Level Up Your ASU Experience (and Your Life!)

Hey Sun Devils!

How’s the first week of classes treating you? August is flying by, and the new semester is officially in full swing. Whether you’re a freshman still figuring out the campus map or a seasoned upperclassman who’s already back in the groove, this time of year is always buzzing with excitement. Now that you’re settling in, it’s time to gear up, get focused, and most importantly, live your best damn life!

We know that settling back into the rhythm of college life can be a lot. New classes, new roommates (maybe!), and a whole new set of possibilities. But this year, let’s make it about more than just hitting the books. Let’s make it about truly experiencing everything ASU and Tempe have to offer.

Explore Your Campus, Embrace Your City!

ASU’s Tempe campus is absolutely massive and full of hidden gems. Take some time to wander beyond your usual class routes. Discover a new study spot in Hayden Library, grab a coffee at the Memorial Union, or even just find a shady spot to relax on Palm Walk. The more you explore, the more you’ll feel at home.

And speaking of home, Tempe itself is an incredible city for students. From hiking ‘A’ Mountain for an epic sunset view to checking out the vibrant scene on Mill Avenue, there’s always something to do. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try a new restaurant, visit a local shop, or catch a live show. This is your chance to really immerse yourself in the local culture.
