    Compared to other colleges this was a really good price and for such a good school I feel like I am paying too little.

    From all of the resources available and the activities here on campus it is worth the money. However if you're looking for just pure academic background then it may not hold so much for you. The school is very well rounded and everything is always moving about. Community service and even school campus jobs are available to help with tuition.

    For what ASU gives you, you definitely get your money's worth. The tuition is about 15,000 a year, half of what most colleges cost, and they provide you with rental textbooks and the bus system and housing and food. It's crazy. I definitely thought I'd have to pay for this stuff on my own but it's so convenient that it's counted in the tuition and still cost such a small amount!
