University of Utah Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about the U so far is the parking. It is an extremely large campus, and if you get an affordable parking pass, it puts you half mile to a mile away from any popular building. I don't remember having to walk this much at any of the other colleges I've attended.

That there are many prerequisite classes that are unnecessary. I feel like I have taken many classes that are not applicable to the field of study that I am going into which is Physical Therapy. I had to take many math classes like Trigonometry, Algebra, and Statistics but I will not be using math very often if at all when I become a Physical Therapist. Math is just one example of these unnecessary classes. If we could take classes only that will be meaningful to us and teach us only what we need to know then that would be great.

Having to walk to classes that are clear on the otherside of campus than your class before.

There is not a lot of diversity. It has improved over the years, but still limited.

As a working adult, I would love to see more internet based classes. College is extemly expensive and being able to work and attend school online is essential. I wish the University of Utah offered more online classes.

The faculty-to-student ratio is very low. It is hard to find time to ask questions or have a discussion with the professors.

Some classes are purely lecture and it's SO boring. Pure lecture and then your grade is based on nothing but 3 or 4 exams. It's VERY conducive to a lot of stress.

This school is a commuters school so traffic in the morning is horrible

the cold weather, limited amount of classes to take for upper disvision, expensive cost for textbooks

The most frustrating thing about my school is perhaps how there is a limited selection to upper division courses. It causes upper division students to have to schedule their work around school because they only have the option to take a course at one or two times that conflict with another limited upper division course. It is difficult to get a good schedule that works well for you academically and careerwise.
