(INTRO): Arizona State University otherwise known as ASU is a large university in Arizona with an old reputation of being known as “The Party School”. In this video, I will be informing you of some of the most interesting things you probably did not know about the University.
Starting off with number 1:
1. There are 4 ASU campuses with ASU Tempe being the main one.
In Tempe, there are many free fun events like the Inferno Fest concert hosted in the fall previously featuring bands like The All American Rejects in 2017 and Foster the People in 2018, the Devil Palooza concert hosted in the spring also featured artists in previous years like T-Pain in 2018 and Rae Sremmurd in 2017. There are also free sun devil Football games for enrolled students.
2. ASU is #1 in Innovation Many do not know that ASU was ranked the most innovative school in the nation, ahead of schools like MIT and Stanford. In fact, right now ASU is building a smart city called the innovation corridor, this is supposed to feature autonomous driving friendly streets and new integrated living spaces for residents.
3. ASU is one of the biggest universities in the US with over 100,000 students ASU ranks as one of the largest universities by student population, in fact in 2016 ASU ranked number 6 in the nation in terms of the student population.

4. The mascot, Sparky, was designed by former Disney artist, Berkeley “Berk” Anthony. Anthony worked at the Disney Studio from 1935 until he was drafted for World War II in 1941. Some people have speculated that Sparky looks somewhat like Walt Disney, but Anthony never confirmed it.
5. The final presidential debate for the 2004 election between John Kerry and George W. Bush was hosted in the Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium on the Tempe campus. In fact, many presidents actually spoke at ASU including former president Barack Obama in 2009 in the Sun Devil Stadium and Theodore Roosevelt for the Dedication of Roosevelt Dam in 1911 right here in front of the Old Main building.

My friends doing coding stuff seem to like it, business majors also appear to be good, idk about others, but whatever u do, DO NOT TAKE CREATIVE MAJORS AT ASU, literally a diploma mill, one of my classes had lecture vids over 8 years old, I changed my major twice already and finally going to transfer out

Jolly Holly asu is easy to get into but hard to stay in that’s why the rankings are not as high as some other schools. Also it hasn’t cracked the top 10 party school lists in years.

Some other known ASU facts: 1. It is the butt of more college jokes than practically any other US school. 2. Its alumni includes Mary Kay Letourneau, a school teacher who became infamous for having sex with her 12 year old student, when she was 34 and married. She was jailed for over 7 years on statutory rape. 3. Overall, it has a reputation, mostly due to its high acceptance rate and notoriety as a party school. 4. On a much more positive note: another alumni is Pat Tillman. Tillman was a pro-football player (Arizona Cardinals) who left his football career and volunteered with the Army to fight in Afghanistan; he was killed in 2004 while on tour of duty. Tillman graduated summa cum laude from ASU in marketing and the ASU Veterans Center is named in his memory. ASU retired his jersey number and there is a bronze statue of him within Sun Devil Stadium, right by the Tillman Tunnel where the players enter the field
still a party school
