This school has good programs.Quite BrightEnglish
This school has good programs. However, there are too many students and too few administrative personnel. There are 4 financial aid staff for nearly 30,000 students. There are always long lines in the admin offices so be prepared to wait. It is ridiculous. Plus, when I was there they were doing contstruction so the campus was torn up. Overall, it is a fun school to be at.

Question
I transfered from UA to ASU last yearSuper BrilliantChemistry
I transfered from UA to ASU last year for a variety of reasons. To begin with the town of Tucson sucks. The campus is absolutely beautiful, but the town is horrible. I am a science major and the UA science department really is not all its cracked up to be. I actually like ASU's much better. The worst part about UA is the social life. If you want to have one, you must be in frat or sorority. To be in a frat, you have to drink way more than is healthy and basically give up any academic life. Sororities are cool, because I think UA's provide much of the material for the "Girls Gone Wild" videos.

Question
The Creative Writing ProgramAverageEnglish
The Creative Writing Program at the University is the best! Come and visit the campus before deciding to come here. Sports is a big deal here of course, and you have many chances of getting involved on campus!
