ASU 101 >>> One University, Many Campuses Maria Portillo • College Times At a university as big as ASU, you have to have a mantra that fits. “One university in many places,” is a phrase you’ll hear often, since ASU has one main campus with four “branch” campuses. ASU has a presence in almost all parts of metro Phoenix, with over 76,000 graduate and undergraduate students enrolled for the 2014-2015 school year. So which campus will be your home? Read more about the personality of each location in this guide.
Downtown Campus

Tempe Campus
West Campus Polytechnic Campus

Downtown Campus
Polytechnic Campus
West Campus
The Tempe campus, aka the main campus, is the most crowded location and, depending whom you ask, the most fun. Filled with sun-kissed sorority girls and frat boys, engineering geniuses and brilliant art students, this energetic campus offers a place for everyone. Tempe is ASU’s original college town, with scenic views that include Tempe Beach Park, Sun Devil Stadium and Mill Avenue. Home to over eight colleges, the Tempe campus offers the largest variety of classes, from education and sustainability to engineering. Home to Barrett, The Honors College, Tempe is a place for the brainiacs, too. The volleyball courts, barbeque grills, computer labs, group study rooms, community spaces and landscaped courtyards make it a college stereotype in the best way. When you are not hiking “A” Mountain or rowing in Tempe Town Lake, you can enjoy all the food, nightlife and people on Mill Avenue, a cultural center in the heart of Tempe, mere steps away from campus.
If there is one ASU campus that gets down to business, it’s the Downtown campus. The Downtown campus is located in the heart of Arizona’s capital, Phoenix, and offers a taste of the real world work force. Its purpose is to make strong connections with all students interested in media, healthcare and government. This busy campus is home to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, the College of Nursing and Health Innovation and the College of Health Solutions. The campus is also future home of the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. There are two types of students you will see: the alternative, glasses-wearing, laptopwielding folks and the overtly confident tennis shoe-sporting, gallon-of-waterdrinking yoga pant enthusiasts. This is how you know you are downtown, where productiveness finds a kinship between jock and nerdy. Surrounded by an urban backdrop, this campus offers an array of ethnic food for more experienced taste buds, as well as chain favorites for those just starting to broaden their horizons.
The Polytechnic campus looks like it came out of a college movie scene. It might be the prettiest campus, and the curriculum and amenities offered look too-good-to-be-true, too. This hightech facility is perfect for project-based learning. It is technology and innovation that set this campus apart from the rest. Thousands of square feet of laboratory space make way for flight simulators, a semiconductor fabrication lab, a state-ofthe-art gold simulator and a consumer behavior research lab. This is a place where your professors know you by name. Plus, smaller class sizes mean you’ll have the chance to get to know other students in an intimate atmosphere. This is also one of the quieter campuses, so if you just want to hunker down without the rest of the “college experience,” this might be the campus for you. Don’t underestimate Polytechnic for its lack of noise. Appreciate it, because that is what makes it so unique.
The West campus is the home of liberal arts degrees with a feel that matches its focus. This campus has the feel of a private liberal arts school with the resources of a large university— the best of both worlds! With similar intimacy to the Polytechnic campus, the 9,000 student West campus offers degree programs from the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College and the W.P. Carey School of Business. The ideal melding of arts and sciences, you’re bound to make friends from all walks of life who are serious about their studies. Again, like the Polytechnic campus, this campus is a little quiet, but if you’re not out for the raucous party scene of the Tempe campus, West might be a great option to fulfill your academic potential.

Lily Lieberman • College Times The “I’m Shmacked” videos may suggest otherwise with their wild, EDM-throbbing clips, but ASU is more than just a party school. With the unofficial motto “turn up or transfer,” Sun Devils are known across the country and even overseas for, ahem, making the most of their college experience. It’s no secret ASU loves to party. But what may be a bit of a secret is that ASU is a nationally recognized university for the diverse awards and accolades it has received. The university ranks fifth on a list of the top universities favored by employers for job recruiting, according to a survey conducted by the Wall Street Journal. ASU is one of the top schools with majors that best prepare students “to land jobs that are satisfying, well-paid and have growth potential.” ASU is ranked 73rd in the world and 46th in the nation by the Center for World University Rankings. It may not seem very high, but the organization evaluated more than 16,000 universities, taking into account faculty members, published research and quality of education. ASU is also ranked 25th among all public U.S. universities. U.S. News & World Report ranked ASU second on the list of schools that are making the most promising and innovative changes in the areas of academics, faculty and student life. As a leader in student entrepreneurship, community partnerships and degrees in emerging fields, ASU is continually ranked as a high-achieving school. The Princeton Review has placed ASU in the top 15 percent of all four-year colleges

in America. So what is ASU doing to earn all of this recognition? Four ASU startup companies will show their businesses at the 5th annual Education Innovation Summit. One concept called the Embodied Games for Learning Lab combines digital technology with physical movement to create mixed-reality games that help middle school students learn STEM concepts. Another is conducting a pilot study of its software in partnership with the Writing Programs in ASU’s Department of English. ASU’s entrepreneurship is astounding, with the most recent news being blind student Bryan Duarte’s visual-assistance app, Qwik Eyes, which would connect blind or low-vision smartphone users with qualified professionals via video call. ASU also has nationally recognized colleges like Barrett Honors College, W.P. Carey School of Business and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The latter two recently hired Jeff Cunningham, the former publisher of Forbes and founder of Directorship Magazine, as a faculty member teaching entrepreneurship and the business of news media. Cronkite NewsWatch, an award-winning 30-minute newscast produced by advanced broadcast students, consistently wins national awards. In 2013, it was named “Best Newscast” at the national Emmy Foundation’s 2013 College Television Awards. ASU is also ranked number two in the nation for the best online graduate business programs. Sun Devils truly embody the old work hard, play hard adage.

Why ASU is more than just a party school
An ASU student throws up a pitchfork after making his mark during the back-to-school whitewash of the “A” on Hayden Butte in Tempe.
Bleed Maroon and Gold: ASU traditions you should know Ana Anguiano • College Times Arizona State University is the home of maroon and gold Sun Devils that defy nature by flourishing in the desert. It’s a funny school with even weirder alumni, but if you want to fit in, there are several cool and quirky traditions you should know about. And if you come from a long line of Sun Devils, you probably know more about the smaller traditions, but we’re going to stick to our favorites. Making a pitchfork with your hand That’s right, people. The official hand signal for ASU is a pitchfork and nothing else, no matter what anyone else tells you. Their minds are in the gutter because obviously, hand signals mean nothing. Still, it’s pretty important to execute it correctly. Put your thumb on your ring finger, make a peace sign, pretend it’s a trident and hush anyone who says otherwise. Painting the “A” “A” Mountain, aka Hayden Butte, is a great source of pride for ASU students and Tempe residents. The letter shines in the distance on Mill Avenue and the mountain is always covered in hikers that have no patience for real hiking and just want to get sunset selfies. But you are made to invest in the “A” as a freshman, when they bus students from all four campuses to paint the “A” white. It all comes full circle when the seniors paint it gold before the first football game of the year. It’s a nice tradition, but it will make you rage when other teams sneak up and paint it (defile it!) any other color.
We like feeling superior to The University of Arizona They are a fine school with lovely students, but if you want to be a Sun Devil, you are going to have to talk some trash occasionally. You can still have friends in Tucson, but come Territorial Cup time, we cannot condone your fraternizing with the enemy. Please only refer to them at kitties with soft features and adorable kitten tendencies. Got UofA alumni in the family? That tailgate is going to get heated. Sparky does pushups ASU football games have a laundry list of traditions that anyone can easily follow along with simply by observing the rest of the student section. However, one of the best ASU traditions that never ceases to entertain us is when Sparky does pushups. We really do love Sparky (he’s on our cover, after all) but seeing him do numerous pushups in hot August afternoons with limited ventilation is astounding. Pat’s Run One of the coolest traditions that takes place at ASU is the Pat’s Run, named for former football player Pat Tillman, who gave up his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals to fight in the Marines post-9/11. Every spring, runners from all over the country come to Tempe to honor Tillman and raise money for Tillman Military Scholars. The run is 4.2 miles and it ends on the 42-yard line in Sun Devil Stadium, numbers symbolic of Tillman’s #42 jersey. The community comes together to remember a local legend and to support one another, which is all you can ask of a tradition.

