What do you consider the worst thing about Utah State University? Why?

Jacob

Utah State doesn't offer the degree that I want to get.

Sean

Parking options are limited, but that's all.

Toshia

The worst thing about my school is that it is not tobacco free. I think this is terrible because at times I would like to walk out of building and not have to smell the smoke of cigarettes, etc. I think that mt school, as it has been trying to, should go tobacco free, make the air cleaner, and maybe help some people quit smoking all at the same time. It would make my campus as even more beautiful place to be.

Although it has quite a prolific number of majors, and continues to gain more all the time, the diversity is somewhat lacking. If you wish to study social science , engineering, or agriculture, then it has everything you could possibly want. However, it lacks in the physical sciences in terms of classes and majors offered (there is no Astronomy major, for instance), as well as in funding for many of these programs outside of the classroom setting. If you are seeking a physical science degree, consider that USU may not have the one you are looking for.

Shawn

Some of the things we are required to do, to get loans or just to fix common misunderstandings is very confusing. Alot of phone calls and emails to the University to figure out what it is that they want me to do. It's frustrating because it takes up time that you don't have.

Jessica

The weather in the winter. It's very cold. Also everything is up hill to get to school.

Kaitlin

The worst thing about Utah State is the financial situation it places students in. The bookstore is extremely overpriced and student body fees are ridiculously high for the amount of services that it provides for students, especially those that live off campus.

Lindsey

The worst thing about my school is the cold. The winter months can be pretty brutal as it is not unusual for the temperatures to get below freezing. You had to bundle up real tight so your aren't freezing by the time you get to class. The cold invite snow, however, and snow means lots of activities that you can't do any other time of the year. Sledding, skiing, snowboarding, snowball fights, and building snowmen are fun to do during the winter.

Brooke

The worst thing about Utah State University is that sometimes it is hard to find information on the school website. There have been times where I have tried to find information about jobs, scholarships, or events and it has taken me an extremely long time to find the information.

Ciara

The only problem is that it gets very cold here!

Lauren

As much as I love USU, there were some downsides. Once I was accepted into my psychology program meeting with my advisor became more difficult. As a I was approaching my final semester at Utah State there came up a class the I was missing on my transcript. After many times of meeting with my advisor only now was it brought up. I had to jump through many loops to prove I had already taken the class and ended up paying an extra fee I wasn't planning on. Another than that, I had a wonderful experience at USU.

Kallyn

Sometimes things can seem quiet.

Preston

The worst thing about my school is the cold weather, and sometimes classes are very far apart from each other. When you are walking to school in the morning your nose will go numb and you will feel like you have frost bite on your fingers

Marissa

The worst thing about Utah State University is that it it hidden in a valley. Utah State is in the cache valley which is a small area with limited resources.

Benjamin

Utah State University is growing at an extremely rapid past and it is often difficult to register for classes. The Huntsman School of Business which I attend makes up for this by providing professionals who are experts in the field that can bring real life experiences to the table. This allows us as students to have an advantage over others from different universities.

Cassandra

I don't know if there is a worst thing...I don't like that the teachers aren't as involved with the students in getting to know them and such as I think they should be. It is hard to find professors who will write a letter of reccomendation for you because they hardly even know you

Kutana

Can't say. Haven't started yet.

Gretchen

It is isolated and the main access is through a canyon which limits interaction with other cities and comunities. The weather at 5,000 plus feet allows for some harsh cold weather which can make traveling difficult and can cause you to miss classes because it is not safe to pass through the canyon. At its worst I never missed class because you just have to learn to watch the weather if you leave Logan so that you can plan for time to travel in the event of unfavoriable weather conditions. I still loved it and would go again.

Sara

I really can not think of something I don't like about it here at Utah State.

Daren

Lack of diversity and chillness. too many morals being pressed onto minority
