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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love the U. It may seem like it's a big school, and you will get lost as soon as you start. But choose the smaller sized class and you can get to know your peers as well as your teachers more. Utah offers soooo many clubs and you can pretty much find something you love. I joined a sorority, and am so glad I did. I love being involved at the U.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I say that you get what you want out of the experience. Milk it for all it's worth. Go to every activity, event, concert, or mini show on campus. Enjoy the clubs and service activities that are offered. Choose the classes you want, at the times YOU WANT! If you are miserable, work to change it. There's tons of different things you can do, just find what you love.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't get too scared of the campus. It is big, yes, but it's also great for your health. 15 minutes between classes is actually a decent amount of time. Try to schedule your classes somewhat together. Even if you have no plans at the start of the semester, you could get a job or join a club, and you could really have conflicts. Take the smaller classes, and register as EARLY as you can. Science and Math classes fill up QUICK!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Ambitious, Energetic, Fun, Adaptable, Curious, Disciplined & the Not so disciplined, Enterprising, People interested in the college life, Commuters, Original, Unique, Interesting, ANYONE- we love them all!
