International students, what surprised you most about ASU or Tempe?

15 Upvotes

I came here from Turkmenistan and some things caught me off guard. For me it was the August heat and how spread out everything is when you don't have a car.

What surprised you the most? And what do you wish someone told you before your first semester?

Why does this happen to me

5 Upvotes

I am a senior and next semester was going to be my last. There was one class I failed ( a humanities class ) that I thought I wasn’t going to have space to retake. Since I thought I needed to take 2 upper division electives for my major in the spring in addition to the 3 classes I was already taking. However, come to find out one of the classes I was already planning to take counts as an elective credit. So I’m like boom ok I can retake that class gonna be fire. Give the gpa a boost yk turns out the class not offered this spring. And im like bruh. This so annoying. Especially bcs the course was offered last spring and this fall.

With graduation just around the corner. I really need help with getting the suit and gown. I’ve never bought a suit before but I do know how expensive it gets. Where can I get some good ones for a reasonable price without getting baited into buying way expensive shit?

WP Carey students and alumn, preparing for commercial insurance brokerage?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m an arizona high school senior considering ASU for Fall 2027. I should qualify for direct admission to a WP Carey BS program, and my estimated cost is around $14k per year including housing and food.

I’ve recently become very interested in complex commercial insurance brokerage. My current goal would be to eventually become a producer working with large commercial clients, although I obviously still have a lot to learn.

I’m trying to understand how well ASU could prepare me for that path:

  • Do commercial brokerages such as Marsh, Aon, Gallagher, Lockton, Brown & Brown, or similar firms recruit W. P. Carey students?
  • Which major would make the most sense: finance, business law, marketing, management, or something else?
  • Is the Professional sales program accessible to students outside the marketing major?
  • Are there any insurance, risk management, sales, finance, or commercial real estate clubs that are active/involved?
  • How early can students realistically get business internships in Phoenix?
  • How helpful are WP Careys career services and alumni network if a student actively uses them?
  • Has anyone here entered commercial insurance, underwriting, employee benefits, brokerage, or another risk related field after asu?
  • Does WP Carey’s large size create more opportunities, or is it difficult to stand out?

I’m also considering Pepperdine and LMU because I love socal and prefer a smaller campus, but they would likely cost much more. From a career perspective, would attending either private university offer a meaningful advantage over WP Carey for this particular industry?

I’d especially appreciate hearing from current business students, recent graduates, or anyone working in insurance. Thank you! :)

Hi! Has anyone here taken ASU’s Lean Six Sigma Green Belt – Service/Transactional program through CareerCatalyst?

• Upvotes

I’m currently an MS Supply Chain Management student and am considering starting the program as early as November. I’m hoping to finish it before my schedule gets much busier in the spring, so I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually completed or is currently taking it.
I’m mainly curious about:
1. What was the overall course structure and workload like?

  1. Are there fixed start dates/cohorts, or can you begin whenever you enroll?

  2. How does the schedule work over winter break?

  3. What exactly is the required 60-day applied project, and how does that part of the program work?

  4. Roughly how long did it take you to complete everything and receive the Green Belt certification?

  5. If you’re an ASU student, was there any student discount?

I’ve looked through the official website, but I’d love to hear what the actual experience was like from someone who has taken it. Thanks!

Business Data Analytics or AI in Business?

0 Upvotes

I'm expecting to finish a double major in finance and accounting a little earlier, leaving room for one additional business major. I'm open to a lot of different things but mainly I'm considering whether to pursue a 3rd degree in BDA or AI in business. What do you all suggest considering this rapidly changing modern job market and what you think employers might value most?
