University of Utah Top Questions

The University of Utah is an amazing school. It is continually growing and adapting to fit the industry. It treats it's students well and the educational level is amazing.

I love the School and the Campus is amazing, the new facilities are just stunning. So much stuff to do around campus that you'll never get bored

The University of Utah is a very big school, and it's tough finding the right path to your dream. Advising for me wasn't very helpful. But I used that experience to make me stronger and even more motivated to accomplish my dream to become a visual development artist for Disney by finding my own path and laying down my own road. Throughout this tough time of laying my own foundation, I'm getting some wounds. Though they may be painful, I now see I bleed red! GO UTES!

The University of Utah is a big school, so one can find just about anything here. As far as the student body, it is not very diverse. Lots of young white Mormon kids. I am a graduate student so I spend most of my time in my cubicle in one building on one side of campus, but I do occasionally venture out to the library, pool or gym. The library is nice, but the gym leaves a lot to be desired. They are, however, building a new one.

I spend most my time on the lower campus and most of my time in the dorms. People are sometimes surprised that I go to Utah. The recent controversy was that the RIAA sued 12 members for downloading music using file sharing. That was quite interesting. School pride happens at athletic events

I really like Utah. There's lots to do - mountains close by, downtown close by, etc. The professors that I've had are excellent. The university is well funded and state of the art. The institute of religion here is excellent. I'd recommend coming here to anyone.

The U has a great campus. I love being on campus, whether it's by the classes or by the dorms and being surrounded by students. The one thing I don't like is that the dorms are kinda far from the classrooms. The bus services are really nice though.

Campus is GORGEOUS. It's like walking through a park. However, the parking stinks, so try to live on campus and walk to class or take the campus shuttle. If you live off campus, take the bus, carpool, or take TRAX. We get free public transportation as students.

The University of Utah isn't necessarily a traditional "college town", but a burgeoning arts, culture, restaurant and bar scene is just a two-minute bike ride down the hill from campus. If you don't want to do the bike thing, there's light rail -- known as "Trax" -- that connects the U with downtown and the rest of the valley. Trax is also nice for those living off-campus, which many students do. There is a business district adjacent to campus with more restaurants, record stores, bike shops and other retail, and there are plans for a mixed-use development just south of the U's football stadium, along the Trax stadium stop. Plans for this include residential, retail and food, anchored by a local brewpub, Squatter's. One of the real advantages of attending the U is the school's proximity to world-class skiing, snowboarding, mountain-biking, hiking and climbing. Salt Lake City was chosen as the host of 2002 Winter Olympics for a reason -- world-class resorts like Snowbird, Alta and Park City Mountain are less than hour from campus. Right behind campus is a network of hiking and biking trails that wind up into the Wasatch Mountains. Utah also has the highest number of golf courses per capita in the country, and with a nine-hole course right on campus, there's been many days in spring where I've been able to golf, ski and go to school all in the same day.

I think Utah is a big school... maybe too big. It's mainly a commuter campus, which means that many people only see each other during class.
