Rating 5 out of 5

I really love UVU, just because it seems like a pretty mellow school for the most part. What I mean by that, is most people come here to get a decent education at the cheapest cost, rather than going to some other more prestigious college. Pros: -Tons of young folk -Lots of Lds People -Has more students than any other Utah College -Tuition/Housing is insanely cheap compared to other colleges (in-state) -Lots of job opportunities all over Utah -Campus is huge and is growing -Most class sizes are not very big, but it depends on your major/class -The school is very professional looking -The school is less competitive, and is more focused on learning. -Offers dance classes Cons: -Too many Lds people -No football team -You won't get to take out as many student loans -Most Basic degree are offered, but there are a few that UVU doesn't offer -You won't get a job simply because you graduated from UVU, unlike an Ivy School.

Did classes challenge you and leave you feeling like you actually learned something?

Were instructors accessible, engaged, and invested in students or mostly going through the motions?

Did the campus feel welcoming and full of energy, or more like a place you simply passed through?

Student Housing *

Were dorms and residence halls somewhere you'd want to live, or a constant source of frustration?

Campus Safety *

Did you feel comfortable walking around at night, or did safety ever weigh on your mind?

Student Life *

Was it easy to find your people, make friends, and stay socially connected?

Party and Bar Scene *

Do weekends have a pulse here, or does the social scene quiet down once classes end?