What to expect from your first ASU football game Lily Lieberman • College Times Your first college football game is sort of like anticipating your first kiss: It usually goes a lot smoother in your head. Knowing exactly what you’re getting yourself into can be helpful, especially when 70,000 sweaty, screaming fans are involved. The cool part? Unlike a first kiss, you can count on the sparks to fly (there are fireworks)! Here’s a breakdown of everything you should know before you hit the stands. Getting your tickets Ticket sales open up online super early—like 6 a.m. early—a few days before the game. You’ll want to wake up before the masses to snag a good section. Make sure you buy the tickets with the people you want to sit with. There’s nothing worse than texting your BFF from a different section when we score a touchdown. If you do get separated, it’s no biggie. Sun Devils are in their friendliest state at the games. Fans will chat you up during time outs. Standing the whole time Get ready to test your stamina. This is no time for leisure, my friend. Apparently those things we sane people like to sit on (aka bleachers) were made so that you could stand on top of them, which is a perfect waste of a seating arrangement in the name of school spirit. Therefore comfortable shoes are a must, as is hydrating. The heat The desert sun is not kind during football season. Lather up with SPF or suffer the consequences.
The buzz wears off Tailgating is a rite of passage for the collegiate masses. Avoiding the halftime hangover is pretty impossible with the dry heat and standing room only. The end of the second quarter is the time for a water break. Hydration keeps the headache from creeping up. Early wake up calls Games may not start until the afternoon, but pre-gaming begins at 8 a.m. Your overly excited friends will wake you up early. Try to feign excitement. Traditions Everyone jingles their keys and yells guttural noises until the ball is kicked at every kickoff. Why? Google tells us it’s because the team is about to make a “key” play. You’ll also want to master the pitchfork sign. As far as chanting goes, you can get away with mouthing the words, but you may want to look those up as well before you get there. Yelling with your fellow Devils really is a bonding experience. If you aren’t wearing maroon or gold, you can’t sit with us Buy at least one piece of fan wear. Wearing blue is hard to live down. You WILL be ostracized. Everyone is a fan You may not follow the Sun Devils off-season or know the name of the quarterback, but as soon as game day comes around, you are the team’s biggest fan. You will scream. You will cry. You might even lose your voice. Just don’t lose your cool if we lose.
ASU for newbs: The answers to your most basic questions Jorge Salazar • College Times
you a nice chunk of your grade.
Getting into college is the easy part. (Well, relatively easy if you managed not to fail out of high school and were somehow able to afford tuition.) Thriving during your undergrad career is another story. As a freshman, it’s expected that many of the terms you’ll hear floating between upperclassmen will initially leave a question mark floating over your head. Have no fear! We’re here to answer some popular newbie questions, to make sure you’re properly prepared to take on ASU.
“What’s a clicker?” Before you start thinking you’re slick, let us tell you: Professor’s are keenly aware most students are browsing their Facebook page instead of paying attention to class. And regardless of what you’ve heard, many still take attendance. In order to test you, many ASU professors have started using the clicker system. Students must carry electronic clickers with them to class, which they will be prompted to use at certain moments during the lecture. While simple, this can be reflected in your grade as either attendance or participation points, so make sure you’re not ditching.
“What is Blackboard?” Blackboard will be your worst enemy during your collegiate experience. There, we said it. The online portal is used by almost all ASU courses to turn in assignments, take tests and (quite possibly, the worst part of college) submit discussion board posts. While the interface is easy to use, just ask any upperclassmen about their experience and they will let you know that Blackboard crashes are an expected nightmare. Heed our advice and don’t leave class work until the last minute. You might just miss your deadline. “What’s a Blue Book?” Blue Books are thin, blue-covered books filled with lined paper. They are readily available at the campus bookstore and are used by many professors for in-class assignments and exams. They’re usually used for essays during such examinations, which is why you should stock up if you’re using them for multiple classes. You never want to forget the materials that could cost
“What’s an MIP?” This one’s more of a warning. MIP stands for a Minor in Possession of Alcohol violation. We get that you’ll want to make the most of your newfound freedom, but ASU has a three-tier system when dealing with code of conduct violators, which means you’ll be facing the Office of Student Life Student Rights and Responsibilities, University Housing and ASU Police. And that’s a lot scarier than your parents breathing down your neck. “What’s a Student Success Center?” If Blackboard is going to be your worst enemy, the Student Success Center is going to be your best friend. Chances are that at some point you’re going to get overwhelmed with a full schedule of classes. The Success Center helps you deal with them by providing peer-to-peer tutoring, math labs and writing support. 2014 FRESHMAN GUIDE 11

Level-up your meal plan:
Breakfast, Lunch and Dessert
Pizza-Salad Double Dec
Claire Cleveland • College Times
ker
It’s a fact: You’re going to be sick of the offerings your food plan allows you to “enjoy.” (Really, how many times can you reach for plain ol’ cereal.) You might not have the cash for those delicious fast food offerings at the Memorial Union, so there has to be a better way. We created our own recipes from the cafeteria line to pimp yo’ meal plan.
Cereal Cone
Pizza-Salad Double Decker Fruit and Waffles
Take two pieces of pizza from the pizza station, put lettuce and the toppings of your choice on each slice. Stack them and then cover in your favorite dressing. Just like the Italians make! (OK, so it’s a bastardization of an entire culture, but it tastes pretty good.)
Fruit and Waffles
Make a fresh waffle at the waffle station. (Batter is provided and machines are already turned on.) Once finished, finish off the waffle with your choice of butter, maple syrup and top with fruit, almonds and toasted coconut. Finish it off with whipped cream. It’s dessert for breakfast, but no one will call you out on it. Close your eyes and pretend you’re at a fresh, local breakfast joint.
12 2014 FRESHMAN GUIDE
Cereal Cone
Simply make yourself an ice cream cone and get a small bowl of cereal, no milk. Roll the ice-cream in the cereal and enjoy. Other toppings include dried fruit and nuts from the salad station. (If gourmet pastry chefs can use cereal, you can too. There’s no shame in it, so eat up!)

The Basics >>>
Register for classes like an upperclassman Jorge Salazar • College Times You’re probably worrying about the prospect of having to make new friends, whether your roommate is going to be a total psycho or not, and how you’re going to make the trek from the dorms to a building on the opposite side of campus in the Arizona summer without dehydrating. Of course these are all very valid concerns for an incoming freshman, yet there is one that should be taking precedent over them: your schedule. A college schedule can shape the way you experience the undergrad adventure. Here are some tips to make sure you pick the right schedule to get your college career off to a great start. Do it early Procrastinating on scheduling your classes ends up pretty much the same as when you put off your homework assignments. Waiting until the last minute very rarely results in your best work. One thing to take into consideration is that classes fill up fast. If you take too long, you might miss your chance at a spot in that elective you had your eye on. Review your major map If you’re lucky, you will walk out of your advisor’s office feeling like you’ve been given all the answers. If you haven’t been able to snag an appointment before class registration starts, hope is not lost. One of the great things about the resources available through your My ASU portal (my. asu.edu) is that your major map is easily

