I felt my experience with ASU could best be described as balanced. I attended for both my bachelors and masters degrees and the 4+1 program that allowed for an accelerated opportunity to get the masters was a great opportunity as it was easy on the wallet, especially as a TA that pair for the year of school. The curriculum was challenging, but not overwhelming, the social life allowed for every individual to find like minded individuals, and the research and networking opportunities is perhaps the...

I attended Arizona State University for my undergrad and am currently enrolled in a Masters program there. Both degrees are in the field of Mechanical Engineering, and I have been extremely satisfied with my experience there thus far. ASU is a wonderful campus full of innovation and an extremely diverse culture. Being such a large school, there is something for everyone there! While it has had a long standing reputation of being a party school, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in... Read More the curriculum to get the most out of your education. And to top it all off, Arizona is a pretty wonderful place to live (omitting the few brutal months of summer heat, but thats what AC is for...)

I liked my undergrad program, and I think getting my masters in a year with the 4+1 program was a great opportunity. Furthermore, the ability to get a masters degree for free by being a TA for a year is a great deal if you can swing it. I did have a few really bad teachers, but I also had some who were amazing. It evened out in the end. I think the biggest issue would be not learning a few skills that are more applicable in industry. GD&T is a good example of this. I think there should be a required...

ASU is a great place to study Mechanical Engineering (or any other type of engineering, for that matter). As with any school, some professors are pretty bad, but overall I found my professors to be very good. More importantly, though, there are great opportunities for supplementing classwork: research (for both undergrads and grads), tons of student orgs, and workshops / networking opportunities / career fairs. And financing your graduate tuition is made a lot easier by their RA/TA opportunities....
