Hey, here's a bit of an odd question but I'm a rising junior looking into Arizona State University. One thing that matters to me is the size of the campus; does anyone have an idea of how big it is? I would really appreciate any information!
Arizona State University (ASU) is actually a multi-campus system composed of four campuses spread around Phoenix, Arizona. These include the Tempe campus, the West campus, the Polytechnic campus, and Downtown Phoenix campus.
Here's how they break down:
- Tempe: This is the largest and original campus and covers around 661 acres.
- West: The smallest of the four campuses, the West campus is approximately 277 acres.
- Polytechnic: This campus, located in Mesa, spans about 574 acres.
- Downtown Phoenix: The Downtown Phoenix campus is the most urban and less traditional campus, covering about 20 acres.
Keep in mind that the specific "feel" of each campus might be different based on its environment and specific programs offered, as well as the space itself, so consider these elements as well when thinking about campus size.
Each campus has its unique strengths and programs, so you might want to choose based on the major you're interested in. But no matter which campus you are on, you are still part of the larger ASU system.
