The best thing about Arizona State University is its size. Although the size of the campus and the amount of students that attend may seem overwhelming at first, it really isn't scary at all. The massive size is actually a major benefit to ASU. It allows a large diversity of programs, clubs, sports, activities, and academic programs to thrive. With such variety there is something for everyone to join and love. ASU provides opportunities for all students to get involved and to participate in something that they value. Overall, the size is the best part of Arizona State University.

The simple fact that I have the opportunity of attending ASU makes me feel fortuante.

Cody

I believe that the best aspect of my school is its size. Arizona State is one of the largest universities in the country, in campus size (Tempe campus) and student enrollment. This makes the experience here appealing to individuals from all over; with different backgrounds, interests, and personalities. It is very easy to get involved on campus because of this fact. There are many ways to get involved on campus, from student organizations, student leadership, job on and close to campus, study groups, social gatherings, sports events, etc. You can choose exactly the college experience you want.

Shannon

The best thing about ASU is how many other students and organizations there are. With so many options, it is impossible to not find something that you want to explore. Because of this, I feel that my educational experience at ASU will be much stronger. As I continue in my education, I will be able to expand it by engaging in these options.

Melissa

The best thing about Arizona State University is the quality of the education and the abundance of classes offered. I've been able to register for all the classes that I needed and/or wanted both semesters that I've been attending there, and have been thrilled with how interactive and informative the teachers are.

Christian

The Best thing i take into consideration about Asu is the size of the campus, and the tutor assistance groups and organizations that the college provides. i think it is a great thing to have a big campus but also provide support to the students to ask for help and feel as part of the schollas possible.

Rebecca

The best thing about my school is its atmosphere. Within three days of living on campus, I felt more at home than at the house I grew up in. The campus is large, pretty, and always has something going on. The people are friendly and easy to get along with. The teachers are open-minded and want you to succeed. The dorms feel safe and cozy, yet fun and enjoyable. While some might fear that such a large school would be intimidating, ASU has been nothing but incredible.

Edward

The best thing about my school is that it offers students a wide variety of options to help them figure out what career path they truly want to pursue in their lives.

Rachel

I would consider the major diversity to be the best thing about my school. There are so many different majors and so many different ways of living and different kinds of people that four campuses have to accomodate the entire diversity of ASU. Most people would see a large campus as a disadvantage, but I see it as a way of opening yourself to different things like culture or religion or anything else for that matter. Along with diversity, there are also so many different options to pursue such as areas of study and extracurricular activites.

Tami

I think this is a good school for kids who do want to earn their degree but do not want to engage in a rigorous and competitive academic environment. And it's an excellent school for students who would like a plethora of options in places to study abroad.

Steven

I love the campus and the upbeat students and faculty. The sun is always shining here and the students are all in a good mood. Everyone is friendly and open to meeting new people. I really love everything about the school, the campus may be a bit outdated but the technology is all very up to date and students are accomidated for their every need. The landscaping is also beautiful here, palm trees everywhere.

Jarrod

I am continuously impressed by the endless variety of educational opportunity and diversity at my school. There is so much to learn and so many wonderful opportunities to discover so much of what life and learning is all about. My classes are incredible, with excellent professors who demand excellence and demonstrate every day that they are doin what they do because of students like me. That is what I mean by the tremendous opportunities out there. The climate for learning and for growth is truly amazing. I am a lucky student!

Maria

The best thing about ASU is the area surrounding it and the campus itself.

Christopher

The avalibility of classes. There are so many different classes that you can take.

Stephen

The best thing about this school is the student population. You meet a diverse group of people from all of the world, each with different backgrounds and life experiences. Furthermore you meet people who will become some of your closest lifelong friends. The student population is supportive, close-knit, and open to new experiences. The student population as ASU is a cohesive group dedicated to helping each other succeed and grow as people.

Lydia

the variety and amount of options

Katherine

its large size. everyone can find a group of friends just like them.

Constance

The Walter Cronkite School is an amazing scholl for prospective journalists. The school has educated professors who care about the field. The recreation centers are amazing, events on campus are forever frequent, the weather is wonderful, it's a positive environment, and feels almost fake since it's so paradise-like. Jobs are abundant in the Phoenix metro area, and there's affordable housing. There are great restaurants, and a happening night life.

