The best school in Arizona, ASU is widely known as the Harvard of the Southwest. Since President Crow has revitalized the academic atmosphere of the prestigious institution, ASU has become a hub for higher learning and education. Although not an Ivy League school, ASU is number one in innovation (ahead of Stanford and MIT) and has division one athletics, attracting the best athletes the US has to offer. In the process of dropping off the 'party school' list, ASU has securely cemented itself at the top of the academic ladder, earning the moniker 'Harvard of the Southwest'.

Get the Harvard of the Southwest mug.(Adj.) Used to desribe something that is Harvard- Westlake esque and posh. Normally something like J-brands, Lacoste(something expensive!) And I also want to say that most people think Harvard-Westlake is a place for stuck-up rich white kids who have no idea what th world around them is like. I would like to say that you have no figgin idea what your talking about. You can think what ever the hell you want but seriously maybe you should go to the school before you talk shit about it.
