Katlyn ONovember 17, 2013$5 lot is now the $6 lot so make sure to bring an extra dollar! If that's full, there is FREE parking down the street on Garfield. It's a bit of a walk, but definitely worth it.
It may be the desert but this building is always freezing so be sure to dress appropriately. Get involved! Must See Mondays are hosted in the FIrst Amendment Forum at 7pm.
The location is convenient to nearby restaurants. The second floor screen show is pleasing and the study room is quite
Catie HahneNovember 15, 2013Being a Cronkite student myself I highly recommend it. The teachers are fantastic and the curriculum is very interesting. They school cares about their students!
The library on the second floor is a great place to study because it's quiet, there's also some great reading materials available there like Bloomberg Businessweek.
Julia TylorFebruary 12, 2013If you need to edit video and the 6th-floor edit bays are full, the "radio ranch" on the 3rd floor is full of edit bays that often aren't in use (so long as there isn't a class going on).- Hayden PackwoodFebruary 14, 2013The sixth floor edit bays are better to use than the third floor ones. You won't have professors kicking you out so their class can use them. Also, you can check out the brand new FSN Suns Studio!
amanda TMarch 29, 2012WCS is one of 24 independent schools at ASU. If you are an incoming journalism major this is the place to be. You will gain great knowledge, and will not regret graduating from this school!
Harmony HuskinsonJanuary 25, 2012The teachers typically most like the rooms on the south side of third and fourth floors with the tables in the shape of a "U" and computers on the walls. These rooms also have windows.
Rainet LewisMarch 29, 2012There is a police desk on the 1st floor & if you have any problems, you can talk to them. The building is beautiful & it is spacious. I went to this school for several of my classes in the past.- Eiram SkramMarch 20, 2012Everyone says this school is cold so bring a sweater, but I have had two classes in room 414 and it is the COLDEST room in the building. The thermostat is broken; maintenance has said it. Bundle up!
Marlee BeverNovember 13, 2013I usually like to study in the 2nd floor library. It's really quiet and there are computers there as well if you don't want to bring a laptop!
To get to teachers' offices on the third floor, turn right at the stairs and go all the way down the hall to your right. Then go through the double doors on the right. Voila!- Zach Solomon-BeloinMarch 4, 2014Incredible school. Dean Callahan has done a great job bringing in top-notch professors and implementing student feedback.
Arizona's living room with a giant TV. A public forum for understanding key issues of our time whether beamed in on channels or through live, interactive sessions with newsmakers.Come one, come all!- Eiram SkramMarch 18, 2012When using Final Cut Pro (and you will as a student here), name the folder you plan to keep all your files in "Video." This will keep you from having to reset the scratch disks each time you open FCP.
- Eiram SkramMarch 16, 2012Have your own camera if you take Photojournalism I (JMC 351). If not, you will have to rotate a camera with up to two other people. It's very hard to get assignments done this way. Invest in a camera.
- Eiram SkramMarch 12, 2012Mike Wong, the career services advisor, will send out newsletters every couple weeks with journalism internship and job opportunities for students. READ THESE EMAILS! They will help you get a job!
The library on the second floor is small but has a wide variety of magazines and newspapers. And sometimes, gems like New York magazine!
