University of Utah Top Questions

I like the feeling of academic focus and learning that is at my school.

I feel that the LDS Institue and both Museums on campus are great accets, We have the Utah Museum of Natural HIstory and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Both are hosts to a plethera of knowledge in a very visual and hands on world. Having the Institute here on campus makes finding a safe place just that much easier.

I love the fact that we are a Research 1 school. Without this designation, I would be very unlikely to have my current job, doing my own research on campus. It's like a dream come true.

The best thing about the University of Utah is its friendly social environment. The professors and advisors always willing to take a moment to speak with their students about a new project or a budding problem emerging in the classroom. Students on campus are talkative and recptive to others' needs, and making friends is extremely easy at the U of U. It's rare to find a person with a negative attitude, and the social scene at the University is constant. There is always someone to meet and something to do, whether its through activist work, or attending a party.

The University of Utah is very research oriented and prestigious. There are many opportunities for undergraduates to get involved in their own personal research in a lab of their choice under the direction of a professor. These opportunities look great on future graduate school and job applications. Aside from academics, the University of Utah has many events all year round. Whether it is going to the football game versus the rival BYU, or to watch the top ranked gymnastics team, or even volunteering in Special Olympics, there are unlimited opportunities to get involved.
