Very peaceful place, and I have studied at this campus for 3 years. Overall decently cleaned. Some places aren't lit at night; some places aren't properly air conditioned. Some places have an odd aroma (ex; library). Quiet ambiance, and I like the garden. read more

When someone thinks of Arizona State University, they often think of the Tempe Campus and a large school experience. What they may not realize is that while that experience is great for many people, yet others may be looking for a different experience. The ASU Polytechnic Campus is smaller than the Tempe Campus yet it's a community where every student has the potential to feel connected with resources and it is still large enough that there is usually something happening. It's growing as a campus and has transformed from a former Air Force base to a commuter campus to a residential campus in recent years with over 1,000 bed spaces living on-campus in traditional residence halls and single-shared or family houses. Opened in 1996, the ASU Polytechnic Campus was founded as ASU East on the former Williams Air Force Base in Mesa. The newest residence halls Century Hall opened in 2012 while Lantana Hall opened in 2000. The campus has strong partnerships with Chandler-Gilbert Community College and the surrounding Mesa area with the Mesa Gateway Airport right next door. The ASU Preparatory Middle and High Schools are right on the ASU Polytechnic Campus, too. While ASU Polytechnic is the home of numerous academic colleges and programs, they are known for their engineering programs and aviation programs and flight centers. As the campus continues to grow each year, the number of buildings on campus continue to increase. In addition to academic buildings, there are student services available in the Academic Center (home to a computer lab and the library), the Administration Building, several of the Quad buildings, and the Student Union. There is also the Simulator Building and the Technology Center along with residence halls and houses, a dining hall (also home to the Multicultural Communities of excellence and a small marketplace), and the Sun Devil Fitness Complex. There is also the ASU Charter monument. Needless to say, there is something for everyone on the ASU Polytechnic Campus. At the Polytechnic Campus, every student can drive their own experience as they engage in the events and resources on-campus while attending classes, getting an on-campus job, landing an internship or full-time job, joining clubs and organizations, attending many free events and activities, and so much more. The Dean of Students Office (in the Academic Center) and the many student services offices at ASU Polytechnic are always there for students, and it's easy to find your way towards graduation and your future when taking advantage of these resources. I look forward to seeing what comes next on such an engaging campus such as the ASU Polytechnic Campus in the coming years! read more

I'm glad I have a degree that is at this campus because I don't know how I would survive in the Tempe location. Poly is smaller and the classes are easy to find. There are a lot of food choices nearby if you get a gap between classes. Not only campus they have Starbucks and Subway, but just less than 5 miles, there's more fast food, sushi, or whatever (Power Rd or Recker Rd) The only thing I don't like is that parents park their cars in the Orange slots 2,4,6 when their kids from the ASU Preperatory Academy just right across (Tiburon Ave) gets out of school. It's unfair for us here because there's no parking.. even though there is a sign saying "No ASU Prepatory Academy parking.." parents don't listen nor read the signs So most of the time I see them park at the orange slots and walk across, then come back. Most of those cars are SUV's and vans. So you kinda can tell who drives them lol I paid $360 per semester to park here so I'd appreciate it very much when I can find parking.. I know they only park for a few minutes but it does get packed by noon. This semester so far I've only seen it happen Mondays and Wednesdays because I have classes and gaps those days and it gets busy in and out. I know for college students there used to be a plackard to put on the mirror but now it just shows your drivers license that you can park at the certain slots. But I don't know how often they check that. I would have said something but even that sign doesn't do anything so what the heck.. read more

My son goes here and he really likes how his classes for his biology major are all on this campus. Laundry is free. The freshman dorms are very nice and there are grills for those who want to bbq themselves. There is a free shuttle every 30 minutes to all the campuses (and he goes to Tempe a lot). Free shuttle also for football games (games are free too). Four stars for being quiet (too quiet for my lively son), and he said the cafeteria doesnt have enough beef. But hey, college is what you make of it. read more

I know this happens when people are all gathering from different locations and coexisting but this place has bedbugs. And it's pretty bad.

This place is ass and boring don't go here. I would have never thought that a college campus could be so boring and dead everyday of the week but then I came here. Not worth the money. Don't go here. read more

Over $400 to park out in a remote area in the middle of the desert? What a joke. Classic example of a university taking advantage of students with a money grab. Absolutely shameful. ASU, you should be embarrassed by your disgusting display of greed by drastically over-charging for student parking. read more

ASU - Polytech Campus is well designed. It's never crowded. It is a great location for students living in the East Valley. The parking seems adequate. On a personal note, I have been invited to exhibit my photography in their library. The staff is very helpful. It is always a pleasure. read more

Beautiful buildings, pretty grounds. My husband, son and I visited the campus over the weekend. We were trying to find the union building but kept getting turned around with the number of Innovation Ways and the confusing roundabout. Parking was great because there were no fees during the weekend. We enjoyed the tour of the union, the 4 person suite dorms we saw, The fitness center was well furnished with state of the art equipment. From the outside, the dining facility looked well designed. I would have liked to see what they offered. My son and I enjoyed the lovely fountain outside the union building. Overall, our impression was positive. read more

Nice campus, small class sizes, good professors, but not a lot of activity around the campus.

Polytechnic campus is my favorite campus out of all of the asu campuses. It is open air, easy to find, map friendly, & in general safe place . This campus is relaxed, no stress, and has A Zen nature environment. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to go to college that has a big name with a small town feel. read more

I have been going to ASU Poly for 2 years now, I like the small campus feel, but not a lot of amenities available yet. They are building an awesome fitness center, but alas, I will be gone before its completion. The staff actually care about the students for the most part, and are willing to work with you! read more

Nice, big spacious campus with not nearly as many people as the Tempe campus. Lots of parking options, easy to get lost. Came for a meeting and police was helpful in giving me directions. read more

ASU Polytech is a good option for college for some people. Offers all the academic options/support of the ASU system in a smaller campus that's easy to access if you live in the East Valley. It's a vibe similar to what I'd think a small liberal arts college would have. There are an increasing number of amenities including brand new dorms, dining and fitness center on campus. The area itself is growing and essentially safe but boring suburbs. If you want to hit Mill Avenue frequently or want to be close to college sporting events go to Tempe. If you want smaller classes and a more intimate college setting where your professors will all know your name Polytech is a good option. read more

Way better than dealing with the Tempe campus. Feels like a community college. Better for adults.
