| - HELLISH HELLISH SUMMER WEATHER (March thru October)
it hurts my lungs to breath.
I couldn't get transcripts because I had a parking ticket I needed to pay.
The problem is... *i DON'T OWN A CAR, I don't drive, I don't even have a drivers license*!!
~*~*-- aside from that one minor incident,~*~*
I paid 9000 USD a semester to receive a so and so education.
I graduated with a magna cum laude. I have attended other universities. However, I couldn't help but notice the gap in the quality and variety of classes offered.
For example, you have to be a finance major to take upper level interesting finance classes.
Business school was so and so, a lot of repetition.
Very little hands-on and help with internships.
Way too much groupwork and free-riding.
They do not have many good employers at their semi annual recruiting events.
Oh, and professors rarely teach the courses.
They have their teaching assistants teach us.
Also, there is a lack of bridging classes between lower level and upper level classes.
Junior year when you get admitted into the "professional program" the level of the classes and transition isn't too smooth.
The campus tutoring program is pretty helpful for general classes if you're having trouble with classes (usually lower level)
There are not enough chairs/desks in some classes.
The students sit on the floor and cram on the stairs in the lecture halls.
Also, the classes don't teach you how to think critically, which I think is crucial in college.
Please don't waste your money, especially those of you from out of state. Its not worth it.
Expect to wait in line wherever you go.
ASU accepts way too many people.
It would prolly accept my cat and my baby sister who barely talks if we threw money at them.
Thus its very difficult to get myself into the classes I need.
The advisors are walking advertisements of the business school.
They are not informed enough to advise you.
I got dropped from two required prerequisite courses so I could not move on to the next level.... even after pre-registration.
I got screwed and ended up having to take one more semester to graduate.
Tuition rose from 6000 a semester in Fall of 2003 to 9000 + in Fall of 2007.
Gross!!
One thing I liked was the student theatre performances. The admission $ was reasonable and quite entertaining.
The College of Architecture and Environmental design studios are pretty good and has good security.
ASU is not the most safe neighborhood.
I have been approached by many shady people.
do NOT live on campus. Especially the dorms on north campus.
They are beyond crappy and overpriced.
You have to split your room with a room mate in most cases for undergrads.
The "freshman year experience" bullsh*t they pull on you, don't buy it.
and Please PLEASE please don't move into Manzy Hall (Manzanita; 15 stores with triangular windows).
I lived here my froshy year and its the dirtiest (rats), unhealthy (mold, pot circulation), most promiscuous place on campus.
Again, please don't bother wasting your money, especially if your an out of state or international student.
Hope this helps.
