    ASU has the large Tempe campus, and the separate engineering campus in Mesa.
    is Mesa a good safe area?

    Polytechnic campus is good for hands on learning. Very little to do compared to Tempe campus, so has its pros/cons.

    Tempe campus is good for theoretical (and not hands on).

    My brother and SIL live in Mesa and both their sons are attending ASU. Let me know if you want and I can get you their number if your kid needs a good clean straight shooting family to make friends with. Both boys are very smart and straight laced kids.

    I went to Tempe and Downtown Campus for my major. Great times! I would recommend Tempe for sciences due to the better lab facilities.

    Mesa is generally a white trash adventure.

    Please elaborate. The parts of Mesa that I've checked out seem OK. Is there a dark side there?

    BTW, are there any hydro races coming up on the waterway by the freeway?

    Yes, Wild Horse Pass next month. https://racewildhorse.com/event/2021-drag-boat-nationals/

    I wish I could have gone to one of the races when I lived in AZ, but there's always another year I guess.

    Mesa is just fine. There are plenty of exclusive homes and neighborhoods that rival the ones in Scottsdale and PV. And just like most areas there are the parts you don't want to be in after dark. Dino is just being a Dickhead LOL!

    Don’t ask me. My daughter went to Dartmouth in 2002. I coulda brought a nice condo on the river for $250,000. I didn’t because that wasn’t groovy, or so I’m told. I haven’t looked in a while, but I’m guessing that same condo is close to $1 million.

    Same story in Palo Alto in 2008, except the condo was $650,000 with no parking. I don’t even want to know what the damn thing goes for today.