accessible online. It will let you know what classes are needed, so picking is no longer a guessing game. Mix it up While you want to make sure you start on the right track with the recommended courses on your major map, don’t be afraid to mix it up. Make sure to sign up for a class that interests you outside of your major and seems relatively easy. This class can become a breath of fresh air when the more stressful periods of your first semester start (aka the dreaded midterms and finals). You’ll be glad you chose something that serves as an escape from the hubbub. Don’t overbook A twelve-credit course load is enough work on its own. College classes are, more often than not, exponentially more work than what you’ve experienced in high school, and don’t forget you’ll hopefully be juggling school with extracurricular activities and a social life. Too much on your plate can have negative effects, not only on your stress levels, but also on your GPA. Take a writing class Be prepared, because the more you advance through your major, the more you will be expected to write. Be it a thesis or just another report, your writing skills will be on display during most of your college career. Do yourself a favor and take a writing class to avoid having the dreaded red pen notations adorn everything you turn in.
Dorm laundry tips for when mom can’t help Claire Cleveland • College Times OK, kiddos. The very first lesson to be learned before you come to college is how to do your own laundry. Washers and dryers are neither scary nor complicated pieces of machinery, so figure it out before flying the nest. Once you have figured out how to do it, follow these guidelines in the least painful and most cleanly way possible. You are going to be sharing a laundry room with two washers and two dryers with the 50 to100 other people on your floor, so be cool and plan ahead. Buy high efficiency laundry detergent and use sparingly Cleaner clothes are not the result of a lot of soap, which may seem like the logical conclusion, but we assure you it’s not. Most of the washers and dryers on ASU campus are high efficiency (part of ASU’s environmentally-conscious initiatives), so they save energy and water, which means they use HE detergent. You need very little detergent, so follow the directions for high efficiency washer use. If you use too much detergent, it can leave your clothes sudsy and the washer doesn’t fully rinse itself out, so then the next person has to deal with it. Clean more than just clothes There is nothing more annoying than coming into the laundry room just to slip and crack your tailbone on some knucklehead’s spilled detergent. It’s also gross when you want to put your clothes in the washer, but that same person has spilled their detergent all over the
detergent basin and the top of the washer. Clean up, empty the lint tray (Yes, that is a thing that should be done every load. Your clothes will not dry if it is full.) and put your dryer sheets in the trash. Set a timer and retrieve your clothes promptly This is not the home sweet home where you can abandon your clothes for days. There are a lot of people living on your floor who also need to have clean clothes and bed linens, so get your laundry as soon as it’s done. Having to move other people’s underwear is uncomfortable to say the least, and it leaves you vulnerable to having your clothes stolen or “misplaced.” You don’t want to come across as the spoiled brat whose mommy had to send them all new clothes after someone tosses your wardrobe out of frustration. Lint roll your clothes Have you ever been swimming and what feels like creepy eel slides across your hand, but when you pull it out of the water only you realize it is a very long, very dark, tangled hair clump gripping your hand for dear life? It is easy to fix. Lint roll your clothes before you take them off and put them in the hamper to avoid getting hair in the washer. Pre-rinse any exceptionally dirty items Whether it’s grossness from a party or mud from a hike, pre-rinse your super dank and dirty clothes before putting them in the community washer. No one should have to open a washer that still has the smell of puke in it.

School Sprawl: Getting around from campus to campus Ana Anguiano • College Times Arizona State University is the largest university in the U.S. with over 76,000 students. That’s a mind-blowing number if you think about even half of them trying to get to class on time. Your major will also decide your campus, which is unfortunate for students that want to take classes in Tempe or Downtown Phoenix but live at West or Polytechnic. Public transportation is not exactly one of ASU’s strong points, but they do their best to allow students to get from campus to campus relatively stress free. We aren’t saying it’s not a pain, but it is possible. There are a variety of ways to get around, but in a sprawling city like Phoenix, you have to find the right transportation that will suit your route, schedule and budget. Your own car Most students would have their own car in college if they could. There is nothing like the freedom of having your own form of transportation, even if it turns you into a chauffeur when everyone gets hungry past midnight. But this option is by far the most expensive form of transportation there is. The price for a simple ASU parking pass ranges from $210 to $780, and that doesn’t take into account how difficult it is to find a spot during the day. Certain parking pass owners will also be severely inconvenienced by game days and other big ASU events that change parking parameters. Gas, insurance, maintenance and hot steering wheels only add to the cost and inconvenience, so unless you absolutely need it, we recommend leaving your car at home.
ASU campus shuttles If you just want to get from one campus to another, by far the best option is the campus shuttles. They do not come as often as you might like, but they are straight shots between campuses and they are only available to ASU students. They get crowded at times, but if you can find a seat, they are clean, comfortable and relatively speedy. The gold route goes between Polytechinic and Tempe while the Maroon route goes from West to Downtown Phoenix to Tempe. Light Rail The Light Rail is a rite of passage. You have to get on it to really appreciate just what it’s all about. It is relatively cheap at $4 for an all-day pass, but the Light Rail operates on the honor system, so seeing others get on for free can be pretty annoying. If you commute mainly between Tempe and Downtown Phoenix and it’s going to be your main form of transportation, you should consider purchasing a U-Pass, which gives you unlimited access from August 16 to May 15, 2015. It doesn’t come cheap at $200, but it eventually becomes more cost effective than $4 everyday. City buses The Valley Metro busses can get you almost everywhere you need to go, but they are anything but speedy. They are great for getting you closer to off-campus spots like internships and friends’ houses, but if you want to make it anywhere punctually, you have to give yourself plenty of buffer time. Depending on where you go, you might also need to make several bus changes. Use the city bus as a last resort.

How to save money on textbooks Jorge Salazar • College Times It is a universally acknowledged truth that college textbooks are offensively expensive. Tuition is costly enough, so we can completely understand if you have to do a double take when browsing the list of required reading materials for your classes. The sad thing is that, like a car being driven off the lot, the value of your books takes a nosedive as soon as the semester starts and the return period expires. Selling back your books for a fraction of what you bought them for is a soul crushing experience. Forgo dropping a car payment’s worth of dough on a book that you most likely won’t use. These tips will save some serious cash. Old and used versions While many professors will request the latest version of a textbook for class, the truth is that there are not many changes between two consecutive editions. While there may be changes in the structure of your textbook (we’re talking about page numbers and photos), the majority of the material is retained and reused. Furthermore, you can also buy used textbooks. While there isn’t much money to save by buying old books from your college bookstore, take a gander online to find great savings through sites like Amazon and eBay. Rent If you ask current college students what textbooks they’ve purchased that were actually of worth to them once their class was complete, you can watch the color drain from their face.
Instead of investing in eventual heartbreak, bypass ownership and stop buying. There are gobs of online services that allow you to rent textbooks each semester at a fraction of the cost. Check out sites like Chegg, Valore and BookRenter for your renting needs. E-books Aside from the weighing on your finances, textbooks also weigh on your back. Literally. There’s no secondhand pain like the one you’ll experience watching a fellow student walking around campus looking like some human/turtle hybrid courtesy of a giant shell of a backpack. Thankfully, textbooks can now be accessed from the comparatively lighter method of the web. CourseSmart.com and Amazon’s Kindle service offer textbooks straight to your laptop through downloadable PDF files. They also have a tablet and smartphone apps. Copy what you need Spoiler Alert! You will more than likely not be reading the entirety of your textbooks. You’ll be lucky to cover half of the textbook in class as your professor skips complete chapters in favor of his own PowerPoint presentations. Many students are not aware that your college library has a majority of the books your classes will require. While it may take a bit more planning and effort, making copies of books can be the least pricey option when it comes to getting your hands on textbook material. 2014 FRESHMAN GUIDE 17

THE BASICS
Jorge Salazar • College Times Many people have the skewed perception that being a college student automatically means living through your collegiate experience as an adult child, forever stressing over a dangerously low bank account and being forced to scavenge for sustenance. While it may be true for the experience of many, avoiding a seat on the struggle bus for the duration of your college experience is not an unattainable fantasy. Nevertheless, the freedom of living away from home and the supervision of the parents, plus finally being in charge of your own spending, can be overwhelming for many. The thing is, it can be easy to lose count of how often you’re swiping your debit card and have each little transaction add up to a scary amount. By working with cash, you can withdraw a budgeted amount of money you will use on a weekly basis from your account. Seeing your funds physically disappear will have you thinking twice about going for that extra pricey latte. Credit cards are a necessary evil for some students. Building good credit is important when you eventually do other big kid things like apply for a car or home loan. But many college students use credit cards as extensions of their checking accounts, which can quickly get out of hand. To manage your credit card efficiently, only use it on purchases that would normally put stress on your
bank account. If you plan on carrying a balance, avoid paying interest on something as silly as a pack of candy. But ideally you’d be paying off the bill in full each month, avoiding interest all together. For now, use your credit card as your backup plan. The students you see walking around campus in yoga pants and basketball shorts were freshmen once too. Sometime between move-in date and finals of first semester, almost everybody stops trying to look like a fashionista. So don’t break the bank trying to get the flashiest wardrobe and take advantage of all the secondhand shops, which carry unique items at bargain prices. Television programs always show young adults getting their grub on at fancy restaurants and hip coffee shops, so it’s not hard to see why a lot of college students try to emulate it in their daily lives. What these shows don’t tell you is how fast the costs of eating out can rack up. While eating in a cafeteria everyday isn’t exciting, think of your ASU meal plan as a year of food expenses you do not have to worry about on a day-to-day basis. If you want to mix it up, grab your friends, hit the grocery store and throw a dinner party. It’ll be a fraction of the cost and a more memorable experience.

