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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The U is great, especially if you live on campus. There's always something going on, whether it be a play, a concert, a lecture, or a sports event. There is an abundance of places that you can sit and study or take a break and nap or have some fun. The Student Union offers pool tables, a bowling alley, food, video games, and TV. Plus, you're 5 minutes away from numerous hiking trails, a swimming pool, basketball courts, and other sports facilities.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The U is rather expensive, but if you take advantage of all of the resources the U offers, it pretty well evens out. The library is huge and full of books on everything. The U has an excellent collection of online resources as well. The facilities are well kept, and the campus is pleasurable to walk through. The quality of the education measures up to what you pay for. The professors are genuinely interested in your success, and they teach you how to learn.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1) Go to your professor's office hours. If you are too shy to do that, at least talk to your professors. Most of my opportunities have been made possible because my professors know who I am.
2) Take advantage of the programs the U offers. They offer so much support for undergraduate research, tutoring, and social opportunities. Do some research on the website and find out about programs that may be interesting to you.
3) Learn to navigate the website. Use the A-Z catalog for the best results.
4) Apply to every scholarship you can. Every department has some departmental scholarships, and you can't get them if you don't apply for them.
5) Live at least 1 year in the dorms. They're a great place to meet people, plus being a resident allows you to take part in the events that the resident halls put on (such as free admission to haunted houses or dance parties)
6) Look into the Trax and bus schedules. They will take you anywhere in Salt Lake, and since you're a student, it's free!
7) Figure out the campus shuttles. They're not hard, just make sure you understand when each schedule applies as they run at different times during the day. They're free and great if you don't want to walk.
8) Sign up for everything early. This includes housing, scholarships, classes, or the MUSS (the student sports fan club).
