      Pros

      departmental colleagues are great, and I found some fantastic students to mentor during my time here

      Cons

      university administration runs this place like a corporation, and has no appreciation for high quality faculty work. the university committee decided my tenure case based on an intangible gut feeling they had, and ignored the fact that I exceeded all the official requirements. that's right, exceeded

      No good for education or research

      Pros

      Good weather, no calamity, affordable living cost, easy to apply, but there are plenty of scholarship and on-campus work opportunities.

      Cons

      ASU is known as a party school, not a good place to study. I say so become I stay on other university campus including Caltech, UCLA, Berkeley. I can sit quietly in library and learn much more. I don't know. It's like the school culture problem. ASU is not good for research either, with limited equipment. Half of my advisor's funding goes to ASU, and it provides nothing but the name "ASU" and office/lab spaces. As a PhD student, I cost my advisor same amount of money as postdoc, but more than half money goes to ASU again as 'tuition' for which I have not take solid real class. ASU cares more than making money than anything else.

      Pros

      Free Education is nice, for the most part the people are great and there is very little micromanagement, very diversified.

      Cons

      Very Bureaucratic, I have never had any issues with management, I tend to be able to get along with just about anyone, however, if you get on someone in powers bad side, look out.
