Utah State University Top Questions

The must frustrating thing about USU is that they do not post a "check" list of actions needed to complete enrollment, aid, and/or scholarships. It would be most useful to have the ability to choose what type of student you are, and select options that apply to you as a student. Therefore, creating a detailed list that would help ensure that each student is registered correctly and receiving all of the pertinent information necessary for them to succeed at USU.

Fines, fees, costs, payments. Anything price that I am forced to pay that sets my education back.

The most fustrating thing will have to be the abreviations of the school buildings. it is hard to get used to at first but when you got it you get it. the hard thing about it is that is all that the faculty and students use. so if you dont know what they are talking about it is easy to get lost.

The most frustrating thing about USU is the lack of help I have received from the financial aid office in regards to my current loans. I have had difficulty finding people who are willing to help me look into it.

For me, it's definitely the weather. Those from Canada may scoff at my wimpiness, but I have a low tolerance for cold, and it's hard to drag myself out into 20 below weather at 7:30 am. The icy hills can be hard to navigate, and there's nothing worse than that crunching laptop sound when you slip and land on your backpack.

The most frustrating thing about Utah State University is the lack of parking space, combined with large open areas, meaning long waks across campus.

A few instructors cannot be available before or after class hours unless by email or telephone.

The most frustrating thing about USU is the payment policy. They don't take Visa cards when you pay tuition and that is the only card that I or my parents have. It makes it much harder to pay for tuition. It was almost nearly impossible for me to pay it and I almost got all my class dropped.

How far away I live from the school and the town. They call it on campus housing but it takes 20 minutes walking to get to campus. I don't mind it so much, but I don't have a car which makes it hard to get a job away from campus. It would take me about 45 minutes to an hour to get to the town if I took the busses. It is really hard when they say that it is on campus housing but you live away from it.

Located in the mountains, it can be extremely cold and wet on campus during the winter, but its also a very beautiful location. With budget cuts due to the economic recession, class options have decreased. There are less elective classes available and required classes only have one section or are only taught one semester. This makes is more difficult to pick aschool schedule that can work with other aspects of student life, like getting a job.

The class sizes and tutition.

If you don't use opportunistic times (such as christmas or summer) to look for jobs then you likely wont have one.

The teachers lecture time is short compared to the ammount of information they teach in it.

The tuition is pretty expensive.

Registration is pretty difficult, and you run into a lot of problems.

I would have to repeat the same answer as above. It is very frustrating to have to redo math classes that you have previously passed with good grades.

The most frustrating thing about Utah State University is yourself.

I am attending school online, and self management/discipline is key. Without an actual classroom some thoughts or ideas can be lost in translation over the internet. It takes alot of concentration to understand what is required.

The most frustrating thing about Utah State University is the lack of prominent professors and the "memorize and reiterate" style of learning and testing. Many of the professors here I feel are inexperienced and do not challenge the students enough. I also feel that we are often taught principles to memorize and then are tested on our ability to reiterate word-for-word these principles. I am paying almost $3000 per semester and wish that I could get a higher level of education from a university.

I'm not the biggest fan of our winters here. The web site and internet courses can be confusing sometimes and hard to navigate.
