Hi! I will be starting my Ph.D. at ASU this fall. I am from India, so I am guessing the heat shouldn't be too much of an issue, although I have heard from fellow Indians that they do avoid staying on in Tempe during the peak summer months. Can someone tell me about Tempe as a city? Since I will be spending about five years there, I figure it would help to get a sense of what the city has to offer, and what the evenings/ weekends can look like. Also, would it make sense to live in the student apartment complexes or are there better neighborhoods near the campus?
