I couldn't wait to leave USU (I lasted 2 years). I liked my program and the professors but the students especially the hardcore LDS ones were another story. Most of them were nice at first - then they would try to convert you or tattle on you if God forbid you had… a beer! Students, even the RAs don't hesitate to call the police directly. In fact, a kid in my dorm was asleep on a couch in the dorm basement, bothering no one. Another kid (presumably LDS) went up to him to see if he had alcohol on his breath and promptly called the police. Aside from a relatively nonexistent social scene (Salt Lake City is fun but an hour and a half away..)the campus computer system was a mess and most of the dorms needed repairs. On the plus side, the school's location near the mountains makes for some beautiful scenery and great skiing. Although the tuition is reasonable, I would advise any non Mormon to think twice before attending USU. Many of the nonLDS I met left after one year due to the close-minded nature of the students as well as the lack of diversity on campus.
