Arizona State Uni in Flagstaff: Worth it?

I'm considering Arizona State University, but might prefer a smaller, less hectic environment than a big city. Is their campus in Flagstaff a good option? What's it like over there? Thanks in advance.

You may be mixing up two distinct universities in Arizona. Arizona State University (ASU) is primarily located in Tempe, with several satellite campuses in and around Phoenix, which is indeed a larger city environment.

However, Northern Arizona University (NAU) is what's based in Flagstaff, Arizona, not ASU. In contrast to Phoenix, Flagstaff provides a more relaxed, smaller-town feel, surrounded by nature and outdoor opportunities, including the Grand Canyon and other national parks. It boasts a closer-knit community, less traffic, and a different, more laid-back lifestyle.

If you're drawn to the outdoors and a smaller student body, NAU could be a good choice. NAU offers a wide range of degree programs and has its strengths, particularly in forestry and hotel & restaurant management.

To choose the best option, consider factors such as your intended major, cost of attendance, living costs, size of the student population, faculty-student ratio, campus environment, cultural fit, and internship opportunities.

Visiting both campuses could provide helpful insight and inform your decision. At the end of the day, whether a school is "worth it" depends largely on the student's individual preferences and career goals.
