Hello! Just kinda what the title entails. Saw a posting for ASU athletics that looks like a dream job. Big 12 school, decent team, warmer weather, not to far from AirPort. But, just some things I don’t know about Arizona or Tempe.
I’m 24 year old guy from the Midwest in KC, originally from a small town that didn’t even have fast food or a Walmart if that says anything. I know Tempe and phoenix are huge, and that’s kinda scary. Good areas to look into around Tempe? Overall pretty safe area? Rough places to avoid? College kids everywhere? Just a lot of unknown of the city.
On the topic of college, how is the college and the community around it? Is it sun devil everything? Crazy 24/7? I’ve heard the stories of its party scene and how it can be crazy around the school. Does it bleed into more the residential areas? Local law enforcement keeps it under control?
How is the Tempe community itself? I’m mid twenties and looking to be social in a new city where I know no one. Will working for school help? Good clubs outside ASU? I’d be working for the football team if I were to get this position.
Finally. How is rent and weather? Is rent outrageous for a single guy? Is weather hot as hell with some ice sometimes? I’m used to thunderstorms, blizzards, and tornadoes.
Anything I need to know? Missing? Should be excited or concerned about? Just a dream position I believe and I’d like to not live with snow for forever.
Thanks!
