What's the most frustrating thing about Utah Valley University?

Ariel

The most frustrating thing about my school is how expensive it is for out of state students to attend.

Sharley

The most frustrating thing about UVU is that it has a high aceptance rate so the amount of students is alway increasing, in turn making signing up for classes a difficult task, because the classes fill up very quickly. So be aware of the dates in which you can enroll in classes. Remember that the upper classmen get first choice so be ready as soon as you are allowed to pick your classes. The list of courses will be posted before your enrollment date so know your schedule and plan what you are going to take prior to registration.

The counselors are SO busy because there are WAY too many students to a counselor that if you e-mail them, it is common to not get a relpy for days. Even weeks.

Mallory

To be honest, nothing frustrates me about Utah Valley University. We have an incredible mix of students whether its their race or if it's their interests. There is a little bit of everything and if you need something, our University has it.

Kimberly

The lack of classes available on nights and weekends. The amount is very limited and there for difficult for someone who has to maintain a full time employment status so the bills get paid.

Brett

The most frustrating thing about Utah Valley University is the limited availability of on campus parking.

Natasha

I think something that frustrates me a little bit is that because it's still growing, there isn't as much competition in my program as i might like. But at the same time that means that I have opportunities that I wouldn't in another school. Another huge frustration is the lack of credit per hour. I have 12 credits this term and spend 21 hours in class a week with an expected 30+ hours outside of class. That's really frustrating.

Bryce

the parking kills me. there is never a spot because parking is so limited, on top of that its about a mile away from school.

Melissa

There are rarely any parking spaces. They do not encourage students to recycle or care for the enviroment which is greatly frustrating for me. The art facilities are somewhat sparce. Not enough money or attention is put towards the creative arts.

Todd

In my major there are certain prerequisite courses that fill up so quickly every semester that it's really hard to get into them. I've been trying to take the Graphic Computer Applications class for a year now and I haven't been able to get into it and it's a basic level graphic design course. Aside from that, parking is really inaccessible, even if you pay for a parking pass you're not certain to get parking.
