University of Utah Top Questions

I wish I would have known about the numerous research opportunities and did more to get in with one of the professors.

I wish I would have known how vigourous my studies were going to be, in order to better prepare myself for them. The engineering department was a significant challenge to my mind. I could have prepared better had I known the expectations. The vigourous cerebral undertaking did strengthen me considerably, however.

There is one thing I wish I had known before enrolling in the University of Utah. I would have taken the time to understand the community and the opportunities within the community. I feel the college experience is greatly influenced by the community and social structure designed by the school. The University Of Utah is often referred to as a commuter's school, which means students are not often invested in school events beyond their academic focus. This can make it difficult to connect with a peer groups on campus, outside of classes. There are pros and cons to this.

Huge religious (mormon) influence on everything in Salt Lake City as well as the University, extremely conservative and not wiling to accept outsiders, huge commuter school, no campus life whatsoever

I wish I would have known how much it snowed here. If you like snow, you will love it here.

All the financial aid available such as scholarships and grants, and resourses for the students!

Honestly nothing really!!! I like the excitement of just going off to a new place by myself and figuring out how to get around. I think it is the independence!!! It took me a while after high school...2 years to be exact to be emotionally ready to go off and live on my own!!! So I am proud of myself!!!

I wish that I had known the amount of reading that went into each class. You learn from the assigned reading, and not for homework like you do in high school.

I wish I would have known how much independent study is involved in all the courses. It takes a lot of work outside of class in order to keep up with the class.

There are certain dorms that are more of a party area and others that are more studious. The party ones are fun and cheaper but if you are not in to that scene I would not recomend living on campus.

There really isn't much that I can think of, my sister attended the same University so many of my questions were answered by her.

I wish that I knew that the city has smog problems from December through about March, but more importantly I wish I knew more about groups on and around campus.

How plan out your day to day activities and how much time to put into your classes outside of class.

A large portion of university students live off-campus, as the university is located in a large metropolitan area and has beds for less than 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of its undergraduate population in residence halls and single student apartments. An additional 1,115 family apartments are available to students, staff, and faculty. One of the university's primary four goals for long-term campus growth is to increase student engagement through the addition of on-campus housing, intramural fields, athletic centers, and a new student activity center.

Other than wanting more online classes, I love the University of Utah.

Before I came to the University of Utah, I wish I had known that taking on sixteen credits during my first semester was a bit much... I ended up dropping a class, so I would have enough time to appropriately study and do well.

I wish I had known about all of the resources and organizations the school has for students. There is a lot that the school has to offer besides just classes, and to get your money's worth and a good education in general, it is almost critical to utilize the resources that the school has to offer. I wish I would have known how important it is to jump in with both feet from the start.

I knew what I was coming to the University of Utah for. So there was no suprises.

What I know now about life. The University of Utah was amazing to me.

The culture.
