Review of Ensign College

from Minneapolis, Minnesota

Describe your college in three sentences.

Latter-day Saint Business College is just that, it has a diverse community of many, hundreds of countries and states that are represented. The LDS faith is 99% represented and there are over 50% Return Missionaries that are here. You don't have to go into Business to attend here, you just need the faith to be in a great, rich, spirit affected atmosphere!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved! Go to new student orientation, get to know all sorts of different types of people. Join the choir, go to the temple, attend your local church. Get to know the President of the college, he's a really neat guy! Join Mentors & Ambassadors, that will change your life.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Most of the classes are pretty easy, the deeper you get into your major, the harder it will become, of course!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are... okay. It is an awesome way to get to know people, since they live right next to you. If possible at all, look for local housing instead. Both the guys and girls dorms are not impressive, make sure to get a bunch of quarters to do laundry.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Lots of different place to eat. It's Salt Lake!! The taco stands are incredible, they are all over the city. Crown Burger, located adjacent to the BC; In n' out is a must, Five Guys Burgers & Fries, The Pie (located up by the U), Moochies.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Shop at City Creek center, Gateway. Hike, Temple Square, etc.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The BC is amazing! If you have not drawn closer to God, Christ, the gospel, then you have taken the school for granted. Get involved!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

After new student orientation we hike to Ensign peak and wave a banner. Every Tuesday there is a Devotional & someone speaks about gospel matters to us, we dress professionally and take notes. Before class starts each day, there is a prayer that is said.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

You don't have to major in Business to attend here!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are clubs and activities, basically any kind of club has the chance of getting started. There is now a Latin dance club, hip-hop club, Soccer Club, among many others.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Not here.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I left my backpack in the Commons & came back 2 hours later and nothing was stolen from it! It is very safe and nothing bad happens.
