Utah Valley University Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about Utah Valley University?

Tamarie

You can get to any building without going outside which is especially nice during the winter. It is also really nice to have small class sizes and to get to know your professor. All of my professors have been excellent teachers and knowledgeable in their field. One of my favorite parts of UVU is the Student Life and Wellness Center (SLWC). There is a full size track, almost any machine you can think of, free fitness classes, a bowling ally, a rock wall, and so much more!

Nathan

The professors are outstanding! I feel like I have purpose because I'm not concerned about "getting a degree." My school has taught me to focus on learning and teaching myself. It's about the journey, not the destination. I love the insight my professors offer.

Richard

That there are really good programs in a variety of fields. They can probably find what they are interested in pretty quick and get good advice from good teachers.

Machelle

UVU has been a wonderful college for me in the time that I've been there. I absolutely love the diversity of people you can find there. While you do expect to find a wide array of students and professors at any college, I think Utah, and Utah county specificially, has a much higher expectation of not being as diversified. The overwhelming number of residents in the area have very similar religious and political beliefs. But at UVU, I've always felt like every group is well represented and the mix of people compliments each other perfectly.

Kayla

I brag most about our choral and voice programs and our professors. In a few short years, our music department went from pathetic to internationally renowned. Our faculty are experts in every sense, yet they are the most personable people you will ever meet. This is a competitive department, but not in the way people would expect. We are encouraged to be better than ourselves, not each other. We have to work together, and our school encourages teamwork, so we don't have anything cut-throat.

Haylee

It has all of the majors I am looking into. It is very easy to get into, easier than BYU Provo. The classes are fairly small.

Brock

I brag most about my school's compassionate faculty. One is not simply a number at this school, they are individuals that faculty actually care about.

The mentor program at UVU is something that most collleges don't have. Whenever I am with friends and we are talking about experiences that we have had at school I always bring up the mentor I had. The mentor I had was always there for me, something my friends didn't have. Whenever I had a question about my homework, campus activities, or how where to go for certian things, she was always able to help and made sure I was successful.

Samantha

I brag about the library. It is really cool and always clean.

Callianne

I brag about the fact that almost all the building on campus are connected. I also like almost all the teachers i have gotten.
