Utah Valley University is a great student friendly school in which the teachers truly care about their students' success. Everything is connected indoors so you don't have to walk outside in the winter! Classes are smaller so that you get more one-on-one time with the teacher; it's one to 30 instead of one to 130.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
It's always helpful to check out your professors on ratemyprofessors.com, because despite UVU having a lot of caring professors, sometimes you can get a difficult teacher. Be sure you check with your counselor a lot, because they will help you reach your goals in a timely manner!!!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
You can learn a lot, especially once you get into your intended major.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
OF course, it always depends on where you're living, but dorm life is fun, and it's easy to meet new people.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There might be some traveling involved when it comes to having good food, but it's not bad. UVU even has a fairly decent dining area inside, although it can end up being expensive, so sometimes it's best to just bring food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I've found it hard to balance work, school, friends, and fun, but usually apartments have organized activities you can go to, and usually there's some party going on somewhere in the apartment complex. :) There are lots of movie theaters, and there's lots of room for creativity. :)
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
UVU is one of the cheapest colleges, but has a lot of the best programs, like the Dentist and Nursing programs, and even the Education programs, are best in the state.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UVU is great for those students who need more one-on-one time with the professor. Class sizes are smaller, so it allows for the professor to have more personal time and get to know their students better. It's also a smaller campus (although it's continually growing!), so it's great for all students to be able to get to their classes efficiently. ALSO, the library is amazing!!!! Great place to study, lots of study areas, and they have an amazing variety of supplementary materials. The building is gorgeous and has some really awesome views from the top floors, and is one of the most energy efficient buildings in the state!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
They offer a huge variety of clubs. Lots can be helpful for future careers, and others are just for fun. At the beginning of every semester, the clubs set up in the Hall of Flags and you can check out a lot of the available clubs.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
They have both sororities and fraternities.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Pretty safe environment. They have EMT (I think they have a different, special name on campus) on standby all through out the day. People are nice; it's just a safe feeling environment.
