REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingAll of the professors here are amazing! I truly enjoy going to class. They're witty and help you with anything you need help with. The student reviews help out a lot as well. There are always Teacher's Aids to help with any questions you might have. Blackboard also allows the students in the class to communicate; which has been great to help organize study groups for upcoming papers, quizzes, or tests.
Alexis from Heber City, UT
Every Professor I have had so far has just been unbelievable. They all are so passionate about the subject they are teaching and therefore it makes it much more interesting for the students.
Jessica Trettin from Wildomar, CA
I always am learning something new. Whether its in class with the great professors here or even if its just being away from home and even learning from all my fellow students. Utah State really has a great atmosphere for learning.
emily from West Bountiful, UT
All the classes I have enrolled in, and am currently enrolled in have been very helpful to my learning. With maybe one or two exceptions, my professors have been great: very willing to help and knowledgeable about the material they are teaching.
Conor from Brookings, SD
I am loving my classes here! One of my classes is kind of confusing, but I am still learning a lot. The professors here really know how to teach and still keep the subject interesting. I actually enjoy going to my classes!
Julie from Morgan Hill, CA
The classes are very discussion and lecture based so you always are learning. The professors are very helpful and friendly. They want you to succeed as much as you do! It is easy to go and talk to them at anytime. They are always willing to sit down and talk to you about class if you do not understand a topic.
Amber from Logan, UT
The professors I have been able to have so far have been incredible and so willing to help me out. I also have appreciated the counselors that help me work out my schedules. The quality of learning here is so top-knotch, I enjoy the range of classes and labs offered here on campus.
An Aggie from Logan, UT
You can find some great teachers at USU. A lot of the time you should take a class based on the teacher, not the subject and you can learn so much! They offer a wide range of classes and you don't have to start with just generals, you can mix in generals with classes related to your major.
Mckenzie from SLC, UT
I can't imagine going to school anywhere else in the world. Utah State always has something going on for everyone: introverts, geeks, prospective entrepreneurs, farmers, you name it. The courses are challenging enough, and it is so easy to find something that fits your personality and interests.
Kjersti from Ogden, UT
There are so many option for majors, minors, clubs, activities, study session, it's amazing how much you get to choose from and learn about! It brings a lot of perspective to the average student because they are able to interact with people from a vast field of cultures. There are Many sessions and groups for studying and reviewing that it's easier to understand the concepts in classes.
