Tempe, Arizona SperlingViews

I've been in Tempe for several years and am not that impressed. The university area is ethnically diverse without being culturally diverse.

PROS:
The Weather from September to May is WONDERFUL!
The entire southwest is up-and-coming.

CONS:
Compared to other metro areas, there isn't much to do here.
This is the most lame university I've ever been around.
The people aren't friendly here at all.
