Southern Utah University

The class sizes are fairly small therefore you get to really know your teachers. In the Upper Division classes you get to be acquainted with those of your major which can be helpful when you organize study groups.

In Southern Utah University, the class sizes are usually like 20 students or less. Sometimes it's even more. But even though the class is huge or small, the learning process never ends. The professors make it so easy for students to understand so that you wouldn't be able to struggle. They make learning like a part of life instead of just school work. When you ask for help, they can help you. I learned how to be open in my first semester of school in SUU. Their slogan is Learning Lives Forever and it is true. You will learn things that will last you the rest of your life.

I love the professor's here on campus! I know that I, Brianna, am their number one priority. They try to help me in any way they possibly can and they truly care about me and my goals.

Everyday little nuances I never noticed before are opened up to me. My favorite class this semester is UNIV 1000, a seminar dedicated to first semester students. The title of the textbook is Your Expanding Intelligence. It is different, but the learning tools presented are effective and worth knowing how to use. Students are encouraged to think out of the box. We are given principles, then expected to run with them and return with something creative. Professors are open minded. True, they believe they are correct, but if challenged most will listen to their students if the latter presents enough evidence to support their proposition. Everything is about learning, experimenting, thinking, and I love it!

Southern Utah University (SUU) is also beginning a system called Experiential Learning. What this means is students will be offered (Freshman of fall 2011 will be required) the chance to employ what they have learned in their major in multiple different categories: Creative, outdoors, global, etc. So an engineering major could design a water system for children in Africa- engineering, but a global/service focus. Students really are expected to apply what they learn.

Southern Utah University provides students with a quality education; small class sizes, and real-world experience make your learning more meaningful and worthwhile.

The best thing about going to SUU? The classes are fairly small size. That's a GREAT thing. You dont have to worry about not being able to get to know your professor or vice versa. There are some classes that have around 40-50 students but even then, the professors still try to get to know their students, as long as your willing to make the effort. I had a class my first semester of college, it had 50 students and by the end of the first week, the professor knew my name. Its all about WANTING to be there and making the EFFORT. If you believe in yourself, you'll learn A LOT. This school doesn't only teach you things IN class, but outside of class too. You learn to be yourself, this school had some great diversity going on. You learn a lot about cultures by the people you meet!

It wasn't my originally my first choice, but I'm so glad I came here! I know that this is where I belong because of how friendly everyone is, all of the amazing resources on campus, and the incredible on campus housing experience! I give SUU 5 stars!

Southern Utah University is a great school. All the academic advisers are very helpful and will help you register for classes. Campus is very small and it's very easy to get to classes.

suu is an incredible school for a great value! you receive the education and opportunities that usually come from a larger school but with smaller class sizes and more individual attention from your professors. suu works very hard to make sure each student has the opportunity to succeed in their academics by creating great professor office hours, learning labs, and an atmosphere that is not only fun, but also very conducive to learning.

suu is a great learning atmosphere because it is reasonably priced and has small classroom sizes, making learning easier and more convenient. your professors typically know you by name and are willing to work with you if there are any difficulties. also, the location is great, offering plenty of outdoor activities and learning opportunities.
