@honorroll123 I did not say the OP should dismiss it–quite the opposite. I said the OP should see for him/herself. As I said it did have very good credentials, but it just wasn’t for my D because of the size, weather and the fact that many (most?) classes were still in the general population.
Yes, that is correct, they have most of their classes still with the rest of ASU (or at least that was correct 2 years ago when we toured). This was surprising to us as well. They do have some Barrett only classes but most of the student’s classes are still with the general population. However, they do have an “honors” component to the classes (some or all the classes, I don’t remember). So they might take a class and then do some work above and beyond the regular class.
We did meet kids there that loved it, and the school appears to be having great success with their students.
Again, I recommend the OP take the tour and get more information. Two years ago when we were checking it out they offered to pay for travel for these visits, so it was a no-brainer to at least check it out.
And hopefully a current student can chime in with more information as all I know is what I learned in one day of touring.
