Westminster College-Salt Lake City Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Dawson

Just about any day of the week there is a party to be found.

I would definitely categorize a lot of the school, especially out-of-staters, as skiers. Why not? The mountains are fantastic. Maybe it's also because I am one. It's easy to find rides to the mountains and super fun. Hav e most of my close friends because of this. The res halls are cool, I'd prefer Carleson or Hogle over the upperclassmen ones anyday, since you have an entire floor to be your friends and not just your 5 other roommates. Sharing the bathroom isn't that bad and I wouldn't change my freshmen year experience for a single room at all. Yeah, there are definitely parties if you look. You can go to parties and not drink though, too. A lot of kids put ski/snowboarding above most anything, so that's what I spend my weekends doing.

Activities every Wednesday (Wild Wednesday). But there is virtually something going on everyday. Great sense of community on campus. Everyone knows everyone; unless you don't want to.

Most of the students that i know will leave there doors open or atleast unlocked because there is a very good level of trust throughout Westminster. athletic events i have never attended but i know some are very popular. i met my closest friends by meeting everyone on my floor the first day and just opening our door to everyone. if im awake at 2am on a Tuesday im studying for finals. or a test the next day. there are TONS of things to do on saturday night around salt lake.

Social life is so much fun, there is always something to do and everyone is always welcome. weither it be going into another kids room at 3am because no one can sleep and watching a movie or messing around, or going out to a party, dancing, or just having fun. theres always something fun to dow ith friends. its really easy to meet people here since everyone is so welcoming and caring

Danielle

The most popular teams on campus would be the basketball teams and lacrosse teams, all four teams (men's and women's) are all highly-ranked nationally. It is easy to get involved in any group or club on campus, there is always one that fits your needs. If there isn't, then you can create one easily. On the social scene, a majority of students drink. There is always a party to go to on a friday or saturday night within walking distance of campus.

Westminster offers a plethora of activities and groups for students. They usually have something every week for students to get involved in volunteering in the community as well as events to get involved with each other. Game nights are not uncommon, as well as free movie nights and in the winter setting up grind poles to use snowboards and skis on as a competition.

Jordan

Many excellent seminars and guest speakers that most classes push you to attend. ASWC has many fun and interactive events. Fraternities/sorortities don't exist. Most people who live on campus find things to do at 2am, but if you live off campus, you are at home typically either studying or sleeping. Most upper classmen socialize with people off campus but they are usually the same people they met on campus freshman year.

Mel

There are lots of groups and clubs on campus. The school is very much into sports.
