[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with ASU is its out of control Greek and party scene. I grew up in California and it was known at THE wreckless party school. Pretty much everyone I know who went there ended up dropping out due to drugs and partying. It was as bad as UC Santa Barbara, but without the solid academics.

Maybe they’ve tried to fix these issues, I have no idea. But it has a bad reputation for many years. The school was also a major hub of drug activity and trafficking [/quote]

There are no Greek houses anymore. They made frat and sorority villages, Owned by the college.  The party scene has seriously been cut since the early 2000’s. Still fun, but no where near the craziness. The reputation has increased too. But it will never be a hard school to get into. The president is steadfast on allowing as many kids as possible to go there. So instead of making it “reputable” and doing the numbers game, he said he is going to make it accessible. [b]I think another 20K more go there now than 10 years ago.[/b]  [/quote]

Most of the increase is online students and satellite campus students.

[quote]Arizona State University has reached a new milestone this fall, enrolling more than 100,000 students.

Preliminary enrollment figures show [b]ASU has 103,410 students[/b], a 5-percent increase over last year and 40 percent more than five years ago.

But consider this before panic sets in about how many more cars are competing for parking spots:

[b]About 30,000 of those students are enrolled in online-only classes and don't set foot on campus. [/b]

The remaining 72,000 ASU students are mainly spread over five campuses in the metro Phoenix area. Outside the Valley, the smaller ASU Colleges at Lake Havasu City has operated since 2012.

The enrollment increase puts ASU on track to have 125,000 students by 2025, a goal set by the Arizona Board of Regents as part of a strategic plan to increase the percentage of Arizona residents with a college degree.

Tempe remains the largest ASU campus with an enrollment of 51,600. [/quote] [b][Think it was about 40k when I went there.][/b][/quote]
