This section of our Freshman Experience Web Site is arranged differently as we have gathered a variety of information about ourselves and other freshman. Our Student Section has five subsections:
Demographics on the First Freshman Class at ASU West Thanks to Dr. Vince Waldron and Dr. Emily Cutrer, we were able to get some demographic information about the first freshmen at ASU West. These are listed below in chart form. All our charts were created using Microsoft Excel.
About half of
us are first-generation college students.
All of us had
encouragement from our parents and guidance
counselors to go to a four-year
university. Each of us is
financing our college education in different ways.
Almost 40% of
us have our expenses paid by family
members. About
one-quarter of us have no financial support from
our families. The majority
of freshmen come from within Arizona, with only 6%
coming from out of state. Most of those
freshmen from Arizona come from the Phoenix area,
especially the Northwest Valley. 87% of us are
working part-time or full-time as we attend ASU
West. The graph at
the right reflects our weekly work
hours. One-quarter of
the freshman have not decided on a
major. The rest of us
have declared majors, but we know our choices may
change in the next few semesters as we develop
interests in specific areas.
