REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingDixie State is a college that has its strengths and weaknesses. Depending on what field you are going into, you can feel either immersed in knowledge or left out to dry. I now am learning quite a bit, the psychology program has finally got finalized at Dixie State. So, now, even though they don't have enough teachers for the student load, it feels as if you are accomplishing something by attending this school and participating in this program.
Nikol from St George, UT
you will learn a lot, i have sat in on classes, and was very much impressed, the professors for the most part are well rounded and know their topics. They stayed focused on what they know they need to teach and present their work very clear and concise.
Cort from St. George, UT
The teachers legitimately care whether or not you fail. They stay after office hours and give you multiple ways to contact them if you need help! There is many resources on campus such as the career center, the health and wellness center and the tutoring center!
Ashley from Saint George, UT
If you take a class from Russell Gordon in Hurricane you are sure to understand the math. He is a great teacher and I'm sure many more like him are employed there.
Joshua from LA Verkin, UT
Dixie State College has been a great school choice for me. I am taking classes at this college while still attending high school and they have been extremely supportive and considerate of my complicated schedule. The teachers are also great and there are fantastic clubs and student service opportunities.
Kelsey from St. George, UT
Classes at Dixie are just the right size for everyone to learn. Teachers know students name and are willing to help you out by giving you phone numbers to call no matter the time of day.
Alison from West Valley City, UT
