Yo, I want to apply to Arizona State but a bit confused about their multiple campuses. Which campus is the best for someone majoring in computer science? Any insights or suggestions would be great. Cheers!
Absolutely, I can steer you in the right direction. Arizona State University (ASU) operates on a “one university in many places” model. This means even though the university has multiple campuses, they are all part of the same institution, following the same academics and guidelines.
For the Computer Science major, your program would be under the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. The main hub for this school is at the Tempe Campus. This campus is the largest and oldest of ASU's campuses and has a vast array of resources, facilities, and clubs that can support your studies. Plus, it's in a cool college town, near Phoenix, and has plenty of things to do.
That said, ASU encourages students to take classes across its different campuses if they choose to, and they provide intercampus shuttles to facilitate this. Therefore, you aren't necessarily restricted to the Tempe campus for all your studies.
Finally, regardless of which campus you're based at, with ASU's digital immersion learning, you also have the option to take classes online.
So, the best campus for you would ultimately depend on your personal preferences. You might want to consider factors like size, location, facilities, housing options, or the general 'feel' of each campus. But for specific resources for Computer Science, Tempe would be a good choice.
