Settle in
There’s no better way to ensure an immersive and successful academic experience than living on campus. As a part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, we recommend you live in the Liberal Arts and Sciences Residential College your first year. You’ll have access to various academic resources and events tailored to your educational interests which will help ensure your academic success. The Tempe campus is also home to upper-division housing for students who wish to continue living on campus after their freshman year. From apartment-style and double-occupancy accommodations to suite-style housing arrangements, you’ll have a variety of convenient living options to choose from.
Get involved
If you want to amplify your undergraduate experience and take your academics to the next level, we encourage you to get involved in a club, an organization for physics students or a research initiative. It’s a great way to meet fellow students with similar interests while developing highly sought after skills desired by potential employers. Each of our student involvement activities and clubs is designed to help you excel academically while in school and beyond. Whether you want to join the workforce or pursue a graduate degree after graduation, these are the type of activities that will help you reach your fullest potential, both personally and professionally.
Study well
We polled our students, and these are the top study spots for physics majors:
1. SPS Room
The perfect spot for when you need both a quiet place to study AND other classmates around to help and answer questions. And you can't beat the convenience of the location!
2. Noble Library
Right across the walk from most of your classes, private study rooms, and there's a Starbucks. What more could you want? Group study sessions can also be scheduled in the upstairs rooms.
3. Armstrong Hall
The newly renovated building is full of quiet study nooks, and no too much foot traffic. Explore the first floor and basement for the perfect table. Einstein's is handy for nutrients and caffeine alike.
4. Outside
Don't let summer fool you - it won't really last forever. Whether it's an outdoor table at The Crepe Club or a picnic blanket on the grass in front of Old Main, campus is full of sunny options for when you don't want to feel cooped up.
5. Home
You hardly need us to tell you this, but sometimes there's just no replacement for your own space!
Need a little extra help? Don't wait until you feel like you're drowning. Seeking out help early and often can help you manage your time, get ahead, test more confidently, and get the most out of your classes!
