From #1 party school in 2000 to #1 in innovation in 2025, ASU has ascended to the ranks of truly…read morereputable schools that have degree programs worthy of the paper they are printed on. 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.

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.

She was very condescending and rude.Also said I'm going to be in tons of debt and said I would likely not be able to afford the out of pocket.She asked me really unnecessary questions like how much my paychecks are. I never feel the need to write bad reviews but she was unbelievably pushy and made a lot of assumptions about me as a person.I felt judged and I know she is trying to get people to take classes at this school that is her job but I will never attend this school!Even if I consider medical assisting I will find somewhere else to take my hard earned money.Amanda is a terrible sales person. I didn't fall for her scummy sales tactics.I'm only giving this 3 stars because Liv and the financial aid were very helpful with trying to get me back on track with my other student loans.

My daughter is wrapping up her freshman year as a pre-nursing student at ASU's downtown Phoenix…read morecampus. In summary, ASU has been awesome! She chose ASU over other universities because of (1) "direct admission" into ASU's nursing program; (2) admission to ASU's Barrett Honors College, reportedly the gold standard of honors colleges; (3) great merit-based scholarships that ASU automatically offered to her; (4) a great reputation in the world of nursing, with clinical opportunities at Mayo's Phoenix hospital and Phoenix Children's Hospital. As a Barrett student, my daughter lives on the 14th floor ("penthouse") of Gordon Commons in a good-sized two-person room with a private bathroom. (Her boyfriend is in the Best dorm on the Tempe campus. It's not nearly as nice.) She likes the dorm food and the ability to use dorm food credits at nearby eateries, e.g., Chick-Fil-A. She sometimes takes the shuttle to the Tempe campus and pays extra to eat at the Barrett dorm there. Reportedly, the Barrett food is epic. For her pre-nursing classes, she has found she is more college-ready than her classmates. On team projects, she often must correct classmates' mistakes. She enjoys her Barrett class, where she finds a higher caliber of student and an engaging professor. She's now beginning some of her special research obligations as a Barrett student. As a "direct admit" nursing student, my daughter must earn a GPA of 3.5 or higher each semester. Last semester, she got a 4.0 with several "A+" grades. This semester is also going well, but she is taking a challenging anatomy class along with pre-med and other pre-health professions students. Apparently, it is a weed-out class. She is on the border between an A and B; all her friends are in the D-range. Fun fact: the students are already working with cadavers. A random fact: ASU will open its brand new medical school in 2026. As is the case everywhere, a lot of students prefer partying to studying, but the downtown Phoenix students tend to be more serious and have fewer distractions. Some students prefer the quieter downtown atmosphere; others prefer the busier Tempe campus. Next year, my daughter will be living in her sorority house in Tempe and taking the shuttle to downtown for half of her classes. It's a 20-minute ride. ASU does remarkable outreach to parents and enthusiastically encourages family involvement in many aspects of the university. (By contrast, our other daughter attends a University of California school, which does NO family outreach.) So, I have volunteered for several roles, e.g., ASU Family Ambassador. The ASU website offers family access and tons of information and resources. This feature is being upgraded as I write this. Also, several Facebook groups offer a plethora of helpful information and support. My favorite is ASU Moms. Typical situation: a student has a medical emergency; parents can't immediately fly to Phoenix; a local mom helps out as if it were her own kid. At the outset of the college application process, ASU was not on our radar. However, it did spectacular marketing and really grabbed our attention. Plus, its rolling admissions gave our daughters the comfort of knowing they had at least one solid option. Whereas many universities are inexplicably turning down incredible applicants who show strong promise of future success (including our daughters), ASU seems eager to recruit and reward all these über-qualified, frustrated, overlooked kids. I think this is a great strategy: I believe ASU will ultimately make the University of California schools seem exceedingly average. No university is perfect, but overall, I heartily recommend ASU.

When someone thinks of Arizona State University, they often think of the Tempe Campus and a large…read moreschool 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 Downtown Phoenix 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 (as ASU's second largest campus) that there is always something happening. It's growing as a campus and has transformed quickly from a commuter campus (when it first opened) to a residential campus with nearly 2,000 bed spaces in two residence halls. Opened for classes in 2006, the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus has hit many milestones over the last several years. For instance, in April 2023, the Taylor Place residence hall was renamed Gordon Commons in honor of former Mayor Phil Gordon. This campus meshes well with the Downtown Phoenix area as they share streets, parks, and nearby restaurants and stores. In fact, ASU is actively involved in monthly stakeholder meetings with the Downtown Phoenix Inc. (DPI). It helps Downtown stakeholders in knowing what's going on at ASU while it helps ASU to know what's going on around the Downtown Phoenix area. For instance, ASU students and staff enjoy participating in First Fridays while DPI is involved in ASU Welcome Week events. As the campus continues to grow and become more engrained in the Downtown Phoenix culture every year, the number of buildings on campus continue to increase. In addition to academic buildings such as those of Cronkite, Thunderbird, and the Beus Center for Law and Society, there are student services available in University Center and Student Center at the Post Office. There are also classrooms within the Mercado Center and Arizona Center and even the Fusion on First residence hall and 850 PBC. Within Gordon Commons (another residence hall) is a Starbucks, Chick-fil-a, other restaurants, a Multicultural Communities of Excellence space, a dining hall, and marketplace. There is also some interesting art on campus such as the "Her Secret is Patience" sculpture above the Civic Space Park. There is also a beautiful Sun Devil Fitness Center with a roof-top pool. Needless to say, there is something for everyone on the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus. At the Downtown Phoenix 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 Post Office) and the many student services offices at ASU Downtown Phoenix 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 Downtown Phoenix Campus in the coming years!

I am now half way through the program, debating on dropping it as I have found it to be a waste of my G.I bill but I absolutely hate dropping something I start. You get more classes of English, business, environmental science, physical science, and gen. eds. than you do dedicated "gunsmithing". Not saying this is all bad as I have learned some things I would not have taken the time to do on my own but it is not in the slightest what I thought I was signing up for. They have courses on woodwork, polishing, a brief ( very brief) section of metal work and holster making class and the rest seem to be gen eds just filling time. The tools and supplies they send you are the definition of " bottom of the barrel", instructors do not follow the same grading format. I currently have a C average in one class due to my citation list and bibliography at the end of assignments while in another class I have an A average ( I use the same citation format for both classes and one instructor docks 25 points out of 100 for the citation, only difference between the two grades) I don't recommend this school in the slightest, you are better off to find someone you can apprentice under, or if you are lucky enough to start young: go to an actual hands on residency college. If worst comes, watch Youtube and you'll be more proficient and streamlined in learning. -T. Hunt