Money tips for your new independent life
Stay safe on and around campus Claire Cleveland • College Times ASU is a fairly safe place to be, but it is important to remember that even when you’re on campus, you’re not totally insulated from the rest of the world, and you certainly are not insulated from your own bad decisions. Be smart, be safe and take these tips into consideration. They just might save your butt one of these days. Keep your eyes peeled One of the biggest mistakes students make is looking down at their phone. If you are hyper-focused on Instagram rather than your surroundings, you’re more vulnerable to an attack, which could be anything from your friend scaring the bejesus out of you to someone with malicious intent. So keep your head up and focus on what’s around you. This goes for the daytime, too. If you pay attention to your surroundings you will be better equipped to avoid unwanted confrontations. Travel in groups Three pairs of eyes will certainly see more than one. If you can avoid traveling alone on campus at night, do it. ASU becomes pretty desolate at night, and wouldn’t you rather have a friend to walk with rather than being alone in those creepy walkways? Sometimes just having a friend with you to chat as you walk is all you need. Your combined presence is more of a deterrent for anyone looking to start trouble. Don’t let strangers into your residence hall There is a reason that you need a key card
and a key to get through the residential buildings on campus. It keeps students inside safe from those who may want to wander in. This especially important if the bystander looks at all suspicious or if they don’t look college age. You will hear stories of individuals causing problems in residential buildings, so don’t be the one who let them in. And for that matter, keep the door to your room locked, too, just in case. Don’t be a daredevil on your bike or longboard This advice will become much more apparent when you finally start attending school and try to walk around the Tempe campus. You will have to avoid and witness several collisions between those on bikes and skateboards—It’s the reason why ASU had to enacted walk-only zones. Yes, you have to get to class on time, and yes, you’re a great long boarder, but the walkways are packed. Be courteous and either take another route or go slow enough that people who are walking can see you coming before it’s too late. Don’t get crazy drunk at a party We recognize that you want to have fun, and for possibly the first time in your life, you are finally free from your parents’ rules, but getting blackout drunk and trying to find your way back to your dorm is flat out dangerous. Even if your dorm is only a few streets away from wherever you’re partying, it puts you at risk of being hit by a car. Don’t be that person. Be responsible.

Hey, Roomie! Finding the right roommate and ditching the bad ones Lily Lieberman • College Times Among the many stresses of the college application process (the tedious application essays, the deadlines that seem to perfectly coincide with physics unit tests…) you find yourself at the end of this long journey anxiously sifting through loads of college junk mail to find the Holy Grail: an acceptance letter. But what happens after you’ve picked the perfect college? It’s time to find a roommate! This is where online roommate matchmaking services RoomSurf come into play. Since you’ll most likely be sharing a 10 by 10 room with this rando for the next nine months, we’ve gathered some tips and tricks to help you sort out the nutcases from the cool kids. And who knows, maybe they’ll end up being a friend that lasts a lifetime. STEP 1: Sign up with Facebook Pick the perfect profile picture. Your Facebook pro pic is your RoomSurf picture when you first make the account, but you can upload another and change it if you want. Make yourself look attractive by using something classy, yet intriguing. Let people know your interests. If you’re taking guitar lessons, share a picture of yourself strumming on your Les Paul.

All you have picked the perfect college? stalked to do is make it personal. Once you’ve made contact, just sit back, take a deep It’s time to find a roombreath and hope you’ve found your perfect match. mate! Prom pictures are alright, party pics are definite no-nos and selfies should be avoided. Don’t attempt to put up a front and be something you’re not. If you do try to present an image that’s larger-than-life, proceed with caution; other savvy kiddos are doing the same thing. STEP 2: Take the survey Roomsurf matches you on five different levels: cleanliness, personality, habits, gender and personal beliefs. Each section allows you to not only describe the way you live, but pick how you’d like your roommate to live as well. For instance, you keep a messy house but want a friend that will keep his/hers neat and tidy? Not a problem. Select the option that this is an important aspect in your decision-making process and pray you get a personal housekeeper.
The personal beliefs section gets tricky. It’s tempting to pick the beliefs that most closely match our own, but don’t. Since you’re losing the randomness of being stuck with an unknown roommate, you’re also missing out on the chance to get to know a different type of person. Add a bit of serendipity to the mix and select “all beliefs” as your preference for a roommate. The best part? If you don’t like who you’re matched up with or you change your mind about what you value, you can always retake the survey and explore other matches. STEP 3: Start searching for the perfect roommate There are plenty of fish in the sea, so don’t settle until you find the one. It’s time to go back to Facebook and make the first move by adding your potential
STEP 4: Move in Organize who will be bring what things to the mix like furniture, appliances and more. Set specific boundaries up front. Don’t want them busting into your room? Ask them to knock. Make a chore list to make sure things around the apartment get done in a not-disgusting manner. Take turns taking out the trash, cleaning the toilet and vacuuming to maintain roomie harmony. STEP 5: Ditch ‘em if needed If you find out once you move in that you can’t stand the sight of your roommate’s face, look for alternatives. You can break your lease, but at a huge financial penalty. Your best option is to have someone else take over your lease, saving the apartment complex and your wallet the financial burden. The roommate from hell is their problem now! Suckerrrrr.

Don’t waste away: Avoiding the pitfalls of college Jorge Salazar • College Times For many freshman students, college is the first taste of freedom from the tyrannical reign of their parents. You are no longer forced to clean your room, check in every couple of hours or abide by a curfew. You are no longer a child and the world will hear you roar. OK, that was a pretty dramatic way of putting it, but now that you are a fullfledged adult, you are basically left to your own devices. And as the hero of your own story, you’d be wise to take some SpiderMan-approved advice: “With great power comes great responsibility.” As a college student, you fail or succeed based on your own decisions and actions. And with a plethora of awesome possibilities at your reach, there are also more than a few pitfalls that can plague even the most prepared young adult. Nobody is waking you up to get ready for class anymore (unless your dorm furnished you with an awesome roommate). It’s easy to convince yourself that playing hooky is a harmless privilege of your newlyacquired independence. The thing is, it’s always the class you miss that gets you in the end, be it because of impromptu quizzes that can affect your grade or a simple extra credit for attendance that can go a long way. Avoid classes in the morning if you feel like you might abuse the snooze button. At the risk of sounding like your parents, we won’t bore you with a lecture about the dangers of alcohol. It’s going to be around and only you can control how you react toward it. Make sure you prevent becoming
the person that routinely blacks out during every festivity, gets alcohol poisoning and spends mornings praying to the porcelain gods. There are more than enough things to do in Tempe and Phoenix that don’t require you being a #hotmess. Do you know what you won’t find at a narcotics anonymous meeting? An addict that never tried drugs. College is all about experimenting and broadening your horizons. Many view that as an excuse to experiment with narcotics. A survey by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services indicated that 22 percent of college students partook in illicit drugs in 2012. Aside from the health risks associated with drugs, the last thing you need is for a drug charge to pop up on a background check when you’re trying to land that post-college job. There’s always that one fellow freshman that makes you feel like you’re probably being lazy as you settle into college life while they’ve already become involved in Greek Life, various extracurricular clubs and some sort of sport. While there may seem to be a lot of checkpoints you need to hit before you get to your desired college destination, remember that slow and steady wins the race. Many-a-freshman will overlook their own happiness in the hopes of getting a head start and end up feeling the effects during the first round of midterms.

