    I went to ASU and yes, back in the dark ages the chicks were SMOKIN Hot!!!

    Plus you get all the surrounding areas, desert, tall pines, Grand Canyon, Mogion Rim, Rocky Pt Mexico, Strawberry, White mountains, tubing - I remember the first mobile drunk tank! - It's great and centrally located. I hear theres a University somewhere south of Tempe, I think it maybe in Eloy... IDK - Sorry Cliff!:eek:

    Also regarding those ASU cops - I was arrested and unarrested one time and they reminded me that they were STATE POLICE! :rolleyes:

    Can't go wrong. Just don't shoot the saguaros - I remember a rash of saguaros being shot down... until one guy died after it crushed him. That's what he gets for picking on an old man!!!

    I just did a lot of research and found that a degree from ASU was viewed as pretty weak. Again, I'm not bashing ASU cause I love it, but that is just what I found it to be. I ended up staying in state and I'm currently in my Freshman year at the University of South Carolina. It depends what you are going to study too. I was going to do Physics and their program their wasn't that good.

    My gf went to Notre Dame and thought I was lying about the hotness of the girls of ASU and googled "university with the hottest girls"

    This is what we found - 1st listing.... ANY QUESTIONS?

    from Hottest Student Bodies: The 50 Best Colleges Ranked By Looks: 1-10
    1. Arizona State University
    [​IMG]

    When first making this list, USC was slotted in at the top, but after doing some research it became clear that Arizona State was going to have to be #1. Arizona State girls seemingly go to great lengths at sporting events to outdo one another when it comes to hotness, which is great since we all benefit from their competitiveness. A website/calendar company called Tempe12 started by selling a calendar filled with hot Arizona State women out of a guy’s bedroom, and was so successful its now a large and thriving business. That tells you everything you need to know.

    I'm planning on studying business or engineering... still haven't decided yet. If I do go the business route, I'll probably go for an MBA.

    The girls look HOT

    Pros: Good lookin women, the weather, nightlife, hot chicas, off road trails, lakes, a lot of tacoma fans, sporting events, and some more hotties

    Cons: Scottsdale, Parking passes for 500+, service charges for credits you're already paying for, horrible sport teams, and a school president with an ego that is out of control.

    Conclusion: Good school if you have the money and focus to get through it

    Another good point, if ever playing BP, DO NOT drink from the cups. Play with water and have a beer set aside.

    I don't really care much for the sports teams... :anonymous:
    Or school presidents.

    As for parking, turns out a lot of the apartments near the school have parking garages.

    What's wrong with Scottsdale?

    Let me try and summarize Scottsdale for you (there are a few exceptions)...

    Have you ever heard of the term 30k millionaire? Well it was developed to descibe many of the residents of Scottsdale. People who live the champagne lifestyle on beer money (a lifestyle way in excess of their earning). And they'll look down their noses at you if you're from one of the other cities in the valley, as if to say 'so you couldn't afford to live in Scottsdale'.

    Most of the rest of the population of Scottsdale have got money, but are very showy with it and complete snobs.
