Entry #10: The best "party school"

 

Image Source

Arizona State University has been known as a party school for years. It’s probably the first thing many people think about when they hear “ASU.” This has made a lot of future college students not take them seriously and not want to attend there. What many people don’t realize is that ASU is more than just their reputation; they are actually a pretty good college and here I’ll explain why.  

First of all, if you live in Arizona, you might have seen advertisements all over the state about how ASU is ranked #1 for innovation. According to HELLOUNI, “The institution is renowned for research, industry connections, and forward-thinking programs.” This explains that ASU is heavily focused on creating the best and top education for their students. They are also ranked #1 for a lot of things such as the #1 college in the United States for international students, sustainable practices, international trade and more! They have a wide variety of undergraduate and graduates' degrees you can choose from. 

Another thing that makes ASU a great college is how many campuses they have. They have a total of 4 campuses in Tempe (which is their main one), West Valley, Downtown Phoenix and Polytechnic. With a wide range of locations, you can choose which campus fits you the best! Not only that, but they also have shuttle buses where you can go from one campus to another if that's what you prefer. 

ASU is one of the best colleges for employment. According to UniApplyNow, “You’ll be surrounded by tech, healthcare, aerospace, and finance companies that are actively hiring. Career fairs, co-ops, and part-time roles are close by, giving you a chance to gain experience while you study. Many ASU students even land full-time jobs before graduation.” How awesome! With how tough the job market is these days, this gives me comfort in knowing that ASU has a great support system and has many opportunities that can help me get hired after graduation!

Overall, ASU is more than what people label a “party school.” From being ranked high in many areas to offering the best academic programs, real opportunities, helpful resources, and a positive environment that supports students success, their strengths clearly outweighs their outdated label. I know for sure that this is the University I am going to transfer to! What about you? What college do you plan on transferring to?

    Hi Salina! I do think ASU seems more of a party school, but it's totally awesome you are planning to transfer there. Good luck! I wish to attend NAU for a degree in forensic psychology. They appear to have a great psych program.

    I really liked how you explained that ASU is more than just a party school. I didn’t know they had so many rankings or that they offered that many opportunities for jobs after graduation. The different campuses and shuttle system also sound really convenient. This made me see ASU in a more positive way.

Entry #1: Why you should volunteer

Image
One hobby that I enjoy doing in my free time is volunteering. I first started volunteering in my sophomore year of high school for this club I was in but ever since, I've enjoyed doing it. Volunteering makes me happy because I am helping others and doing good to the community! Community service is good to do because it benefits both you and the community, which can make the world a better place.                            Image Source Volunteering is important because it teaches you responsibility and creates a lasting impact on others. Some community service that I've done include volunteering for Feed My Starving Children which is a non-profit organization where I helped with the packaging of food for children and families in need and when I helped children find the perfect sized coats for them to wear in the winter at an elementary school. Seeing the smiles on their faces made my day because I knew I was making a b...

Are blogs any good? Let's see!

What I think about blogs I have never really thought about blogs or ever read them but after skimming through some and reading them, I have formed an opinion that they are very helpful and useful. They keep us entertained when we're bored and inform us about new trends and other information. For example, food blogs help give the steps to create the meals we want, professional blogs help us with inspiration and motivation, and personal blogs help keep us updated with our loved one's lives, so we are not missing out on all of the fun. That's very nice, isn't it?! Blog #1 One blog that I have read and liked is The Pioneer Woman . I like this blog because it is a food blog and it shows recipes of the delicious dishes they show and tells us how many servings it yields, the prep time and total amount of time it would take to make the dish.  Organization and format This blog is organized by the title, The Pioneer Woman , the headings which includes the categories of the foods ...

Entry #6: Why everyone loves Converse

Image
Converse has been around for many years and is still popular to this day. Whether wearing them at school, when hanging out with friends or at concerts, Converse always fits in. There’s a reason why they are so po pular and why many people keep on choosing them, and that’s because they both have style and comfort. I remember when I bought my first pair of Chuck Taylors when I was about to start my first year of high school, and I’m still wearing them to this day!   Image Source One reason why Converse stands out is because of their many color options. The colors include black, white, red, blue, gray, yellow, orange, and basically any color you can think of. Converse also has a customizing option where you can design your own shoes! Because of these amazing color options, you can easily find pairs that match your outfits. I have the classic black and white Chuck Taylors which go well with any outfit I wear. Image Source Another reason is you don’t have to worry about ...
