<p>can u work partime in asu on campus</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you mean about “encountered sexually?” As in sexual harassment? No, I’ve never had any sexual harassment issues, but ASU does have a really legit campus security program.</p>
<p>Yes, you can work part-time on campus. There’s actually an employment page that shows you the available jobs you can hold as a student: <a href=“http://students.asu.edu/employment/search[/url]”>http://students.asu.edu/employment/search</a></p>
<p>there are no canteen jobs?</p>
<p>btw do u htink its better to do off the campus or on the campus</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you’re asking. By “canteen” do you mean bars? There are plenty of bars around campus, ranging from regular bars to sports lounges and such. If you wanted to work at one, you’ve definitely got a lot of options.</p>
<p>By “off the campus or on the campus”, do you mean living or jobs? If you’re asking about on vs. off campus living, I’d recommend on campus living for at least your first year because that makes it a lot easier to get used to the campus and get to know many people.</p>
<p>If you’re asking about on campus vs. off campus jobs, that depends. If you work on campus, they might be more willing to work around your class schedule, but the pay is usually really low. You might be able to find a better-paying job off campus, and there are tons of options around ASU, so odds are pretty high that you’d be able to find something that worked for you.</p>
<p>elisebear,</p>
<p>Thank you so much for starting this thread!</p>
<p>I live in WA and am currently enrolled as a freshman in community college, even though I’m technically a high school senior (I’m participating in the Running Start program).</p>
<p>I wanted to ask you - I’m double majoring in Political Science and Economics and I saw that ASU offers Political Science on the West campus as a WUE major.</p>
<p>I thought about the WUE program, however, they don’t offer my other major -Economics.</p>
<p>Do you think I’d have a chance to get some scholarships as an out-of-state transfer with a (currently) 3.6 cum. GPA? I’ll graduate with my AA next Spring, in 2012. </p>
<p>Should I apply for the West campus or the Tempe campus? Out-of-state tuition and all other expenses are about $40.000.</p>
<p>Oh! And since you’re in Barrett - do you know anything about being able to transfer into their Honor’s program?</p>
<p>I was also looking at universities in California but their Out-of-state tuition is even higher and they seem to struggle with budget cuts and tuition increases, just like Washington state.</p>
<p>Hi, aheadofthegame! Your username is definitely appropriate for your situation, haha :)</p>
<p>It’s a bummer that the WUE program doesn’t offer Econ as a major because it definitely sounds like an awesome program. Since the West campus doesn’t offer Econ, I personally would recommend trying to get into the W.P. Carey program on the Tempe campus because then you could double-major in both PoliSci and Econ. The W.P. Carey School of Business is a pretty recognized name, plus it’s ranked and all that jazz, so it’d look awesome for future grad schools and employers. I always recommend talking to an advisor when it comes to picking majors and campuses, though, because they’re a valuable resource and are generally really knowledgeable when it comes to navigating degree requirements and such.</p>
<p>In order to save some cash, I’d recommend seeing if there are any options available to you through the WUE program; maybe you can take Econ another way while still being a part of their program. They have a prospective student contact number at 480-965-7788, so you might be able to talk to someone and see what your options are as far as double-majoring in a major outside of WUE’s majors.</p>
<p>And yes, I totally think you can secure some scholarships if you maintain that rockin’ transfer GPA you have. Check out their info on the New American University transfer scholarship here: [Transfer</a> Scholarships | Transfer Site](<a href=“http://transfer.asu.edu/scholarships]Transfer”>http://transfer.asu.edu/scholarships) You’re automatically considered for it when you apply, but explore around that scholarship’s requirements so that you know how high you need to maintain your GPA to be considered for it. I had the NAU scholarship when I first entered and it took out a huge chunk of the money I had to pay, so it’s definitely a really awesome resource.</p>
<p>As far as Barrett is concerned, you are absolutely able to transfer in as a Junior. You will have slightly different requirements, but basically the biggest difference is that you won’t have to take the Human Event (a freshman course required for Barrett freshmen). Here’s a breakdown of your requirements as a Barrett transfer: [Barrett</a>, The Honors College Upper Division Requirements](<a href=“http://barretthonors.asu.edu/academics/requirements-courses-and-contracts/upper-division-requirements/]Barrett”>http://barretthonors.asu.edu/academics/requirements-courses-and-contracts/upper-division-requirements/)</p>
<p>With your grades and a good recommendation, you’ll have a great shot at being accepted into the program. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, the California schools are experiencing a bit of a budget strain. I know the public school system had to increase their tuition over the past few years to compensate, and out-of-state tuition is always really high. Have you considered private schools? They’re competitive, but I found that being a transfer student with a high GPA makes private schools love you, haha. You might be able to get some pretty sizable scholarships if you’re able to maintain your grades. Just food for thought!</p>
<p>Hey Elisebear, you really know your stuff and seem to be very helpful to everyone so far so hopefully you can help me too! 