Make your way through the sweltering school year unscathed Claire Cleveland • College Times Arizona is a desert. While you think you understand that, think again. If you are a native, maybe you already get it, but if you’re coming from out of state, you definitely need to rethink turning down that water dispenser deal in the dorms. Unlike living at home, where the water is plentiful and purchased by your parents, here you have take some responsibility to insure you have access to water all the time. Oh, and did we mention that the tap water here tastes awful? Bring a water bottle... always There are countless football games where students have passed out from dehydration and heat exhaustion, and you will be no exception, even if you are from Arizona. It is easy to forget to drink enough water, especially when everything is new and you are on your own for the first time. Get a nice, durable water bottle that fits in your favorite bag, otherwise you will be kicking yourself when you wake up with a concussion from passing out. Save strenuous activities for early morning and late evening Early and late school year temps will be in the high eighties and oftentimes they easily climb over 100 degrees, so deciding to take a mid-afternoon jog is just asking for trouble. Go to the pool or stay in the air conditioning. Some days are miserably hot, so wait for the evenings before you exert yourself outside.
Walk through buildings on your way to class This one seems silly, we know, but when it’s 110 degrees out and you’re trying to not sweat through three shirts a day, A/C will be your saving grace. Plan your walks between classes by going through buildings or the shadiest walkways. Dress smart Your hip, black, high-waisted leather jeans may have cost over a hundred dollars and be the coolest piece of clothing you own, but they will also create an oven effect when it’s raining heat outside. And there is nothing hip about cooking your own flesh. On the flip side, excessive underbutt in shorts isn’t very cute either. Just think before you go outside. Wear lighter colors that come in light fabrics and cover your arms. If you’re prone to burning in the sun, you can’t afford to skip this one. Comfortable shoes are great, but even better are ones that keep your feet cool and won’t melt to the sidewalk. Yes, that happens here. Leave those cheap black flipflops at home. Wear sunscreen, hats and sunglasses Is your skin fair as snow? Buy a cute hat and invest in some SPF 45+ sunscreen. You will thank yourself in 20 years when you don’t have skin cancer or sun spots, we promise. Sunglasses and hats are a great way to protect yourself from the heat on and around campus. And besides, who doesn’t love to accessorize?

Out of the Box: What we can learn from the students we stereotype Ana Anguiano • College Times We are just as guilty of it as anyone else. We see someone dressed a certain way and think “hipster.” Or we see a gaggle of girls wearing pink on a Wednesday and assuming their likemindedness is part of a sorority event. It’s only human to want to shove people into boxes with neat little labels. And while we know that it’s wrong and superficial, we also admire some of the stereotypical things different “types” of students on campus. Let’s delve in, shall we? Sorority girls It’s hard enough being a bright and pretty student without the negative connotations automatically placed on them. Despite what you may think, these girls are not only ambitious but know how to run things. Sorority girls have jam-packed calendars, which means they can manage time with the best of them. Plus, they have shopping down to a science. Take any sorority girl to Last Chance or Ross and watch them find a cute, cheap outfit that fits perfectly in less than 20 minutes along with the last pair of cute shoes in the entire store. They can also network their faces off. From day one they are thrown into new situations where they have to put their best foot forward and hope to make a good impression. Hipsters We know this term is completely overused and has lost most of its impact, but you still know a hipster when you see

one. They care about buying local and pride themselves in spending their dollars at Arizona businesses, which we totally commend. Even thought you might think they’re all about PBR, they are really all about microbreweries with limited special edition mini kegs. They also really care about food and cooking. Hipsters are foodies at heart and like to take care of themselves through diet rather than exercise. Athletes Depending on your interest in sports, you might think student athletes are either over or under-hyped, but we can’t argue with their impressive amounts of sheer willpower. They sacrifice a typical college career to follow their dreams and train with their teammates. They also manage to be extremely capable under high amounts of stress and harsh conditions. Have you ever tried training in the desert? It sounds awful. Nerds Pretty much everyone could fall into this category, but we want to praise the stereotypical nerds that hang back on the outskirts of student life and do their own thing. They are driven by passion and their incredibly refined tastes in a myriad of subjects expose them to different cultures and points of view. They are known for being not only funny but having that great dry wit and sarcasm that usually results in fierce friendships that are deeply rooted in lengthy conversations.
Eating healthy, even when your options are limited Christina Caldwell • College Times The Freshman 15 isn’t inevitable. You can still live a healthy lifestyle in the dorms. Between your meal plan, the Student Recreation Center (SRC) and the variety of food resources on campus, there’s really no need to bulk up your freshman year. College isn’t just a wave of Hot Pockets and Top Ramen. Your options as 2014’s incoming freshman class are better than any class that came before. You’re only limited by your wallet, and even then there are some economic ways to get around spending bookoo bucks on quality food. Dress up the staples with veggies Even if you’re going to eat Top Ramen, you don’t have to use that super gross powdered flavor packet. Buy the packets for the noodles and cook as usual, then sprinkle with olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and the spices of your choice. (Try adding Sriracha for a kick!) Top it all off with fresh vegetables like carrots, green onions and broccoli to make sure you’re getting your fiber and vitamins. It’s scurvy repellant! Hit up the ASU farmers market Part of ASU’s green initiative was to add a farmers market, where local farmers and specialty food items are able to sell their products to students on-the-cheap. Some stands even have ready-to-eat items like super healthy frozen meals you can just pop in the microwave or dorm oven. There will be four farmers market appearances in the fall on October 7 and 21 and November 4 and 18. For more information
about dates and locations, visit eoss.asu. edu/farmersmarket. Choose the healthy option at the cafeteria We know the appeal of an “all-you-caneat” (or as ASU calls it, “all-you-care-to-eat”) buffet is cramming as much food down your gob as possible. But try to resist. Sure, there will be pizza and mashed potato offerings, but they’re kind of nasty anyway. Head to the salad bar for real nutrition. That doesn’t mean you have to eat plain lettuce and carrots. Grab some chicken, chop it up and toss it in with bacon bits, lettuce, cheese and the dressing of your choice. The 80/20 rule If you eat healthy 80 percent of the time, there’s no harm in indulging in whatever greasy, salty, sweet or carb-filled catastrophe you choose to jam down your gullet. If you want to eat healthy all week and indulge over the weekend, do it! Stock your mini fridge with healthy foods from the MU market, grocery store or farmers market and feed from that all week. Come the weekend, all bets are off. Make sure fatty and sweet foods are a treat and not your norm. Educate yourself Maintain a healthy lifestyle the scientific way by eating the right proportion of fat, protein, carbs and fiber. Flip through the course catalog for the ASU School of Nutrition & Health Promotion for some amazing course options that will keep you healthy throughout your college career.

LOFT YOUR BED Bed, Bath and Beyond is the best place for cheap and easy lofting materials. Although some dorms don’t support this, it’s a fantastic space saver. Once the bed is lofted, pull your desk and chair underneath the bed to create a workspace that feels more like an office. Or pop a plush beanbag on the floor (so ‘90s!) and set up the ultimate sports watching wo/man cave.
PRINTABLE WALL MURALS Head to your local copy center and hand them a flash drive. Ask the for the photo to be printed separately as one engineer print—these babies make up to 36” x 90” murals. Doublesided tape will hold the picture up.
BATTERY OPERATED CANDLES Dorms have regulations against bringing fire into a building with 500 teenagers. Go figure. Leave the candles at grandma’s and grab some battery-operated candles. They have the same pretty effect as candles without the open flame. Homework mood lighting, anyone?

POLAROID CLUSTERS You can still buy antiquated Polaroid film off the web, which is a bit pricy, but totally worth it. Arrange photos to make a square. As you take more over the course of the year, the square will grow and perhaps even cover an entire wall. Art majors, get creative! Instead of taking picture of a bunch of friends, pick one and have each Polaroid capture a body part. When you piece the pictures together you get an edgy DIY museum effect.
with these cool ideas and make it feel a bit more homey. (FYI, you should skip the bottle of Crystal in the fridge—this isn’t ASU Cribs, and your RA definitely won’t put up with that.)
RUGS Cover the floor with clashing patterned rugs. It’s a way easier cleanup method for when you inevitably spill something. You can just throw it in the laundry and recall the previous stain underneath. Let’s be real— dorm carpet is so not cute.
HOMEMADE HEADBOARD Dumpster diving for large pieces of cardboard is easy when you know where to look. Construction sites have all sorts of cool stuff they don’t use and end up dropping in landfills. If you’re nervous, ask permission first. Once you’ve found a decent size piece, cut the cardboard to the size of your bed. Trace and cut out a design that mirrors the headboard on your fave home décor website and glue fabric to the front. Position and hang over your bed. So fancy!

