Campus Visit Notes for Arizona State University:
Visit Description:
The whole visit was great and definitely well worth it. Just to see this campus is amazing because it is soo beautiful. They had just finished building the first Hassayampa dorm and are in the process of bulding the second. We were also told by the tour guide that there is going to be a grocery store in the second Hassaymapa dorm which should be finished by next year. The tour was perfect and was exactly was I was hoping for. It answered all my questions and gave me more information than I could have asked for.
