University of Utah Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is parking. Either you have to pay for parking daily, or purchase a permit for the semester/year. Either sucks. Even with a parking permit, it's difficult to find parking. And when you DO find a parking spot, it's usually a few blocks away from class.

The worst thing about the University of Utah is how hard it is to get involved in the big organizations on campus

Feelings of negativety toward LDS students.

The worst thing would be the dorm beds. Hard as a rock but with no structual intergrity.

It is not as open minded as a college should be. A university should push the envelope in your developement.

the worst thing about my school is that it is really expensive

Finding the buildings and classrooms because there are so many, and there far from each other.

The Mormon religion dominates a large part of the culture of the University and surrounding areas. That is not necessarily a horrible thing, but if you are not Mormon it can make you feel somewhat alienated.

I believe I would have felt more enriched by being part of a diverse community. Instead, a large and noticeable portion of the students had the same beliefs, values, race, and political stances, which directly correlated to their lack of the concepts of equality and tolerance. At times, wandering the campus reminded me of a high school cafeteria. However, the professors were largely neutral and fair when it came to discussing controversial topics, challenging both sides of a debate.

Some people consider lots of partying a good thing, but personally I find it obnoxious to always be surrounded by drunks on the weekend. There are a lot of parties going on every weekend. It's both good and bad, but it's the only complaint I have about the University of Utah.

That it is a big "commuter" school. There are a lot of people that commute to campus from surrounding cities so it can be difficult at times to make friends that live close by. I think this is more so a problem if you live off campus or commute yourself and not so much if you live on campus.

A commuter school. Its hard to get involved unless you are outgoing.

Smoking on campus, it's not healthy for anyone and not fair to those who choose not to smoke. It smells awful.

It's Utah so sometimes I feel as though people can be overly judge-y either against non-Mormons or against Mormons. Everyone should just get along better although Utah is also known for it's insane friendliness.

So many people smoke on campus, and don't stay in the smoking sections. I hate that I don't have a choice for smoke free air. Other students really ruin that for me. I hate it because I am pregnant and that can be dangerous to the fetus

The worst thing about my school is that if I am going to take 12 credit hours every fall and spring semester it will take 5 years to graduate. I have to work to support myself and can only afford 12 credits, since the tution is per credit hour. I thought I was going to a "4 year" accredited university.

I think the worst thing is having to walk so far to get to my next class. The reason why is becuase sometimes I arrive late to my next class becuase my other class was to far.

I feel the worst thing about the University of Utah is the lack of involvement to give information out to the student body. It is very hard to find answers one may need such as fin aid, scholarship, etc. The school I feel does not give out enough info often enough to get students on the band wagon to get invovled.

The large commuter population sometimes creates a damper on the attitude of full-time traditional students. Non-traditional students often go to the university for different reasons. These reasons can detract from the motivation of the stereotypical college student.
