Utah Valley University Top Questions

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

Tamarie

The only two things I would brag about when talking about my school is the 1-ply toilet paper and the lack of school spirit. Fortunately, I can handle bad toilet paper and although we don't have the greatest school spirit, we do have some and we work hard to improve it.

I believe UVU's aviation program isn't as organized as it could be. When I first looked into attending the school with the aviation science focus, the counselor I spoke to told me my previous (and extensive) flight experience could not be used to speed up my schooling. Then, during my first semester, another counselor told me that previous experience could be used. There have been a number of incidents like this where I've received conflicting information on what the program requires, and what materials are available for my classes. Other than that I have no complaints.

David

The lack of parking for student becasue it makes it very hard to find a parking spot and being on time to your class

Nicholas

The parking lot set up. As the school expands in population our parking lots devlop horizontally instead of vertically! These administrative choices waste potential parking space and require the school to spend their funds on lot expansion instead of building expansion!

Melissa

There is a religious bias in this university, only because of the state in which it resides.

Nathan

The school counselors are the worst at UVU. They always seem to hate their job and never want to go out of their way to help you.

I haven't heard anything bad about UVU

Samantha

The worst thing about Utah Valley University is the parking. There are so many students who drive to campus that in order to find a descent parking spot you to have to give yourself half an hour to drive around looking and waiting for a spot. Especially during the winter months.

Lauren

It is just starting to get a foothold as an accredited university, so it lacks resources and professionalism. My field of study is also underrated and we do not have the facilities and funding needed.

Kyle

Utah Valley University is pretty great. If I had to say anyhting bad about the school it would have to be that they don't have a school football team that I could root for.

Jakayla

The parking is absolutely awful. There are not nearly enough spacces for all of the students attending, espeically because they took out a huge section of the most popular parking lot to build a new building.

Derek

The worst thing about Utah Valley University is the lack of available parking. Due to a large increase in the number of students on campus, there has been an increase in construction of new buildings in place of parking.

I love UVU but I feel like it is not taken as seriously as some other schools. I feel like I get a good education, but that the people in this area do not take UVU as seriously as other local schools. I wish that the community would have more respect for this university and that the people who attend it would have more school pride.

Kevin

The worst thing about Utah Valley State College is that they didn't have the major I wanted to go into.

Joshua

I have not found anything I would call the 'worst thing'; it is a diverse college with many degree focuses making it important to seek out the best things instead.

Nicole

The worst thing about Utah Valley University is cost. It is pretty reasonably priced, however, it's too much for me to move out. I currently live at home and commute 30 minutes to school. I also have a job to help try to cover the costs. I'm never on campus unless I'm attending class so it's hard to be involved. I haven't been to any sports events or really anything else. Personal preference would be that they do a better job about advertising these events so I could make it a priority to attend them.

Thomas

School Spirit. There is no foot ball team because of the surrounding schools that are so close by. BYU and Utah University have big compition. Parking is also another issue that comes up often. It cost 80 dollars a year to park some what close to campus.

BrookeLynn

I was kind of just expected to know everything on the first day of school. In actuality I didn't know where i was going, what I needed, or even who i could talk to about these thiings.

Keltzie

The parking is awful and expensive.
