Should ASU be on my prospective schools?

@goatstudios23 You are allowed to take some classes at Tempe. However, if you do ACO on the West Campus, that is the only place the required classes for that major are held. I don’t know if there is a residency requirement (ie required number of hours on that campus) in addition to that. At least as important is that the commute time to and from the West and Tempe campuses is 45 min to an hour each way by car so it isn’t very practical even if it is allowed. Close to 2 hours by a complicated combination of public transit for which some parts may not have the hours you would want. There may also be ASU busses that make the trip but I would suggest looking at the hours.

I think it is more that most of the recruiters that come to campus to recruit will be from the West. Doesn’t mean you can’t apply any where in the country. You do well and I think you would be marketable with a CS degree anywhere. I’m still not certain about that ACO degree though.
