Logan, UT
Utah State University

Utah State University is an incredible school. I have spent many leadership conferences there with my high school Student Government, as well as a Business and Marketing Conference, and I have fallen in love with USU. The environment is like no other campus I've ever experienced and I am hoping to become a part of the Aggie Family this coming Fall!

As a Geology Major, Logan and Utah State is a perfect location and program. Within city limits and even on campus, if you know where to look, you can find the ancient shoreline of Lake Bonneville from 14,000 years ago. Settled in the northern stretch of the Wasatch Mountains, inside and outside Logan Canyon you have access to many outdoor recreational activities, including Bear Lake. City life is small, compared to Brigham Young University or even the University of Utah being located in big cities respectfully.

My opinion, on Utah State University they’re an incredible school filled with endless opportunities. You can could never miss a chance on being part of the Aggie family. They have offer many different things that are just right for your interests.

Utah State University is great for anyone looking for a campus close to numerous outdoor activities and great people. There is always something to do whether you are on or off campus. You can hike the wind caves in the summertime, or you can ski/snowboard at the nearby ski resort in winter. The professors also seem to care about your success just as much as you do. They all have regular office hours you can attend to get help with whatever you need. As long as you are willing to learn, they are willing to teach in a way you understand. With the number of resources available to help you succeed, getting through each semester is not too bad. Go Aggies!

Utah State is essentially a Mormon school. If you are LDS, you will feel welcome and comfortable. There are very few events that cater to non-LDS students and extremely low diversity on campus. I've experienced regular discrimination as a non-LDS student. Students who are comfortable with this type of environment will enjoy the small-town feel and quiet atmosphere on campus. The town is very supportive of the school and there are plenty of outdoor opportunities available.

I want to love Utah State, I really do, but I haven't been able to since I don't live in the dorms or "student" housing (no one leaves those buildings and they seem to only ever make friends with people on their floor). USU showers you with great information with orientation, campus is beautiful, academics are pretty good, the surrounding area has lots to do, you'll come here excited, and then make zero friends if you aren't LDS (or white, since campus has like approximately zero diversity). Way too much LDS influence and presence for a state school, with way too many LDS events going on all the time. I thought I was making a lot of great friends at first, then they learned I wasn't LDS and basically treated me like I had the plague. Some people say they "never notice," but I honestly find that hard to believe. I hear people talking about church stuff daily everywhere. Great if you're in that world, not great if you're just normal. Nothing exciting ever happens on campus like they do at other state campuses, in spite of a lot of "events." People just walk to class and go home. The Howl is a joke, unless you like high school dances and Rockstar energy drinks. Everyone gets way too excited about the True Aggie 'kissing' nights (I guess kissing is a big huge deal for Mormons?). Apparently just talking to girls here means you literally want to marry them, so they'll all treat you like a psycho if they don't think you're cute, and they're pretty much all engaged or married already by 20. People are friendly-ish, but that's about it; really difficult to break the chatting barrier and get people to actually DO things. EVERYONE GOES HOME (like 2+ hours away home) on the weekends. EVERYONE. Logan is a ghost town Friday-Sunday. Who goes to college to go back 'home' every single weekend? I guess Utah LDS people do for Sunday dinners and family time or whatever. If you're a quiet person who enjoys not really doing anything at all, USU is perfect. If you're looking to actually gain experience, have a fun judgement free time, and learn some new perspectives, USU is a nightmare. Run away as fast and far as you can.

An amazing school! Attending Utah State University has been an outstanding experience. The professors are not only approachable, but sincere in their desire for their students to be high achieving. The extra curricular events are amazing and of course, it is hard to resist Aggie Ice cream! I highly recommend this university to everyone who asks.

USU is a wonderful friendly and professional teaching staff, a special atmosphere, a high level of training of specialists in all spheres of life. There are regular internships, scientific seminars, masterclasses, many cultural events are held.

When it comes down to the education that can be received through USU, I would say it's great. However, I have many issues with how the school is run. Tuition has started rising each year causing it to be even harder to afford school. These increases in tuition seem to result in new buildings that aren't needed. They don't go to increasing the pay of staff and they don't go back into the students except for in these buildings. From everything I have heard and learned about the school as well, it sounds like they aren't using the tuition increases to even pay for the new buildings. They already have the funds for the buildings and the increase in tuition is going to the paychecks of only a few who don't really need it.

Utah State University is an amazing school. There are so many resources available for students here including resources in academics, physical health, mental health, and personal growth. The professors care about student success and do their best to help the students while also making them grow. The campus is beautiful, the student involvement is fantastic, and the overall campus feeling welcoming.
