University of Utah Top Questions

Many students work full time to support themselves and the school is not fully up to par in accomidating for this. With this, it is hard to graduate in four years because students are not able to take full loads of classes due to having to work so much.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the clicks that alot of people have and how it is hard to become someones friend if they are in a click.

The most frustrating thing about my school were the residancy requirements. I was forced to pay out-of-state tuition for the whole two years I attended, to make things worse out of state tuition here is expensive.

The University of Utah is a commuter school and not many of the students live on campus. If you want to be involved in campus life, you really have to work for it. The experiences and social life are out there if you know where to look and you are willing to put forth the effort. I had a great experience but I would definitely say I had to make the decision to be involved.

Be sure you have enough time to wait for shuttles, they are pretty unreliable.

The academic standards at the University of Utah can be very high depending on which classes a person chooses to enroll in. Many of my classes have been so difficult that taking them in combination with each other put me under extreme amounts of pressure and stress. It's frustrating knowing that I will be graduating in five years instead of four. I'm glad the the University of Utah pushes its students, unfortunately about 1/4 of the people I know (attending the University) have the same problem I have, and many of the others have already dropped out.

The city and state have very strange laws. Very little in the city is open past 10pm and almost every is closed on Sundays. Parking on campus is very problematic as is with most Universities, however because only 5,000 of the 29,000 live on campus the remaining 24,000 comute on a daily basis. The University informs it's student primarily via an email system it provides, but very few student, myself inclueded, check that email and we have all given alternate forms of contact information.
