4. • How are CSUF and ASU similar?
– Fresno and Arizona are very much similar, I could find hardly any
differences. But the weather and areas are very similar. Both
schools offer my major as well.
• How are they different?
– Arizona is a slightly bigger school and a little harder to get into
then Fresno.

5. • Why did you choose CSUF and ASU?
– I chose CSUF and ASU because they are my top 2 schools
and I thought it would be nice to compare the 2.
• What do you personally like and dislike about each
college?
– The only complaint I have is about ASU and that’s out of
state tuition… to much money  it could be the reason I
end up not going there.

6. Based on your research, has your
opinion or interest changed about
CSUF or ASU?
• No, my research hasn’t changed my opinion
on either school. Arizona is still my #1 and
Fresno my #2. I would honestly be happy at
either school. The only reason I would end up
going to Fresno is if my parents really can’t
afford ASU or if I don’t get in… God forbid.
