Salt Lake City, UT
University of Utah

The University of Utah is an oddity, for it's founded in a desert valley, and rests upon the Wasatch foothills. It's a football powerhouse, and an artistic safe haven. The University has made a great effort to provide activities and support for all kinds of interests. Whether you enjoy ancient philosophy or are a lacrosse connoisseur, there's a place for you. And while the fun stuff is great, the academics are even better. I was shocked to find out how much the professors genuinely wish for students to succeed, and its partly due to the small class sizes. I'm finishing my freshman year, and not once have I felt drowned out by others. The class selections are also miles beyond other schools I've looked into. There's so many choices for general education that they don't even feel like gen ed's, and major classes are even more specialized and interesting. Overall, The University of Utah is a great school for students who wish to feel like they're still a person. The whole student body is relativity small compared to other universities, and it makes me feel like i'm apart of a community. That I'm here to get an education and be apart of something greater than me.

I do love the University of Utah and it has a lot of great opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. It is a large campus with a lot of people so if you want to get involved in something you have to search it out yourself. I feel like it's as safe as most campuses, I feel perfectly safe during the day time and when it's light outside being a woman, and the residential areas are very well lit when it's dark but I still don't feel comfortable going out at night by myself but I do if I have another person with me.

I LOVE the University of Utah. People are focused on the right things, care about each other, the community, and the environment. There are great undergraduate research opportunities and ways to make a difference in the community. Everyone is super supportive and excited about their dreams and successes. This is exactly the place where I am supposed to be. The University of Utah is where you can make your dreams happen.

Overall, the University of Utah provides a great education given the cost of tuition. The university doesn't however, make it easy for students to find school specific scholarships. Also, while I know campus safety is important, in the past two years multiple people have died to the the schools lack of security and trust in students. Also the university doesn't place intrapersonal safety, i.e mental health as a high priority.

I really enjoy my experience so far at the University of Utah. For the most part, most people are very kind and helpful and that is students or faculty. The location of the campus is very close the mountains and that is something I really enjoy. I also really like all the resources that are available to me on the campus.

I had a very poor experience at the University of Utah and wouldn't suggest it to any of my friends who are starting school or transferring. Most of the courses seem elementary and most professors don't seem to care. The negative experience I had with the therapy they offer made me feel even less valued as a student. The worst part about the school is the financial aid department. Every semester the school would hold my funds, release them after the tuition deadline (so that I would have to pay hefty late fees out of my own pocket), and then would never tell me why they held my funds in the first place.

When I first toured this university (after touring many others in California), I immediately fell in love. The students all have a communal thirst for learning, everyone is incredibly friendly and active in the community, the professors are absolutely stellar and show a vested interest in every student's education, and the campus is simply breath taking. I could not be happier with the school I chose, and I am constantly convincing others to attend this underrated school in this brilliant city. At the University of Utah, I feel like I was made to go to college because my experience has been so incredible. I cannot say enough about the pride, beauty, connection, and level of high education that this university possesses. It is great for anyone who craves the big university experience. It cannot be beaten.

The biggest problem with the University of Utah, is they try to force their liberal views down everyone else's throats. At a debate tournament hosted there, the university debate team lined every square inch of the walls with homosexual art and constantly interrupted other peoples study and preparation time to promote themselves.

I really enjoy the University of Utah. I transferred here from BYU, and would highly recommend the University of Utah to any students that are considering a degree in Electrical Engineering. The EE faculty here are absolutely incredible. They will move mountains to make sure that you succeed. While at BYU, I never felt exceptionally excited to be an Electrical Engineer. I was in it for the future career and money making options, not the joy of learning about electronics. Now, at the U, I can say I am excited to be an Electrical Engineer. The college is very organized, responsive, and academically enlightening. The facilities are world class. The extra-curricular activities and scholarships are also good bonuses.

The University of Utah is a great school that has room for a lot of different opinions and mindsets. It's growing all the time and I always appreciated how diverse the majors were and how they tried to keep things up to date and relevant in the every-changing world. I would say for the most part the school has pretty much anything you could want, however, as of late there have been some issues with safety. And it's more about the campus police not taking student threats more seriously. I know they are working on this and I'm hoping with the students being outspoken about this issue that it will be resolved.
