    Arizona State University - Pretty night shot at ASU

    While we were in Phoenix, our friend took us on a tour of Arizona State University. She's a proud…read morealum who still supports the school, so she was definitely on a mission to convince my teenage daughter that ASU should be on her college list. Unfortunately, it was over 100° that day, so she had a pretty tough sales pitch! She started by showing us her old dorm, which happened to be very close to the school where she was studying. That was actually really nostalgic for me because I still remember sending snail mail to her dorm back in the early 2000s. It was fun to see where she had lived all those years ago. One of the things I really liked about the campus was all the little spaces tucked away throughout it. There were secret courtyards where students could sit outside and study, tons of seating, volleyball courts, and plenty of areas that seemed designed to encourage students to actually spend time together and build a community. I was also impressed by how secure everything felt. Most of the buildings were locked, with the library and the Memorial Union being among the places we could actually go inside. The library was huge, quiet, and had tons of breakout rooms, making it look like a really comfortable place to study whether you wanted to work alone or with a group. The Memorial Union was another highlight. Instead of feeling like a traditional college cafeteria, it had all kinds of chain restaurants and food options. There was even a barbershop on campus, which I thought was a great convenience for students who might not have a car or simply don't want to leave campus for basic services. Transportation also seems to be a big part of campus life. We saw everything from bikes and skateboards to scooters, and there were plenty of places to lock them up. Between the different transportation options, walkability, and security measures, it seemed like students could get around without needing a car. And the buildings themselves are really unique. The "Wedding Cake" building definitely caught my attention, and I was especially excited to see the building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright because I'm a fan of his work. There's a lot of interesting architecture throughout the campus, so even just walking around felt like sightseeing. Even though it was brutally hot, I liked that there were places where you could duck inside and get some air conditioning. The campus also seemed very walkable, which I imagine would make a big difference during normal Arizona weather--not necessarily during our 100°+ tour day! We didn't really get to experience the academic side of ASU, so I can't speak much to the actual education or specific programs. This was more of a general campus tour where we got to see the larger spaces, student areas, transportation options, and overall layout. From what I saw, ASU looks like a fun place for college students to create their own community while getting an education. Our friend may not have completely convinced my daughter--especially while she was melting in the Arizona heat--but it was definitely an interesting campus to explore! Forks up!

    From day one my question was: "How many classes will I need to take to complete your CS degree?"…read more First I had to apply and get accepted, then I had to run a DARS report. Then I asked them to confirm if the outlandish number I was seeing was accurate and they couldn't give me an answer I had to ask 6 more times via calls and emails. When I finally convinced someone to respond to me via email? Yes, the outlandish number was correct. Having two associates and a bachelors already, Arizona State still wanted me to take general education classes on top of literally double the amount of classes my current college required for their CS degree. It was quite literally shocking and wasted everyone's time by not simply having a transfer tool or DARS report available for potential students. All in all, I highly recommend anyone considering Arizona State to compare schools, as attending ASU would have increased my degree runway by more than a year and cost me thousands more dollars for the exact same degree.

As an alumni myself I am proud of my school and remember my time here fondly. My wife just finished her doctorate here and I can attest that it was a positive and fulfilling experience for her and our family. I can't thank the veterans office enough for handling all of the GI Bill funding necessary to get her to graduate.

When it comes to the Jewish students at ASU, Hillel is one of a very few places that they go to for support whether it be a talented group of staff, a building that feels like home, and plenty of intentional programming and activities that take place both within the building and across the four ASU campuses. As an ASU staff member and a Hillel board member, I have found myself staying in touch with Hillel staff members and student leaders on a regular basis and making it over to the Hillel Jewish Student Center whenever I get a chance. This year, being based at the West Valley Campus has made it more challenging to do so, but when I plan the drive out accordingly, I can make it to special events on the Tempe Campus or at the Hillel Jewish Student Center. After having worked at three universities each with a Hillel center, I have been impressed with the work put in by the staff, volunteers, and student leaders to create such a meaningful experience for the students and community members who find themselves at Hillel. Hillel offers programming to celebrate the many Jewish holidays throughout the year including weekly Shabbat services and even the High Holidays when classes are in session. Their website (https://www.hillelasu.org) highlights many of these events in a calendar. They also have communities within the community at Hillel including groups for students involved with Greek Life, engineering, business, journalism, the Downtown Campus, the Polytechnic campus, and those interested in social justice. There are also Birthright Israel trips sponsored by Hillel bringing students on 10-day trips to Israel. For many of the programs and events, even non-Jewish students are welcome to join. They also offer Kosher food onsite, scholarships, employment and internships, travel opportunities, and an opportunity for families to connect. In fact, there are events during Move-In, Family Weekend, Jewish holidays including the High Holidays, and other times throughout the year when families are welcome to join their students (though they technically are never turned away). There are also opportunities for the community and alumni to make donations to support such programming. From the annual fundraiser L'dor V'dor to the new capital campaign to get a new building built, there are many ways to contribute. I certainly recommend anyone knowing a current or future ASU student who has Jewish ties to continue reaching out to the ASU Hillel to connect with them.
