Westminster College

I have loved my time at Westminster College. The schoolwork is not easy, but the support I get from fellow students and administration makes learning fun (and if schoolwork is easy, then your degree is just a piece of paper that doesn't prove anything).

Also, I love the fact that there are no "research" professors so all of my instructors have been committed to teaching first. This is something that I DID NOT experience at the school I transferred from (a large state school).

Due to the price of tuition at Westminster, there are some snobby students—some of which are "too good", but many others who are very "down to earth, willing to lend a hand/dollar" rich—nevertheless, there is a rather diverse collection that attends this college. I'd say the most diverse in Utah, especially when it comes to the topic of religious affiliation.

The size of the school, about 2,000 undergrad students, lends itself to many opportunities for all students to get involved in clubs/organizations that interest them. Additionally, there are many opportunities to attend athletic events (soccer, volleyball, basketball) and other artistic events (theatrical plays, musical concerts, diversity lectures, etc.). Nothing enhances the college experience more than getting involved, and when all your buddies are going to the events, and joining clubs, it is really easy to get involved and even take on leadership roles (resume builders for after graduation!).

The only downside would have to be the parking system, but even that is being worked on with the construction of a new building with underground parking. Overall, I have to say that I recommend Westminster College to anyone who wants a very positive college experience.
