Arizona State University is gettin' a Walmart.

Walmart is apparently becoming a part of the American higher-education experience, as ASU is the third university to get a smaller Walmart store plopped right on its campus.

The store, which includes "financial services," a "basic" grocery, and a pharmacy, will be in the 5,000 square-foot location at Vista del Sol, the on-campus, dorm-ish apartments on the south side of the Tempe campus.

This is Walmart's third campus invasion, after opening at the University of Arkansas and Georgia Tech.

The ASU one is opening in May, but the question is, do you want it to?
