    Yo Zonies, I was recently accepted to ASU for their online MBA program. I am stoked to be a Sun Devil! :woot:
    Anyway, I have a one week orientation on campus and will be in the area from Jan 9 - Jan 15. I am planning to go to the basketball game on Sunday night. Any suggestions as to what I should check out would be cool. I have heard that its a fun town. I am driving from San Diego.
    Thanks!

    Thanks everyone. But with all the AZ representation on here I would expect more advice. Any restaurant, bars, or anything of that nature that I should check out?

    Just hit up mill, there are a verity of bars/clubs down there, all close together. Then there is scottsdale if you have deep pockets and like dressing up a little, really nice area. Also if you're looking for a bite to eat around campus there is the Chuck Box, awesome burgers.

    Cool, thanks fellas. I will definitely check out mill, Teds Hot Dogs and Chuck Box sounds delish, and we have a Tilted Kilt in SD (very nice establishment :cool:).
    Also, I was looking through Yelp. Anyone been to 4 Peaks Brewing? Sounds like a cool place too.

    Dude take it from someone who is going to ASU...RUN AWAY NOW!

    I hate my school and would never recommend anyone going to this joke of a University.

    Yes I'm jaded and proud of it, but Tempe is a cool place with tons of stuff going on.

    if I had to do it again, I would have gone to NAU.