Gustavo

The location. I'm from California so I'm not too far from home. Just a 5 hour drive.

Catherine

The best thing about ASU is the diverse population. Many of the students here including myself are from many different parts of the country, and some students are exchange students. The diversity has allowed me to broaden my horizon, and I think that is crucial in every college experience. Also, since ASU is a big school, they offer almost every program in every field so there is a program for virtually everyone who goes to school here.

Steven

They have a leading engineering college.

Carmen

The best thing about my school is it is much like a community college that allows pretty much everyone who applies to attend. Some people may see that as a fault, but it is better to have a bachelor's degree than an associate's degree or no degree at all.

Jessica

I consider my departpartment, The School of Earth and Space Exploration, to be the best thing about ASU. It is an innovative program and is really seeking to stretch beyond the confine of what has already been done and reach into the future of what could be done. Aside from the cheesy/nerdy allusion, it would be pretty accurate to say that they "seek to bodly go where no one has gone before."

Tammy

One thing I like about ASU, is that I am really exposed to diversity. I've met so many people from different backgrounds/countries that I've learned so much. Even about countries I have never known existed! I also like the idea of bus transportation that takes you all around the city. It's EXTREMELY convenient for students who live campus, as well as students who park very far from campus.

Maria

I would say the best thing is the campus itself. It is beautiful and they also use solar panels everywhere.

Kylie

I think that the best thing about ASU is the ability to be original and independent both socially and in regards to your education. Everyone has the opportunity to take courses that appeal most to them while completing their degree and the advisors are always very helpful in developing the best academic plan for each individual.

Jacquelyn

The variety of majors and areas of studies they offer.

Nicole

ASU is very diverse. There is something for everybody. Being so large it has the sports teams, a great honors college, greek life, and plenty of clubs to join. There is also a wide variety of majors. The fact that it is the largest university in the United States only makes it ideal for any person. The facilities are wonderful and everything from the programs to the buildings are constantly being improved.

Matthew

This is a very large school that teaches its students how to live in a real world setting. you get to meet a variety of different people and can get the chance to live on your own, giving you a true all around learning experience!

Barton

The best thing about Arizona State University is the weather. For eight months out of the year, it is sunny and seventy-five every day. No matter how bad your classes or social life may be, the weather will always cheer you up.

Lizzie

I love the weather!!! It is fabulous to be able to go out and throw a frisbee at midnight! It gets hot in the summer but worth it to never wear a heavy winter jacket!

Chenille

The best thing about my school is the diversity on campus. You may not socialize with some of the other races as much as your but to just interact with them in class on a daily basis is the exposure you need in an intergrated society.

Jenni

The faculty in my department is very supportive and knowledgable. THey have been extremely helpful, and the students all feel as if we are part of a community.

David

The "green" side of the Universities development thinking. I even chose to change my major to sustainability because the school got me so excited about the subject and I knew it was what I came for all along.

Evan

The school spirit.

Kathryn

Its so large that it can be easy to dissapear. And people forget your face the instant you are out of view.

Joel

I think the fact that we offer so many varying degrees and degree programs in a tribute to how committed Arizona is about keeping its students in state and making it affordable to people from varying socio-economic backgrounds. I believe the administration is getting serious about turning around ASU's reputation from a party school to a more academically-focused institution. I appreciate this because this only increases the value of my degree from this institution.

Nicholas

The diversity as well as the universities willingness to prepare students for the workplace.

Shaenyce

I believe that greek life is the best thing. Since I have joined, I have been able to meet many more people that I did before.

Ashley

The availability of new research, the school spirit, the faculty

Emma

I love the diversity of the courses and subjects allowed, especially since freshmen can take many different courses to find out what direction they ultimately want to take. Majors aren't required to be declared until sophomore year, and meanwhile there are many different "tracks" to take that can lead somewhere but retain flexibility (counselors/advisors are always available too). The professors I've had have been great overall, although a few classes seemed rote.

Matt

The friendships made through classes

Joshua

Athletics, Lets face it the worlds revolves around athletics. Its really the only thing that can bring peace, provide entertainment, and give back to communites all at the same time. ASU athletics are overall very good programs and compete at the highest level.

Leigh

The school is huge, population wise, and you will most likely find something to fit your personality.
