The campus is constantly being renovated! So be prepared to find alternate routes to classes. The finished buildings are fantastic though. ASU has a good library, and is constructing a new dining hall.

As far as the art department goes, the professors encourage creativity - as long as it is done their way. I have received little valuable instruction and am looking to transfer to a school with a reputable program. Art professors are mostly hippies, too old to remember their topic, or just stuck in their ways. Out of 4 classes this year, I had 1 professor willing to sit down and discuss/explain etc. The building is terrible. Very few windows make for bad lighting. Bad lighting = not so good paintings!
