A great attraction in the hot valley of Arizona is Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State. Why is it so nice? The first thing to most likely notice about it is its great, green lawn in the front. Arizona State maintains this lawn in order to keep it healthy. A reason to keep the grass healthy is to keep up a healthier environment for the Arizona State students a better place to live at. Not only is the lawn nice and well kept, but so are many of the other landscaping on campus. Arizona State has native and drought resistant plants. It is great to have these plants on campus to keep a better atmosphere of course, but also because these types of plants reduce water needed for irrigation. There is a Sustainability House at Barret, the Honors College. The Sustainability House features low pressure plumbing, enhanced energy monitoring, and a garden. Barrett, the Honors College gives students options, which is a privilege and also attracts students to want to attend the honors college at Arizona State University.
