My experience at ASU was disgusting. All my classmates were extremely unfriendly. There were no social interaction and no sense of community at all. I went to art school for painting, and the teachers didn't know how to paint properly well. I was forced to write tons of essays instead of learning how to paint. I felt that my time and money were completely worthless and I hated being graduated from this school.

Benefit of a large university and all the resources, with many opportunities for individualization and not feeling like "just a number."

Great central location in a warm climate. Plenty to do, and a decent cost of living. I enjoyed my four years of study. Wish I could have stayed much longer.

Your Overall Experience *

If a friend asked whether ASU was worth it, what would your gut say?

Did classes challenge you and leave you feeling like you actually learned something?

Considering tuition, aid, and what you got out of it, did the cost feel justified?

Professors and Faculty *

Were instructors accessible, engaged, and invested in students or mostly going through the motions?

Campus Atmosphere *

Did the campus feel welcoming and full of energy, or more like a place you simply passed through?

Student Housing *

Were dorms and residence halls somewhere you'd want to live, or a constant source of frustration?

Campus Safety *

Did you feel comfortable walking around at night, or did safety ever weigh on your mind?

Student Life *

Was it easy to find your people, make friends, and stay socially connected?

Party and Bar Scene *

Do weekends have a pulse here, or does the social scene quiet down once classes end?
