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!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I live off-campus, but I enjoy the campus and the surrounding area. It's beautiful, and there's plenty to do! Football games, Hogle Zoo just around the corner, a great on-campus library....I hear there's good skiing in the winter. Overall, it is really a fun place to be!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Being an out-of-state student, the tuition is a lot higher than in-state. It's definitely not a cheap school, but classes are fantastic and there's a good social life, plus with your UCard (student ID) you can ride buses and the local train system for free, which is really helpful.
Apply for all the scholarships you can!! The school does offer quite a few, and you'll need them.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1) Apply for scholarships!! You want to spend more time studying and having a social life than figuring out how to pay for school later.
2) For out-of-state: if at all possible, start establishing residency ASAP. Again, not the cheapest school. You'll want that discount.
3) Be prepared to hike; campus is really built into the side of a mountain....if you have classes in different buildings, you spend a good deal of time walking between them. Bikes/scooters/skateboards are another good option, and the campus is set up for you to use those!
