Where to find passionate storytellers?

Hey man I’ve just been bummed out since class started last week. I’m reflecting on my decision to go to ASU and I’m regretting hard.
I keep on thinking I should have gone to NYU or Occidental. I could have been surrounded by passionate, inspired artists. Top tier improv theater and troupes would be just outside of campus. Thrilling urban life around me. But instead I’m here in a massive glob of suburb ringed, hundreds of miles from an actual city.
But I’ve consoled myself by believing that there must be a group of friends here waiting for me. Some fiery maniacs who genuinely need to write and create art, because their minds are just wired like that. They need art to survive.

So. Where should I be able to find these people? There’s 50k students at ASU and plenty of clubs. This a massive haystack, I’d really appreciate it if you could give me a magnet.

Have you connected with the artist community in Downtown Phoenix? Roosevelt Row and other areas are urban centers of art here.