Once you get to college, you’re officially an adult in the eyes of most. That comes with a lot of adult responsibility, which can be overwhelming for someone who was considered a child just a few short months ago. College changes everything, and eventually you’ll start feeling like the adult you’re meant to be. But during your freshman year and throughout your college career, there will be mentors to help you along the way. If you’re struggling, tell someone! Here’s when you should seek help.
Why college will be more of a struggle than high school Christina Caldwell • College Times We’re going to let you in on a little secret: You don’t need to know most of those things your high school teachers said you would for college. It was just an effort to get you to learn new concepts. What a con! In reality, you won’t be writing papers in cursive, you’ll be writing them on your laptop. Welcome to the 21st Century, high school teachers! We have computers here. But that’s not to say college will be easier than high school. In fact, it most certainly will not be. You’ll be out of the house for the first time as an adult, and with that are a whirlwind of adult responsibilities about to come your way. Your professors don’t care that you were able to “puppy eyes” your way from a B+ to an A- in your high school English class. Most professors won’t offer extra credit, and they won’t remind you when a test date or report deadline is coming up. That doesn’t mean they’re out to get you. They have their own responsibilities to manage. They’re not babysitters—they’re academics who have papers, speeches, research and appearances to worry about. Your BIO101 essay is just about the furthest thing from their mind. College is a “big picture” life event. You’ll learn to see your problems from an other person’s perspective, which means taking personal responsibility for your actions. It’s an unforgiving world post-high school, and many successful high school students struggle once they get to college. They were able to coast before, never studying for tests and making up lost points with extra credit from tissue and canned food drives, but that doesn’t happen at university. Your grade will be a true reflection of your knowledge and effort. If you’re not willing to put in the time, don’t expect your professor to give you a second thought.
26 2014 FRESHMAN GUIDE
When to ask for help
Your high school mentality won’t help you succeed in college, but these tips will. You have to pay attention to the syllabus In high school, syllabi mostly just covered whether or not you’ll need a protractor or science goggles for that specific class. In college, the syllabus is everything. It will cover what activities will make up what portion of your grade, test dates, paper due dates and more. Professors may or may not remind you of upcoming dates, but if they don’t, you can’t blame them. You had the information all along. To keep on top of things, write down all deadlines and test dates in your Google calendar. Set a reminder for a week before the due date and on the due date. That way you’ll never forget to study or bring your essay to class. You need to study early and often Studying isn’t just for the night before the test anymore. You should begin studying as soon as you learn the material if you really want to ace a test. Create flash cards for new terms, do practice problems for new math concepts and implement the philosophical arguments you’ve learned in everyday life. Studying in college is about much more than just being able to regurgitate information. You’re learning the skills and concepts that you’ll use in your future career, so pay attention and buckle down. You need to take copious notes Some professors will hand out an outline or put notes up on the chalkboard. Others will just lecture ad nauseam and expect you to write down what they say. Either way, try to stay focused and take your own notes because they might say something that will resurface on a test.
Don’t expect study guides, either. Some extra nice professors will help you out by giving you a study guide and others will simply tell you what topics will be covered. Odds are you’re going to have to make your own study guide, so pay close attention. You’ll need to go to office hours As we mentioned, your grade in college is an actual reflection of your effort and knowledge. Your professor won’t bump up your grade simply because they like you. If you don’t understand a concept, go to your professor’s office hours. They’re more likely to want to help you if you’re putting in the effort from the get go. If you come running to them at the end of the semester saying you need to raise your grade from a D to an A, good luck. They’ll have no sympathy for your lack of initiative. You’ll have to seek help for the fundamentals Are you overwhelmed in your statistics class? Do you not remember how to do basic long division? There’s no shame in it. Rather than struggling through your classes by not remembering the basics, fess up early at the Student Services Center. ASU’s Student Services Centers offer peer tutoring that can help you master the fundamentals before you move onto the more complicated materials a class is tossing your way. It’s better to learn late than never! You’ll be expected to handle things like an adult Don’t attempt to cry your way to an A. It’s off-putting for professors that deal with students that know how to handle their emotions, and it won’t win you any favors. If you failed a test, it’s your fault. Do better on the next one if you have a desired grade in mind.
Your grades are slipping With all of the resources at your fingertips, there’s no reason for your grades to suffer. You can get tutoring help from fellow students at the Student Success Center, get a better grasp on subjects at your professor’s office hours or resolve emotional concerns at ASU Counseling Services. You don’t know what classes to take Your respective major map should give you a good idea of what classes you should be taking, but if you’re totally lost, be sure to make an appointment with an advisor at your school. They can clear up any questions you have about coursework, what classes to take for your future career development and more. You’re feeling depressed Depression is about more than just feeling sad. It’s a chemical imbalance, and separating from your family and friends to go to college might trigger that imbalance. Seek the help of ASU Counseling Services if you feel any overwhelming feelings that inhibit your ability to function in college. You feel out of place With hundreds of clubs and social activities on campus, there’s no need to feel lonely. There’s someone out there just like you! Attend a club fair and find people with which you have something in common. Visit eoss.asu.edu/clubs for more info. You’re thinking about switching majors This decision can put a big impact on your college career. If you’ve already done coursework for your major, those credits might count as electives in your new major. Check with your school’s advisor about how to make the most effective switch.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda Don’t make our freshman year mistakes College Times staff If you’re a freshman, odds are you’ve already heard much about the “college experience.” And yeah, all of those parties, opportunities and new friends are great, but the learning curve on life in college will quickly harsh your good time. We’ve compiled a list of things we wish we knew as frosh. Heed this advice and Godspeed, newbie. People are going to tell you to network. Don’t blow it off. Yeah, networking totally sounds like a nonsense business buzz word, but when advisors, professors and parents tell you to do it—freakin’ do it! In college you’ll meet countless people that will help you with your future career. Trying to make connections post-graduation is an uphill battle. Take advantage of your school’s opportunities to meet people in the industry and fellow students. You’ll have more opportunities now than you ever will again. Take a multivitamin and drink a ton of water when drinking Ohhhh how we wish we knew this one. When you drink and eventually “break the seal,” you’re peeing out a ton of vitamins. The multivitamin will help replenish them. Drinking will also make you dehydrated, but you’ll feel too good to care. Care anyway. Keep both of these in your system and hangovers will be infrequent. Pick an activity that suits your personality—not what’s “cool” Yeah, we tried Greek Life. If you know you have little in common with the types of people in your club, fraternity, sorority, or other extracurricular activity, don’t bother. You won’t enjoy it and you won’t make any friends.
30 2014 FRESHMAN GUIDE
If you got a bad grade, it’s your fault Professors don’t have it out for students. They won’t intentionally give you bad grades. If you got a bad mark, that doesn’t mean it’s time to head to office hours and beg them to reconsider. It’s simply time to study more. Accept it and buckle down. Double check your DARS report The DARS report, available on Blackboard, tells you how many credits you’ve earned and how many you need to obtain your degree. If you drop or re-take a class, sometimes it still shows up as a credit. Before you know it, you’ll be three credits shy of a degree the last three weeks of your senior year. If you’re an out of state student, stock up on frequent flier miles and hotel rewards Students coming in from out of state
have to consider the amount of traveling their college career will involve. You can save a ton of money by booking hotels with reward programs for multiple stays. Frequent flier miles add up fast. Graduating early is easy with community college classes Clear up your fall and spring schedules by taking a couple courses during the summer. Why bother with biology in a hot 400 person lecture hall when you can do it online for a fraction of the cost and time? The dining hall is only good when parents are around Don’t be fooled by the grand display the first week of school. The dining hall has to feed everyone, so they aren’t always on top of their game. Look forward to family week for the good stuff.
Befriend the ambitious and weird kids Always befriend the kids who are oddly ambitious or a bit on the weird side. They see college as a stepping stone and usually go on to lead really interesting lives. People from the Midwest always know where the party’s at If we had to pinpoint two things people from the Midwest love, it’s fleece sweatshirts and parties. They always know where the party is and they make friends faster than anyone, especially if the other person is from the Midwest. The dorm room won’t clean itself Pick up your things and don’t be a slob. Disinfecting wipes are your best friend. They’ll cleanse your dorm of bacteria that’s looming to make you sick. Put your clothes away if you don’t want your roommate to loathe your existence.

