University of Utah

I'm very impressed with the way the professors are so willing to help students. I have had several instances in classes where I have not understood the material given, and I'm pleased to say that I have felt totally comfortable in going to my professors and asking them to explain things. One professor in particular stayed after class with me for an hour and a half! They all seem to be very professional and knowledgable.

The first year felt like a review for me (in some of my classes). I was, however, able to take classes that fulfilled some of my general education requirements where I did learn new things. The professors were also always trying to find ways to help you get good grades (with study sessions before tests, study guides, and supplemental instruction sessions) :D

The classes at the U are very learning intensive. The professors aren't just preparing you to pass their tests but are greatly concerned with the real-world applications of their subjects. Professors are excited about their disciplines and are more than willing to take extra time to try and help you understand. All the professors I have had experience with have had fairly convenient office hours when students can come talk to them face-to-face and are eager to communicate through email as well. I feel like all this professor-student interaction has really helped me gain a pretty comprehensive knowledge of the classes I have taken. However, sometimes I feel like it is hard to learn on a very intimate level in the huge, auditorium lecture classes that are the style of many of your undergrad general level classes.

I love my classes here! The professors know what they're talking about and are pretty easily accessible; they like telling you when their office hours are and are pretty friendly. I have e-mailed back and forth with professors when I've had questions, and they are always happy to respond and clear things up. Best of all, lots of options for classes!

The University of Utah offers classes in just about everything, so you can learn anything you want to. All of my professors have been friendly and very willing to help you out if you don't understand something. They are interested in more than just cramming your head full of facts; they teach you how to learn on your own. Such a skill is invaluable in our ever changing world.

The University of Utah classes are both academically challenging and realistically applicable.The professors teach in ways that challenge me to think differently and openly relating to the real world. It's actually quite refreshing. Not only am I learning about the subjects but of myself as a student too, like what my needs and learning style are, and where I'm struggling. It can be kind of difficult to get everything out of a professor when you're in a class of 300+ students but they also have TA sessions and tutoring in the library. With all the resources available (for free!) there is no excuse I can't do well in school or reach out for help if I don't understand something. The U is all about student success first and there's plenty of faculty, staff, and peers that passionately aid in that endeavor.

I have learned a lot, and the professors are so helpful and nice. I got so sick this past semester and missed class for two and a half weeks. They were all so nice and let me make up tests and papers and quizes. They really understood and want me to do well.

The University of Utah offers a wide range of class options within each major, making it easy to find classes that fit my interests. The professors are extremely knowledgeable, encourage open discussions, and most have quirky senses of humor that keep students entertained during long lectures. While the professors teach the standard curriculum, they also incorporate current events and trends into theories, making them easier to remember and use in everyday life. I'm a communication major and I thought it would be the same sort of information taught in all of the similar classes but they are all very unique and teach me something new every day.

In my experience at the University of Utah the professors at the University of Utah are all very great at aiding students learn the material and the college in general encourages the students to do their very best. There are many opportunities to both aid and expand yourself, with tutoring programs if you are having trouble, and the Honors College and other jump start programs to challenge yourself further. I would recommend taking advantage of as much as possible at the U, as it is there to help you anyways.

I have learned so much at the U. I thought college courses in high school would prepare me for real college courses, and I was somewhat right. The teachers aren't nearly as attached to you in college as they were to you in high school. I love the fact that I have an independence and I have to work a little bit harder for the grade. The classes are so diverse and there is a lot of options, so everyone can find their niche.
