Arizona State University-West Stats, Info and Facts

A smaller, less-popular campus means a smaller population of students. This results in smaller classes and less distractions--as well as a stronger sense of community. Comparatively, the West campus of ASU is far smaller than Tempe and surrounded by far fewer businesses and commuters (there are about three streets that are visible from campus). It is much easier to learn the campus (or, harder to get lost), and if all that distracting, party-life stuff is your thing, you can always take the inter-campus shuttle over to Tempe ('Main') campus and back. You can also take classes at any of the campuses. (The best of both worlds, I'd say.)
