Tempe is vibrant, diverse and progressive. A key factor in Tempe's lifestyle is Arizona State University (ASU). ASU, located in the heart of Tempe, started out as a small teaching college in 1885 and has grown into the largest university in the nation, with several campuses spread throughout the metropolitan area. The largest of these campuses is the Tempe ASU Campus, a square-mile center of knowledge and cultural experience.
A major part of the ASU experience and unique culture tied to the Tempe area is the loyalty that exists for the Arizona State University athletics department and teams. Whether the students are on the field or in the stands, the excitement and enthusiasm for Arizona State University athletics cannot be missed.
There are many reasons why students choose ASU. Scholastically, it has something to offer everyone; highly ranked colleges, first-class faculty members, and the fact that it is well on its way to becoming a First Tier Research Institution. Culturally, with students from over 147 countries and hundreds of cities across the United States, students will mature and thrive in a rich, diverse environment. Each year, ASU continues to evolve with new programs, new facilities and new students.
Because of the exceptional development that ASU has experienced, the main campus in Tempe has become one of the most active and exciting places to be. To witness the ASU culture, reserve a nearby Arizona State University hotel room, stroll down Mill Avenue, attend a game, or go to a concert at Gammage Auditorium and enjoy everything that ASU has to offer.
