Southern Utah University Top Questions

Someone who does not care to learn. You have to want to be here to enjoy your time here.

Someone who does not want to work for their education and really does not want to be in college.

Although a person who is closed minded and unfriendly should probably not attend this school, he or she would be welcomed none the less. SUU is a great school for all types of people to attend. The students there are very accomodating of all types of people, which makes it a friendly environment for any student.

The only people who should not attend this school are those who want to attend a large university or be in a big city. Southern Utah University will provide neither of these. It is a smaller school, and it is located in a city with population estimate of about 30,000. Also, the closest city with a larger population is St. George, which has a population of about 90,000. The closest larger urban areas are Las Vegas to the south and Salt Lake City to the north. Both are about 3 or 4 hours away.

This school is very polarized. It's mostly made up of very conservative, LDS people and heavy partiers. If you fall somewhere in between (like me and a lot of your friends), it is harder to find a niche, though it is possible. People who want to experience a lot of diversity might be frustrated here, and people who are used to living in a big city will probably go insane. Also, people who really dislike religion and religious atmospheres will probably really hate going to school here.

Someone who wants to go to a big school, big campus, meet tons of people , party all the time or attend a school that has lots of academic options. Somone who doesn't like the small town-feel of the university should not attend SUU. SUU can't offer everything that larger universities have, and that should be taken into consideration.

Someone who can't handle living in a small town.

Those how like living in big cities.

Anyone who likes to drink and stay off on their own.

Someone that is really liberal and someone that could not adapt.
