I'm asking because I went to UTEP for undergraduate studies and it was incredibly hard and challenging. All closed book/note exams, hard exam questions, strict grading procedures, and the professors knew you by name. I then went to NAU Tucson for graduate studies and it was so much easier. I barely made it at UTEP because it was so hard. I did much better at NAU.

I'm asking about ASU because I wonder if Arizona is an easier state than Texas or if El Paso was a very academically challenging city. Phoenix seems like a very easy city academically. I'm not sure why El Paso was so hard.

That’s probably the most polite and convoluted way of saying the students of AZ aren’t smart enough to attend college in Texas.

But the basis is an NAU satellite campus in Tucson...

ASU looks like a big rutgers

I went to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunications at ASU and it was challenging and fun. It wasn't "easy" and I had to work hard but I learned quite a bit. I never was given a chance to redo my work for a better grade in any of my classes whether outside my college of my major or not. I attended the University of Louisville for a year before I transferred to ASU, so it felt just as difficult, if not harder, at ASU. I enjoyed it all. Oh, to be back in those days. I didn't appreciate it like I should!!!!
