Welcome to Spring Break University aka Arizona State University. Life doesn’t get much better here, surrounded by the perfect scenery, and I’m not just talking about the people. I’m not sure why anyone would ever go anywhere else to better their education and still have the best years of their lives.
- There is literally a pool party almost every single weekend. The fun goes all the way into January. It’s exhausting. To go along with this, the weather is perfect pretty much all year round. What is winter?
- Don’t even get me started about game days. There is so much emphasis on football and the tailgates. Half of the time student’s don’t even make it to the games because of all the fun tailgate festivities. The U of A rivalry makes for a lot of heated competition that the students can’t get enough of.
- You could probably go out every single night of the week if you wanted to. Whether it’s a trip down Mill Ave. to hit up Gringo, or perhaps Hefe. Maybe it's Wednesday and you're going to old town for Sunday fun day. Yes I promise we still go to class.
- Then there’s Greek life. I’ve met the best friends I’ve ever had joining this community, spending every single day together walking to class or staying up all night laughing and telling stories. Joining a sorority/fraternity is the best decision one can make at ASU.
- Endless shopping is available close to campus, whether you’re on Mill Ave. scoping out the boutiques, or want take a short drive to Scottsdale Fashion square. Any fashionista is bound to be satisfied with hundreds of trendy stores.
- There’s so many delicious food options that surround campus, whether it's Postinos for a Bruchetta Board or Sunday Brunch at NCounter you will never go hungry in Tempe. It is not uncommon to hit up Dutch bros and In 'n Out once or twice a week. Seriously, if you leave Arizona you will have withdrawals based on the food alone.
- The campus is close to all types of adventure, whether you want to climb Camelback mountain trails or go exploring around Saguro lake. You can spend the day Salt River tubing. The possibilities are endless.
- It is only about a four hour drive to California or Vegas. There are many opportunity for the spontaneous road trip to occur and it does often.
- Arizona State is the largest campus in the U.S. There are a wide variety of clubs and activities to get involved in. Hundreds of academic majors are offered allowing any student to succeed and follow their dreams.
- The last reason I hate this school is because it’s going to be so hard to graduate from. There is always something to do and has brought me the best memories I could have ever had. The city of Tempe that surrounds ASU has so much culture and I can’t wait to see it continue to grow.