I made my own thread about my question but im gonna post it here too incase you didnt see it. Basically I need to sign up for a Humanities/Social Behavior course for the fall semester. I looked through the list and 2 classes caught my eye. JUS 222 (Drugs and Justice) and ASB 222 (Buried Civilizations and Lost Tribes). Besides the 2 sentences of info they give about the course on the asu website I know nothing about these 2 classes. Are they hard? easy? fun? frustrating? a complete waste of time and money? totally worth it? a gpa killer? a gpa booster? I really struggle with papers and essays, Im not necesarily bad at them but my attention span for them is very little and when you mix that with some good ol’ procrastination its nothing but a nightmare. I know going to college im inevitably going to get assigned an essay but I woud like to do anything in my power to avoid them. After talking to some current freshman aswell as family that attended ASU I have 1 goal for freshman year. I want have a very good starting gpa aswell as meet all my major requirements for the first year. I have a scholarship (Provost merit scholarship) and I cant lose it to a low gpa. after talking to family and teachers they all said that its very important to have a good gpa at the start and if I was to lose the scholarship its better to lose it junior/senior year rather than freshman year.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance! :)</p>
<p>is it important to ateend the orientation. since im from another country i require an I 20 visa i doubt that ill be able to attend the orientation in time.</p>
<p>Hi Soapster!</p>
<p>I totally understand wanting to keep your GPA up for scholarships, but honestly, your first few years won’t give you much trouble as long as you do your work. Since you take mostly gen eds the first two years, the workload won’t be too huge - just make sure you’re doing the reading you’re supposed to do and completing EVERY assignment. Honestly. Don’t let any assignment go uncompleted, whether it’s a small worksheet or a huge paper. If you have to turn it in late, do so anyway - late is better than incomplete.</p>
<p>I know too many people who just didn’t do the work and that resulted in them losing their scholarship/high GPA/and so on. Look at it this way: you’re going to have plenty of time to party and hang out friends, just take a few hours out of every week to get those assignments done! I don’t want to sound preachy but I just don’t want you to lose your scholarship like what I’ve seen happen before.</p>
<p>With that said, I’m actually not completely familiar with those two classes but I know my boyfriend took ASB during his first semester. He liked it and found the class a little boring at times, but pretty interesting. He was in a large lecture and I believe he was in the 100 level class, though, so I’m not sure if it’s the same professor. Are you a new incoming freshman? Usually, 200-level classes are taken after 100-level courses. 100-level are more introductory level and tend to be a bit easier since they’re more general, and more freshmen tend to take these instead of the 200-levels (I took 100 level courses during my first semester for gen eds, and then started taking 200-level courses for my major in second semester). Maybe keep an eye out for 100 level courses instead? Just my two cents :)</p>
<p>For finding out more info about the workload of these classes, what you can do is go to [Rate</a> My Professors | Find and rate your professor, campus and more - RateMyProfessors.com](<a href=“http://www.ratemyprofessors.com%5DRate”>http://www.ratemyprofessors.com) and search for under the “Find my school” option for Arizona State University (make sure you pick the one on Tempe campus), and then just search through the listings for the professors of the classes you’re interested in.</p>
<p>If you haven’t used this website before, it’s a way valuable resource for getting an idea of what the workload is for certain professors if they have been reviewed. If not, you can try to Google the professor’s name plus the name of their class and the keyword “syllabus”, which might provide you with a link to a syllabus from a previous year or so. That last option requires you to be a bit of an Internet detective, but if the professor has posted the syllabus online in previous years, then you should be able to find it!</p>
<p>yoome1, orientation is pretty important because that’s when you’ll be starting registration and such. You’ll be able to work around it if you can’t participate, though - you should be able to call a counselor and coordinate something else that works better with your schedule.</p>
<p>i am currently giving AS and A level exams and my results will most probabaly come in august. is there any chance that i will be getting credits</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your help! </p>
<p>I contacted an advisor yesterday and you were right - I’d have to go to the Tempe campus because that’s where W.P. Carey is at.
I asked if I could double major at the West campus but they won’t allow it if I do one WUE major and the other’s just a “regular” major.
So, I’d definitely have to pay Out-of-state tuition unless I’ll get a good financial aid packet.
They mentioned though that transfers don’t get as many scholarships as freshman but oh well. </p>
<p>However, W.P. Carey seems like a really good school! I’d be excited to go there, I think. :)</p>
<p>Thank you!
I thought that was actually a bit low for a transfer GPA because I’m at a community college and every class is supposed to be easier than at a university - according to my friends at least. Yes, I think I’ll be definitely be able to maintain that GPA and I really, really hope they’ll still offer the New American University transfer scholarship for next Fall!
