party scene

Doesn't compare, UA's scene is leaps and bounds ahead. That being said, ASU has way better night life and GDI parties. UA is basically greeklife and greeklife at bars.

You're not going to get any accurate answers here. Even if you talk to someone who transferred from one school to another, it's totally a matter of opinion. Like the above poster said, ASU has better nightlife and bars. UA is all about the frat parties, and even some good GDI parties (lacrosse, hockey, etc), but the bars are pretty limited once you turn 21.
