Mia - 02/27/2024

Being a freshman here I have loved it. The people are all so nice and helpful around campus. Professors do a great job getting to know their students on an individual level which is important to me. The student government on campus does a great job advertising games and events happening on campus and there always seems to be something to do. Overall I love this school and know that I made the right decision to come here!

Reagan - 02/26/2024

The school definitely has something special about it! The people are constantly together in the common areas with tons of groups and activities. I recommend going for a visit if you can especially if you are considering Utah Tech as your school of choice you’ll have a blast.

Kennedy - 09/29/2023

I will be attending next fall and I am super excited ! I have always wanted to go to this school ever since I was little ! I will be playing on the softball team while I am attending and I am super excited ! I love the atmosphere of the school and the people there ! The area is awesome there is so much to do and so many shops and places to get food !

Michael - 01/21/2023

It's a very good neighborhood college. I love the smaller town feel as well as the accessibility of stores and restaurants. I would say that the biggest problem at Utah Tech (new name for DSU) is parking and transportation. It is right next to I15 and I15 divides the city in half with only a few ways to get across. No parking garages so the lots are always very crowded.
