23 Questions I Have For Arizona State University
Education At Work

ASU is the biggest college campus in the US--we talk about everything from how to survive as a freshman to missing ASU over break, we have some questions about our beloved school.

1. Why is the Sundevil our mascot?

Don’t get me wrong, I love Sparky and I bleed maroon and gold. I’m just curious as to how we ended up with a “sundevil,” rather than say, I don’t know, a normal animal?


2. Is there a rule that there must always be some sort of construction or renovation happening?

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the campus construction-free.


3. Why do you let Brother Dean on campus?

We all know he’s just an annoying and whiny bigot.


4. Also, who is the guy that would come preach in a boy scout outfit?

I mean I’m sure he’s related to Brother Dean somehow, he was just as annoying.


5. Do you ever feel bad for how much money we have to spend on textbooks?

Let’s be real, half the time we don’t have to use a book for more than a chapter or two of it, and yet, I’m spending $200 on each one.


6. Who came up with the name “The Secret Garden” and why?

After all, there’s nothing secret about it.


7. Was the Barrett dining hall designed to look like Hogwarts?

C’mon, we all see the resemblance.


8. Will there ever be a day that the ASU alerts are sent out for something important?

Listen, we really need to have a talk about the number of emails we get every month about bees on the West campus.

9. Why are we called a dry campus?

We all know that’s far from the truth.


10. Why is the WiFi so bad?

Please, from every student to have ever attended ASU, fix the internet connection.


11. Will you really pay our tuition if we get run over by a car on campus?

Asking for a friend, of course.


12. When are we getting a frat row again?

Seriously, we’re all waiting.


13. Can we renovate some of the buildings please?

It’s not fair that some of the buildings are nice and new (looking at you, McCord Hall) but the rest are run-down.


14. How do you decide who gets to register for classes first?

This is a process that confuses us all.


15. Why did we need a new Palm Walk?

My heart aches for the beautiful old one we had.


16. Also, were our tuitions really raised FOR the new Palm Walk?

That’s what the rumor mill is saying.


17. How often do you get complains from Uber or Lyft drivers about ASU students?

If there is any one universal truth, it’s that every one of them probably hates driving ASU students… especially on the weekends.


18. Why maroon and gold?

Somehow, you’d think it’d be red and yellow.


19. Why 6 a.m for registration?

I’m convinced you get some joy of out watching students stress out over classes every semester.


20. Why are food and drinks allowed in Hayden Library but not Computing Commons?

Seriously, I don’t understand the logic behind this one.


21. Why did you shut down the Taco Bell in the Memorial Union?

I’m still mourning that one. RIP MU Taco Bell.


22. Why is the 4th Floor of McCord Hall so mysterious and hard to get to?

Rumors are, there’s unicorns and witchcraft up there.


23. Will you let me stay here forever?

Despite the 22 questions above this sounding like complaints, there is no place I’d rather be than Arizona State University. I might still be several semesters away from graduating, but I already dislike the thought of leaving this place I now call home.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
