Utah Valley is a fantastic university. This is a school I'd highly recommend to any one who wants a good education as well as have fun. The school diversity is wonderful and the staff and student body are all great.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Keep in touch with your academic adviser if you want a straight shot to your major. If not then there are a lot of interesting fun classes to take there.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics of the university are great, they haven't been too hard. The professors teaching your class also helps decide if the class will be difficult. There are plenty of great professors at the university but there are some harder ones as well. I'd recommend doing some research about the professor of your selected course.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
UVU (Utah Valley) doesn't have there own housing. They have wolverine crossing but that's just an apartment complex that affiliates themselves with the school. Not to worry Orem and the towns surrounding it have plenty of apartments for rent. All for varying prices. But the local apartments are full of fun and friendly people. Its really easy to meet new people.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are plenty of places to eat at UVU. On campus there are several places as well as the campus cafeteria. The cafeteria has great food I highly recommend it. There are also plenty of places to eat that are right by the campus as well.Often throughout the semester there will be free food all over campus. I recommend taking advantage of this. No matter what your hungry for you'll be able to find something to satisfy yourself.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always something going on on campus. Everyday UVU has the zone doing something. The zone is an activity stop that has a wide range of activities and on some days will give out food samples. A new student wellness center was just build too. This building has rock climbing, a track, workout rooms, a bowling alley, demonstration kitchen and a hang out area.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Everything is moderately priced on campus. The only overly priced store on campus would have to be the campus bookstore. Tuition is very good too even out of state. If you can get in state that would be best, the price lowers drastically.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
UVU has many local groups come onto campus and talk to the students that roam the halls. Some of these visitors can be guests from other schools and anywhere in between.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
No matter what your looking for you can find it at UVU. There is a wide range of people and personalities here and finding a crowd to fit into is rather easy.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many clubs at UVU! Once a semester all the clubs come out and make themselves known at an event called club rush. It lasts for 3 days and offers the students a chance to view the many clubs that UVU has to offer. No matter what kind of club your looking for UVU probably has it.

There is no Greek life at UVU
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus security is amazing. The campus police are excellent as well. They are very kind and willing to help you immediately. They are very quick at getting things done as well.