That’d be great :)</p>
<p>Nice! I really like Barrett from what I’ve read on their website. They seem to have pretty good advising as well and I’m interested in going to law school so that practically jumped out to me when I was researching if ASU could be a fit for me.</p>
<p>Thank you! :)</p>
<p>Yeah, California and Washington are both experiencing a budget strain…
It’s shocking to see how many classes they cut at my community college. Tuition generally goes up this next calendar year as well (2011-12), I think it’s 12% for community and technical colleges. However, they just passed a new bill yesterday that allows all universities in Washington to basically individually set their own tuition rates. Before it was always the legislature that told them that they can’t raise it up to such and such an amount.
I didn’t really look at the public universities in California because I thought I would not have a chance to get in. I heard about the University of Southern California but their tuition is pretty hefty and I’m not sure if I could get in.
Are there any private schools that you looked at and from that you think I could have a shot at?</p>
<p>Can you tell me what you know about Vista del Sol?</p>
<p>How do the Barrett dorms compare to others on campus? i.e. are they roomier or more aesthetically pleasing than the others? Also, are we expected to bring our own TVs or does nobody do that?</p>
<p>I was just mentioning to DS that we should probably think about what to get for his dorm. What is good to have/bring for your Barrett dorm room? What is not needed (as in that you think you need and buy and end up not using and wasting money)?! This would be very helpful to know before shopping. Thanks!</p>
<p>I know the dorms at ASU are separated by major
they said this on the campus tour
do you know what dorm a Political Science major, or an undecided would get?
and do you know what majors typically get assigned Manzanita, Hassyampa, and Sonora
I am starting 2012 so idk if manzy will be open or not
i know they closed for next year to renovate</p>
<p>i have a question regarding asu citizenship validation. im an international student. should i leave the citizenship validation as i doesnt concern me</p>
<p>Sorry I’ve been away! I usually get hits to this thread via email, but I guess I accidentally deactivated that option.</p>
<p>Anyway, here are my suggestions:</p>
<p>aheadofthegame: I’m really glad you called and had your questions answered. Though I transferred out of ASU, one thing I LOVED is that their advising staff was generally really helpful and patient, so don’t be afraid to keep asking questions! As far as your chances of getting into a public or private California school, I still maintain that you have a pretty good shot because you’re an out-of-state-student with a good GPA, so it wouldn’t hurt to check out your options. </p>
<p>The University of California system is nationally recognized - specifically with your interest in PoliSci and Econ, UCLA or Berkeley would be my top public school suggestions. Obviously, they’re really competitive, so check out the other UC campuses for sure! Each one has its own merits and are located in really different areas, so go here [University</a> of California - Campuses - The University of California campuses provide environments that foster world-class educational and research opportunities, generating a wide range of public benefits and services.](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses/welcome.html]University”>Campuses & locations | University of California) to learn more about the campuses. You can also look into the Cal States, which are less expensive than the UCs: [California</a> State University | Campus Websites](<a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/search_find/campus.shtml]California”>http://www.calstate.edu/search_find/campus.shtml)</p>
<p>I’m more experienced with the UCs than Cal States, so if you have any questions about those, let me know!</p>
<p>Regarding private schools, there are literally TONS of them in Cali. It depends mostly on the location you’re looking for, like location and school specifics. The ones that immediately come to mind are Loyola Marymount (ABSOLUTELY beautiful, with a great business program), Chapman, or, as you mentioned, USC. As you brought up, though, the tuition for a private school tends to be pretty steep, so you might have to weigh the financial pros and cons. I’d apply to at least one, though, just to see what kind of financial aid package you can get.</p>
<p>Honestly, I recommend trying out Collegeboard’s College Matchmaker here: [College</a> MatchMaker - Type of School](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board). You can narrow the list down to religious preferences, majors, location, and so on. It’s not an exact science but it does give you a general idea of what’s out there. </p>
<p>Let me know if you need anything else!</p>
<p>Hi, asubound23!</p>
<p>Vista Del Sol is a pretty great option for students who want to live off-campus, but not too far from everything. If you’ve already visited the Tempe campus, it’s at the southernmost part of ASU across the street from Hassyampa and Barrett. I’ve never been inside of the apartments but I do know that there are still Resident Advisors like there are in the dorms. There are parties over there all the time, so if you’re looking for a place to meet people and party during the week, Vista Del Sol is definitely an option.</p>
<p>I’m relatively certain you can live there as a freshman, but check with your housing plan to make sure you’re not required to live on-campus. For example, if you’re a Barrett student, you’re required to live on-campus for two years (unless you live with your parents). </p>
<p>I’d recommend checking out their website here: [Vista</a> del Sol - Mobile Version](<a href=“http://vistadelsol.com/]Vista”>http://vistadelsol.com/) for more information.</p>
