Arizona State University

ASU consists of three anchor campuses. The main campus, located in Tempe, has approximately 43,000 students and offers 86 undergraduate, 97 master's and 52 doctoral degree programs.

Arizona State is a member of the Pacific-Ten University division with many competitive athletic teams, not to mention intramurals. The men's baseball team is ranked number four, and the women's softball team is ranked number six.

Talk about a good location - ASU Main is located in the heart of the city. There are many attractions within a small radius of the campus; the newly developed Tempe Town Lake and Arizona Mills Mall are nearby. Another perk at ASU is their golf course.

All these great amenities come to about $15,000 a year for out-of-state tuition, room and board (in-state is $7,600).
