The University of Utah
“The education you'll get from the U isQuite BrightPolitical Science
The education you'll get from the U is good. Profs. are great actually, but if you are looking for any sort of college experience, look elsewhere. The city is dull and empty, students are pretentious and and very closed-minded. The skiing is great. However, as I found out after a year in SLC, skiing can't always take the place of friends and a social life, which this place has none of. Final reaction: Stay out of the "Happy Valley" unless you can put on some fake smile and walk around pretending that you are something we all know you are not. ........either that or make all of your friends come out here and turn this place into the California that it should have been.

“This university, in most aspects, is OK.Quite BrightEconomics
This university, in most aspects, is OK. Maybe a couple of problems, but it's ok as an average U. Salt lake city is not as cool as it could be. Even though it is much better than the rest of Utah, is hard not to feel the influx of the mormon church in your everyday life, but there is sort of an underground liberal movement going on which gives you some hope about it. Another point is that the U of U is a HUGE university. In some aspects this is great, there is a lot of diversity (within Utah diversity limits, of course) and tons of groups, but there is also the bad side : Immense classes, sometimes overwhelmed teachers, a decent amount of bureaucracy, etc. Being in the honors program allow me to bypass some of this problems, that's why I recommend it.

“Pretty good college forQuite BrightChemical Engineering
Pretty good college for the money it costs. I am not sure about out of state tuition, though. Got a great med school grad program and a great chemistry undergrad program, where I am now. for the most part, all of my professors have been challenging without overworking me.
