Should ASU be on my prospective schools?

My D is a reserved, serious student and partying by other students has never been a factor in her experience. I would put far more weight on what kind of educational experiences you want.

How important is class size to you? Do you like to be in interactive classes or are large lectures ok?

My D is graduating with a CS degree on the Tempe campus this semester and large classes in CS is the norm, even for upper level. You can check the classes at all the campuses here (or search ASU class schedule) and enter CSE for the Computer Science classes on the Tempe/Polytechnic campuses and ACO for the Applied Computing BS offered on the West Campus.

West has smaller classes but I would be concerned that there doesn’t seem to be the senior level courses that an employer for CS graduates would be expecting to see. Informatics is only offered at the Tempe campus.
