The School of Social Work has its strong points and areas that could use improvement. The school has great ties to the Tucson community and a wide variety of internship possibilities. This has been the best and most helpful part of my education. There are also night classes available for students who are working or have other responsibilities during the day. The classes and instructors have been hit or miss. Some classes have felt like a complete waste of time and money and the only reason students...

My experience at Arizona State University has been exceptional. I graduated with my Bachelor's of Social Work degree in 2016, where I was able to maximize my learning capabilities because of the wonderful instructors I acquired, along with the extraordinary campus resources that were provided. I was able to build strong relationships with my instructors and fellow students throughout my time at this university. I felt supported in this program, and felt like the needs of my education were always... Read More put first. Arizona State University actively seeks to provide students with a safe environment. If I felt unsafe for any reason, I could easily request a campus staff member to walk with me to the parking lot, and they would do so happily. I also was able to utilize the writing center as a resource to guide me in professional resume writing. This tool was very helpful in providing me with a pathway to achieve my future career goals. I would highly recommend Arizona State University as a leading university that specializes in quality and takes the needs of their students very seriously.

I attended the Tucson School of Social Work to receive my MSW. What I liked about the program was that it was small, so you can get to know your classmates and teachers very well. Attending the Tucson location means that if you are looking for opportunities to get involved in government, advocacy, or research, your options are limited and you'd have to make a serious effort to connect to faculty and organizations in Phoenix. Also, this is not the school's fault, but the cost of the degree is not... Read More commensurate with pay in the field. Before applying to this program, get a job in behavioral health with an employer who will do tuition reimbursement. Although I now have a job in the field, I'm pretty sure I will never pay off all of my student loans before I die.

Find your own way at ASU. Otherwise you'll get swept up in the Sun Devil madness, own more red and yellow clothing than you ever wanted, and by the time you're done realize that your skin tone has taken on a slightly more of a jaundice/sunburn look than you would have liked. Also, you'll be compelled to look and act like a displaced SoCal resident so much that you'll lose most other sense of identity. So take my advice; drink the coolaide sparingly, go to a few games, and enjoy the Sun Devil atmosphere;... Read More but don't join the pack. Find your own way.
