of students that they deal with compared to other unversities I have attented, this one is by far the best! They are attentive, quick to respond, and most importantly, always give correct information. Other schools I attended were not near this caliber when it came to academic advising. It was a DIY approach, where as ASU is very hands on which is needed during undergrad the most!

It's a very large university so the options that you have when choosing your major are numerable. There are so many different subjects that you can learn and specialize in that it seems nearly impossible for you to not figure out what you want to do with your degree.

It has its own mountain, A-Mountain. Students can climb it or hike it and overlook the entire Phoenix area.

ASU is full of variety and student interaction. It offers student's a great campus filled with enthusiastic professors excited to teach! Through ASU I have found myself and who I can be in the world we live in today!

ASU is HUGE. There is truly something for everyone there, it's just a matter of findng it. Phoenix metro is a growing area, and has a lot to offer students and young professionals. It is possible there to purchase a home as a young adult, where it's less affordable in other cities.

I didn't look at other schools.

Largest college in the USA! Terrific kids and teachers with a true desire to teach and learn! Close to home! Dell Webb is the top Construction Engineering college in the USA!

Arizona State is an incredibly diverse, growing university. Michael Crow, the university president, was recently named one of the ten best U.S. university presidents. A wonderful achievement, but also well deserved, Crow accepted the honor and will hopefully continue to bring ASU up in the ranks of academically competitive universities. I am proud to be a student here. The students and faculty are all friendly and welcoming. As an out of state student, that is a powerful characteristic and one that makes me happy to be here.

There are many types of people here you will meet because it is such a large campus, but I believe it gives you an opportunity to expand your horizons.

i did not xonsider other schools

My school was very close and convienient to get to, which is why I chose it. It also has a lot of extracurricular activities and events.

It has lots of students, large, modern campus. Many fraternities/sororities.

Its in the middle of a vast, beautiful desert.

The location I feel is very unique. ASU is not only located minutes away from many large entertainment areas, such as Scottsdale, Mill Avenue in Tempe, and Glendale (Glendale Arena & Westgate), but also just a few hours from many top vacation destinations. Arizona State is just hours from Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, The Grand Canyon, and Rocky Point Mexico.

The close proximity of the campus - not having to go far distances between classes. It is a convenient and pretty campus.

There are so many opportunities to do everything or nothing. Other schools either had few opportunities or pressured you in to doing many activities.

The weather is almost always sunny, and the campus is beautiful and much more sustainable than others I visited. It was also the school that offered me the most financially. The people at ASU come from all around the world and from every background and it is a neat place to meet and understand people of different cultures.

In Arizona, ASU's business school is excelling; it is also becoming increasingly acknowledged as one of the better Business schools nationally. ASU is relatively affordable, especially compared to many other Universities across the nation, with its In-State tuition around 3,000 a semester for incoming freshmen. ASU also attempts to change its image as a college, the school's new nickname being " The New, American University"; there is a greater emphasis on sustainability, with green buildings under construction around campus, and an attempt to bring the best and brightest of U.S. Students and Professors to its campus.

I chose Arizona State primarily because I got a very nice scholarship offfer, they had one of the best journalism programs in the nation, and it is close to my family. Other schools offered different opportunities and insights but when it came down to it, I had to weigh those things that were important to me and ASU fit all three perfectly.

For my present situation, ASU is really my only choice due to it's location, although it has an excellent earth and space sciences focus, along with engineering, which is also ideal for my chosen major.

The College of Design of Interior Design at Arizona State University is highly competitive--allowing only 28 students into upper division.

I chose this school because I grew up here and wanted to be near my family.

the lifestyle that everyone lives

It's a huge school but for some reason you feel like home when you move into the dorms because you meet people from everywhere!! A lot of diversity here at ASU!!

The most unique thing about ASU is that it seems to be a city within a city. It so so large, that you know if there is something a school should have, they have it, whether it is a sport or newspaper. It is a very impressive school where you are sure to come into contact and get to know hundrerds of people by the time you finish. The warm weather is also very nice.

There is a significantly strong emphasis on research.

The climate is much different here. It is 70 +15 degrees most of the year.

One thing that's unique about this school is the diversity of the student body. In every direction you look, you can see people from all over the world. This makes me more comfortable considering I am a native american.

freedom of movement and accessibility to public transportation/urban centers

Arizona State is terrific and just living near the university and getting to know the valley cities better has been a pleasure. I am in my fifth year and I see Arizona as my new home, now and after graduation. I love it here. If you can handle the hot weather (and hot girls!!), then ASU is for you. The women at this school are absolutely amazing, we attract the finest looking girls in the country, it's a well-known fact. Come to Tempe, Az. and see for yourself.

The most gorgeous and clean campus ever.

ASU has over 250 undergraduate programs and has hundreds of classes to choose from. The environment at ASU is exciting with the involvement of students in many activities and the downtown area next to the campus is full of new things to do at night or weekend. Also, the professors are extremely helpful and encourage their students to come by their office with questions so none of their students struggle with the material. I feel ASU provides a great amount of outside classroom help in order to help its students succeed.

ASU is one of the greenest schools in the campus. It was the first university to have a sustainability major, and it also emphasizes sustainability throughout the entire university; for example, students discuss it and do assignments about it in the required freshman class.

How BIG my school is and how BIG all of the intro level classes are.

great school spirit, good dance program theoeretically, warm climate, sunny

My major, Biology and Society is the first of its kind in the county. It is a Biology major, along with philosophy, history, medicine, law, politics, bioethics, and religion. It is a very refreshing major from a typical Biology major.

ASU has classes for just about any field you want to go into, they have 4 campuses in the Phoenix metropolitan area with each campus specializing in certain fields.

I think the new schools that are starting out here such as the school of global studies and the insitute of global sustainability are rare among campuses in the U.S. and I am lucky to be able to be involved with such innovative and important schools.

Compared to UofA I think ASU has more social activities going on. Since it is in a more populated city there is a lot of things going on outside of school.

As I stated above, this was one of the top five dance programs in the united states. They also have the nationally known Sundevil Dancers that perform at Football, Basketball events and represent the school for many civic events. I wanted to be a part of all of this.

Campus really only matters in freshman year, when you are just trying to fit in and find your spot. I don't pay any attention to what occurs on campus anymore and I will be there for a few more years for my graduate degree. Concentrate on getting through school fast so you can earn the money. Your wallet and car that actually runs will thank you.
