Asu Student Experience

Improved Essays
Education in college goes beyond the walls of the classroom and the skills you are learning for your future profession, it’s a time for students to experience the world on their own and make discoveries in new environments.

In addition, the ASU Art Museum, which is part of the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, is a great way to experience culture and still be in your comfort zone on campus. The museum aims “to be a meeting point for the exchange of new ideas, perspectives and experiences among artists, students and the public through our exhibitions, residencies, collections and programs,” according to its mission statement.

These are only two ways students can become diverse in the surrounding culture of the ASU campuses and gain awareness of their surroundings. However, the access to culture doesn’t stop there.

The ASU Library participates in the Culture Pass Program, which allows students to check out Culture Passes at any of ASU’s four libraries and grants them access to a museum or exhibit in the surrounding area. Through this program, students can explore the Arizona Science Center, Desert Botanical Garden, the Challenger Space Center and many more institutes for free.

The anticipation bubbling up inside of me was exciting and rooted with a little nervousness.

    Honestly, I am an undergrad student at MCPHS-Boston, and to tell you the truth, unless you are naturally intelligent, and/or willing to make big sacrifices and go through hard struggles, this college is not for you. I am not telling you this because I am not a hard working, unmotivated, or lazy student, who is angry at the school for receiving bad grades. It is more because I have experienced this school and have found out many things that would have made me not come here in the first place had I known before. The main thing that comes to mind here is that this school is ALL ABOUT YOUR MONEY. Which is why they have such a high acceptance rate.…

    I have always had a passion for history and storytelling since I was a child and decided in seventh grade world history class that I wanted to be an archaeologist, discovering ancient cultures and uncovering their secrets.

Therefore, I decided to change my major to art history, while retaining an archaeology minor, and explore history through the lens of artist’s interpretations and ideas.…