You’ll learn more outside the classroom Living on your own presents many challenges. Learning how to pay bills and grocery shop is one thing, but keeping yourself healthy and safe is another. View every situation as a valuable life lesson. It’s time to see what you are really made of! Cruise ratemyprofessor.com when choosing classes Good professors make all of the difference. Aside from the letter grade, a brilliant or truly original professor can impart knowledge that will stick with you for life. Read the reviews and choose a teacher wisely. Roomies gonna mack Eventually your roommate will be getting it on with someone five feet from your bed. Create a notification system signaling serious intimacy occurring in the room. (Example: Scrunchie on the door = “Heavy makeout sesh. Come in at your own will.” Post-it on the door = “More than just kissing. Don’t come in, pervert.”) Never pass up free food You will be broke and starving. Despite your parents’ generous donations, you will somehow find yourself penniless. Learn to love pizza and hit up any and all school social events with free grub. Always bring girls to a party If you are a guy going to house parties, make sure you bring girls. This doesn’t have to be your girlfriend or a girl you are pursuing (actually, it would be better if that was not the case), but it is a good idea to try and create a twogirls-to-one-guy ratio in your caravan. Reason: If you don’t, some “badass” at the door will likely make you pay cover.
Don’t come off as smart in your first lab In those prerequisite lab classes we all hate, there is going to be an eclectic mix of students. Even more stressful, you are going to have to be lab partners with one of these weirdos. The first day is mostly just a “meet the teacher” kind of day. Don’t say much that day. If you are talking during the entire class, people will assume you know what you’re talking about. Then, as a result, the dumb kid will want to be your partner. Music classes are tough You are scrolling the course catalog for a fun looking elective credit and you notice something cool. You say: “History of Rock n’ Roll! That could be cool!” Well, you’re wrong. Music electives require a ton of reading (unless you are well-versed in the world of cheating.) Don’t take them unless you actually want to put in the work. Walk through buildings for A/C Walking through campus in the hot months really sucks. To beat the heat, walk through buildings on the way to your across-campus classes. This way, you can enjoy A/C most of the way. You won’t keep all of your high school friends and long distance relationships It is time to move on to the next chapter in your life. Sure, you will probably keep in touch with a handful of your high school friends, but you won’t hold onto all of them. Also, if you and your girlfriend/boyfriend are going to separate schools (not within driving distance), it might be best to call it quits. High school relationships rarely continue to work, and are even less likely to work when you don’t go to the same school.

The Freshman Timeline: All you need to know about staying on track this year Lily Lieberman • College Times Freshman year is fun, but it can also be stressful. There are plenty
Dropping classes (August) Sometimes you take the class and realize it’s just not for you. You have a few days to drop the class and register for a new one online. The process is simple, but many classes will already be filled so you may not get your first choice.
sophomore year? Here’s what you should be doing throughout your freshman year to keep on track and even get ahead of the game.
Find a mentor (January) Buddying up with a wise professional in your biz comes in handy. Look around for a friendly, local professional in your field of interest and shoot them an email. Tell them you are a college student that would love to learn more about the world of (fill in the blank). Suggest a quick lunch date at their convenience. Networking is key.
Apply for internships over summer (February) Deadlines for summer internships are usually in early March. Hop on the train early and send a cover letter, resume and references to companies you may be interested in interning for. This kind of experience looks incredible on your resume.
MARCH
Meet with advisor (November) They really do know everything! Advisors will tell you which classes are easiest, when you should take them and guide you through your college career. Be sure to double check their work, though! Advisors are stretched thin and often give blanket advice. Make sure their advice works for you.

Join a club (September) Clubs promote themselves hard to new members, and unlike high school, they’re very inclusive. Participation is usually as much or as little as you want to put in. There are some wacky clubs out there like Dumbledore’s Army and the Roller Derby Club. Get out of your comfort zone and try something new!
Write a resume (October) It’s never too early to start writing a resume. The Student Services office for each college has staff that can help you score an internship or job your freshman year.

What do you really need to get by in the dorms? Ana Anguiano •College Times One of the sweetest sights around campus is seeing all the new freshman packed to the brim with huge boxes filled with just about everything the Target RE section has to offer. It’s like they are all off to summer camp, except the parents are having a much harder time. Lugging massive amounts of loot into a tiny dorm is only fun for a little bit. After that it’s only a matter of time before all that junk is either thrown under a bed or shoved in a corner. We get it. Back to school shopping is a special moment for students and their families, but you probably don’t need a lot of the junk you think you do. Must haves Extra toiletries Shopping for deodorant is the pits. Go bulk with boring toiletries so you’re not stuck paying three times as much at the nearest convenience store. Extra underpants We don’t want to come off like your mother, but underwear should be important to you. You can never have enough. You will thank us on those days when the only clean clothing items you own are fresh undies. Disinfecting wipes Disinfecting wipes really come in handy because you can clean anything with them (except your body). Surfaces are gross, and when it’s easy to clean, you are more likely to do it.
Microwave Having a magic box to heat up water for tea, popcorn for movies, and soup for the days you feel ill is essential. All you need is one and they are pretty cheap, so either split one with your roommate or pick one up at a thrift store. Leave it behind Real dishes Unless your dorm has a functional kitchen with plenty of storage room, you only really need a bowl, a mug, a cup and a plate. Don’t go out and buy a fancy set Office supplies The first day of school brings out a weird need to buy pencils and paper and binders, but try to leave all your weird school supplies at home. You’re in college now. You only need the basics—no pastel gel pens necessary. What to splurge on Mattress topper Beds in dorm rooms are used as chairs, dinner tables and study areas, but are used for much sketchier things... when they should be used for sleep! Do yourself a favor and make your bed a really great bed. Fridge You might not have a kitchen, but after a long day walking across campus in the summer you will be glad to have at least a cold drink. Water filter Drinking water is the most important thing ever in Arizona, and if you care about the taste, a filtered pitcher is a must.
Your rights as a dorm and apartment tenant Claire Cleveland • College Times Signing a lease for the first time can be daunting. No to worry, though. In the dorms, you won’t be signing the same kind of lease that some landlord made up. Instead you sign away your life to the ASU residence halls. Sounds like a much better deal right? Well, not so much, but there are some things you should know about your rights in the dorms, even if they are extremely limited. When signing the dorm lease you will notice that it states that the agreement is between you, the licensee, and the residence hall, the licensor. This may sound like a meaningless difference in words, but in fact it makes all the difference when you realize that your room can be searched almost without warning, they can keep your money if they kick you out and they determine whether or not you get to break your lease. If you have something in the dorms that you aren’t supposed to (saaaay, we dunno, alcohol?), get rid of it. If that option doesn’t float your boat then only store it in furniture that you own, not university furniture. Keep your illegal valuables in, for example, your microwave or the cabinet that you bought at Target. University personnel can search any piece of University property, but they have to call the cops and get a legal search warrant for your personal property. Now that we have that out of the way, take some time to consider how important the freshmen dorm experience is to you. Thought it through? Now, imagine that you are home for Christmas crying your eyes out because your roommate keeps you up all night and your suite-mate is unbelievably messy in the bathroom. To top it all off,
you are taking out loans to pay for a $600 closet-sized room that you share with Mrs. League-of-Legends-at-all-hours-of-the-night. Does that sound like a fun time? Nah, of course it doesn’t. If you decide to break your lease, you will be charged a $75 non-refundable fee, even if ASU housing rejects your request to break the lease. The LAR (License Agreement Request form) explicitly states that less expensive housing off campus is not reason enough to break your lease. After your first year in the dorms, chances are you will want to get the hell out of there and move off campus. This new lease will be a whole new beast, only this time you will have equally as many rights as your landlord. The basic requirements of keeping your end of the lease include maintaining the property, abiding by the rules of the landlord and paying your rent on time. Individual landlords will have different stipulations, so be sure to read the rental agreement from top to bottom before you sign the next 9 to 12 months of your life away. If your landlord isn’t living up to everything they said they would—making basic repairs, dealing with pest infestations, etc.—that’s a legal reason to break the lease at no penalty to you. If your landlord resists, you can get a lawyer involved. In a house or apartment, you will likely be paying month-to-month, as opposed to one payment for the entire semester in the dorm. The money you pay every month determines if you will still have a roof over your head. Living off campus requires more know-how, planning and responsibility on your part, so be sure you’re fully prepared to get yourself around, get to school on time and pay your bills. 2014 FRESHMAN GUIDE 35

