Outdoor activities - lots of skiing, snowboarding, hiking, cycling, etc. Football Team- sutdent section (The MUSS) is a lot of fun

The best thing about my school was the transportation. We had light rail lines throughtout the city. All university students recieve a transit pass which allows you to ride for free. Since I lived off campus, I really like getting to school without my car.

There is a big variety in the classes offered, and enough professors that love teaching that it makes many of classes an absolute blast to be in. Professors that are interested both in the material and teaching make the material more engaging, and generally seems to lead to better grades because the students have an easier time paying attention. While it's not true of all professors, there are enough professors that put teaching above professing and that makes the environment on campus that much greater.

My school is very research-oriented and focused academically. I am constantly challenged in my classes with the work and the content. There are many oppurtunities available to me. The classes are engaging and the teachers consistently present abstract problems and ideas in my classes. This school is an excellent place to go to school.

I would probably say the best thing is that, for the number of programs and options offered here, everything seems to be really strong. I haven't met anyone yet who doesn't think they're in a good place to be doing what they want to do.

The location. It has everything frpm rock climbing to snowboarding. it is great.

Everyone is so nice! Utah is a nice state in general, so everyone on campus is really kind.

The relationships that professors work to develop with their students are one of the things that make our school great. Whether in a class of 300 or 8, students are always assured that they can contact their professor in several ways and that if they go to office hours the professor will be more than happy to sit down with them and help in any way possible. When working on extracurricular projects professors even take students out for bagels or bring donuts to the lab.

The variety of extra curricular opportunities that are available. There are always posters and signs up encouraging students to get involved with school.

Great research opportunities (Mario Cappechi- Nobel Prize!) Scholarships (full ride, Women in Science scholarship) good financial aid (at least initially). Proximity to family. Strong in sciences, good music program.
