Arizona State University

I like the looks of this University alot, because they have a campus down town and than, also - one right down the street from me, about 20 blocks down the road.

Has any one experienced this University? Some information about it;

Arizona State University is a national space-grant institution and public metropolitan research university located on several campuses spread across the Phoenix, Arizona, Metropolitan Area.

I think Arizona State University has alot of great people surrounding the area. A great community is what it has and I want to be a part of that. So many new ideas and great businesses coming together to create this great state of Arizona.
