Considering moving to Phoenix, just a thought. More questions contained inside about AZ and ASU.

ASU will be a downgrade from UF, yes, but for the sake of my health I am seriously considering going to Arizona so I get all the heat I love with none of the humidity. Humidity seems to really affect my breathing, which in turn heavily affects my oxygen intake and energy levels. So don't bother commenting about the "blazing heat" because as a Floridian I can assure you humid heat is worse than dry heat.

Few things. What can you tell me about Arizona living and ASU, especially their Computer Science program? I assume Phoenix has similar safety levels to Orlando, or is safer because it's not FLORIDA. How do taxes and suburban housing differ from what's in Florida?

Is it easy to get around (i.e. how is the public transportation) Phoenix? How empty is the area outside of Phoenix (i.e. how easy is it to get to the middle of nowhere in case I'm too tired of people)? Where would be the best areas to live that isn't too crowded but it wouldn't take me too long to get to ASU?

For those that know me please don't ask about the details of why I'm choosing to transfer aside from health, it's a long story I'd rather not talk about (I'm serious).
