University of Utah Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Brian

How wonderful University was. I wish that my family would have give me more of a push to coninute my eduction while I was in my youth. School changed me so much for the better.

Austin

I learned that the key to unlocking my education at the U was not being afraid to ask for help. At first, I was intimidated to attend Utah. Looking back, I wish I would have known despite the its size and academic rigor, it is a very approachable school. You don't have to be afraid of the challenges you will face once admitted. You can face them with confidence because you'll have adivsors to help you discover your major, professors to empower your learning, and fellow students to support you. All you have to do is ask!

I'm a bit of a non-traditional student. I am non-matriculated and am enrolled in the Screendance Certificate Program, which is a 1 year program. I wish I had really, truly known how hard it was going to be to get financial help to pay for school. As a non-matriculated 1 year student, I am not eligible for almost very loan/scholarship out there. I have spent the past few months doing research and applying for numerous things and have not received anything. I wish I had began preparing YEARS in advance.

I was caught off guard by the amount of work that I had to put in to get an A. It's not a bad thing I just procrastinated at my high school and but it has helped me become a much better student and person. I wish I would have known about all of the tutoring and advising that was available. It would have been easier to transition if that would have been the case.