Getting Social >>> Get with the program! ASU Program Activities Board has all you need to keep entertained your first year
Claire Cleveland • College Times The ASU Programming and Activities Board is a student led group that plans and coordinates ASU events to promote Sun Devil spirit, pride and tradition. This upcoming year will be full of opportunities to meet other students that share your interests and find groups to join throughout your college career. We chatted with Sarah Harrison, PAB Tempe president, find out more about what the organization does for the student body. College Times: What does the PAB do and how does it aid the ASU campus? Harrison: PAB supports the ASU community by planning and implement[ing] university-wide programs and activities that promote Sun Devil spirit, pride and tradition. Events range from open mic nights to large scale concerts. PAB also provides students an opportunity to develop leadership skills, meet other Sun Devils and create lifelong college memories. What events does the PAB plan yearly? PAB plans the following events each year: Homecoming, which includes signature events on all four campuses, i.e. Lantern Walk and Homecoming Parade, Devils On Mill, a pre-game tailgate three hours before football home games on Mill Avenue and Sixth Street, [and] Devilpalooza, a large scale event that takes place during the spring semester and features a concert, carnival rides, art exhibit and food. Additional events are planned throughout the year based on current staff programming.
38 2014 FRESHMAN GUIDE
What can incoming freshmen expect from the PAB? Incoming students have an opportunity to attend and enjoy student-led and studentplanned university events. Students can expect to attend events and build friendships, make connections and make the most of their freshman experience. How can incoming freshmen get involved with the PAB? Incoming freshman can learn about getting involved at New Student Orientation and Fall Welcome. PAB staff members will be available to provide information about the organization, events and opportunities to lead. PAB’s general application process begins in the spring semester. There are also opportunities throughout the year when positions become available for students to apply for vacant openings. The best way for a new student to get involved is to attend PAB events and keep a look out for what we have going on. What is the most exciting event that the PAB puts on? PAB puts on so many exciting events that it is hard to pick just one. Devilpalooza is a unique event, in that all PAB members on all four campuses have an opportunity to host. This event is typically held in February. We are able to reach more students [because] each year the event rotates to each campus. With all of the work that goes into putting on a large scale event, Devilpalooza is the perfect event for us to combine different elements of planning. There are featured bands and artists, as well as carnival activities that include, rides, games, food and so much more. It is a great time for the Sun Devils community to get together and enjoy a free event.

GETTING SOCIAL >>> 123RF.com
Is Greek Life for you? Christina Caldwell • College Times Are you an Alpha Phi? A Delta Chi? A Kappa Delta? You won’t know until you go through fraternity or sorority rush. If you decide to go Greek during your freshman year (aka, join a fraternity or sorority), you’ll hear plenty of people bash your decision. They’ll say you’re paying for friends, that you only care about the party aspect of college or that you’re prone to following the crowd. In reality, being Greek is much more than that. You’ll instantly make hundreds of your new closest friends. You might be paying dues to be part of the group, but those who join fraternities and sororities make friends that last a lifetime. Besides, dues go toward the killer dances, themed nights and activities you do as a group, helping the organization bond and become stronger. If you like to be social, going Greek is where it’s at, but that doesn’t mean Greeks only want to party. In fact, you have to maintain a certain GPA. So don’t deem Greeks as “just a pretty face.” They have the brains and the grades to back it up. So is Greek Life for you? Maybe, maybe not. With 57 academic and social fraternities on campus, odds are you can find one that’s a good match. But you don’t just get to choose your fraternity or sorority—they get to choose you, too, in a process called “rush.” Make sure you’re totally prepared before you delve into the world of the Greeks.
Attend an orientation meeting Greek recruitment begins pretty much as soon as school starts. You’ll notice members of Greek Life wearing their letters and colors, and encouraging new meat to rush. Two organizations reign over Greek Life at ASU. For sororities, it’s the ASU Panhellenic Council. For fraternities, it’s the Interfraternity Council. Both host orientation events for students interested in becoming Greek. These informational meetings will show you the positives of being involved in these organizations, including sisterhood/brotherhood, opportunities for advancement in the work world, successful people who have been Greek and more. On the flip side, what they won’t tell you is that Greek Life can take a good amount of time away from your studies and will cost a lot of money for monthly dues, attire and parties. Weigh the positives and negatives and decide what works best for you. Go through rush Rush for fraternities and sororities happens in different ways. For fraternities, the process is much more relaxed. Men will be directed to meet with each house for a series of recruitment events, after which the frat will decide whether or not you’ll make a good fit. You’re expected to be cool, smart and put together. Fraternities also have an “open recruitment” policy, which means they can add members throughout the year as they see fit, so even if you decide it’s not the right time to rush now, you can do so later.
For sororities, recruits will attend the Adelphi Walk-Around event, where you’ll go from house to house to get a feel for the kind of ladies that reside there. (OK, technically Adelphi isn’t so much a housing block as much as it is a glorified dorm. Regardless, that’s where sororities reside.) After the Walk-Around, you’ll go through four formal recruitment sessions, where you’ll be expected to dress to the nines and put on your best face to impress as many sororities with your shining smile as possible. Think of these as relaxed interviews, but try not to get nervous. If you and the sorority don’t click, just move onto the next. Once you’re through the final recruitment session, each sorority will decide whether or not you’ll make a good fit in their institution. The final step is “bid day,” where the sororities that want you will give you their “bid,” meaning they would like to invite you to join. If you have more than one sorority on your list, you get to decide between them. If there’s only one on your list, you can always decide not to join all together. It’s important to choose the right sorority because you’re going to be spending the next four (or more!) years with these girls. Accept your bid Once you accept your bid, welcome to Greek Life! Each fraternity and sorority has their own orientation process, but you shouldn’t worry too much about hazing. ASU has a super strict anti-hazing policy that bans any organization from campus that encourages torture during the initiation of its recruits. The school has dropped the hammer on a handful of frats
in recent years, and it won’t hold back in doing it again. You’ll learn the traditions and history of your Greek institution, and you might even be quizzed on it before you’re officially initiated. You could even go through a borderline religious initiation ceremony. (Side note: Some social fraternities and sororities have religious affiliations, but that doesn’t mean they discriminate when it comes to recruits. If you end up in a “Christian” sorority, it doesn’t mean you’ll be expected to pray in future events.) When you’re finally a part of your fraternity or sorority, you have the option to move into Adelphi (sorority housing) or Adelphi II (fraternity housing) in the next semester or school year. If you really want to get close to your brothers or sisters, this is the place to be. You’ll be constantly surrounded by Greek Life and you’ll live directly south of campus, within walking distance of everything at ASU. If for some reason you decide being Greek isn’t right for you, there’s no harm in dropping out. Members might hold it against you, but if you can’t afford to continue, personally or financially, it’s sometimes a good option. Your real friends in the organization will stick with you no matter what, and there are countless opportunities to make friends in clubs, classes and extracurriculars outside of Greek Life.

By far the most interesting part of going to college is being exposed to so many kinds new people. Entering Arizona State University for the first time will be overwhelming with all of the new faces you’ll encounter. Day in and day out, you’ll have dozens of opportunities to connect with new people from all over the world. Everyone comes from a different background and they all have their own stories, which makes college the perfect opportunity to learn more about yourself. At the same time, college is the time when people start expecting you to act like an adult. Being away from home is sometimes too much for students to handle. You can ask any ASU senior and they will know plenty of students who let their partying get the best of their education. So how can you avoid the peer pressure that comes along with attending a school with a so-called party nature? It’s pretty simple. You just have to surround yourself with friends that won’t push you into doing something you don’t want to do. Saying no is hard, especially if you were raised to be polite and want to make friends, but saying no is oftentimes the best solution. The bottom line is that if your friends are pressuring you to do something you don’t want, they should not be your friends. Friends tend to respect each other and peer pressure is the opposite of
respect. Over 80 percent of college students have at least one alcoholic drink over a two week time period in the United States, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. That statistic alone isn’t as alarming as it should be, but of these college students, 40 percent of them are binge drinking (having four or more drinks) on occasion, which is higher than the rate of their non-college peers. Binge drinking is only one of many activities that can land you in serious trouble. Being away from home also makes all the consequences for you actions much worse. Instead of going down a path that can be dangerous, offer to be the DD or take a friend you trust with you. If you don’t feel safe or comfortable in a situation, the best way to avoid is it by leaving. Straight up ghosting is actually the best plan of action. If you’re at a party and things are getting to weird, just leave. Don’t say your goodbyes or try to round up your friends. You can always text them later to say you had to split, and we promise, no one will care that you went home before the cops showed up. This isn’t about feeling guilty or letting your parents down—it’s about doing what is best for you. You have to set boundaries, and if people can’t respect them, what is the point of being their friend? There are thousands of students at ASU and you can easily find friends that won’t push you when you stand your ground.
