Home to Arizona State University, Tempe is a warm and friendly college town located in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area.

For a little food and recreation, there are dozens of restaurants, bars, and cute boutiques in Tempe's Mill Avenue District. If you'd like some excitement, head down to Sun Devil Stadium to see some ASU teams in action. The annual Tempe Music Festival and the P.F. Chang's Rock N Roll Marathon also draw big crowds to the town. There are also hiking trails and scenic drives throughout the region, which are great for mountain bikers, climbers, or other adventure enthusiasts. For golfers, Tempe will put you close to the action, with world-class greens, including the four-star ASU Karsten Golf Course in Tempe proper.
