Hey guys,

I recently got accepted into ASU graduate school to do my PhD.

Could anyone tell me their experience with ASU, life in the valley for graduate students.

I am male, 24 and currently live in Chicago. How easy is it to meet people, get around, nightlife, things to do.

Thank you!

Well, if you like girls you will be in a really good place....much better than upstate NY. This is party land!
The living costs are also cheap around here, except for food......bad and expensive, too many chains and no 'mom&pop's' restaurants. Get ready to cook, if you like good, healthy (decent) food and take it to campus with you....otherwise you stipend will go fast and you will get that nasty grad student stress belly.
If you stay in Tempe, all you will need is a cheap bycicle, the roads are flat, nice bike paths and you have everything you need, from party to hospitals (important for boozers) all in a 1 mile radius from campus. Otherwise, if you like to go farther you will need a car, since everything out is quite far....this is auto land!
Other than that....hahahah (cynic laugh), after 6 years of grad school in 2 countries...Welcome!
