What can I say about USU? First off, they have some amazing professors, who by and large are able and willing to go above and beyond for students. The converse to this is the administrative staff. While all are hard working, and one or two are exemplars of student advocates, by and large the average administrator at USU will ignore and overlook you. As I said, this is not all of them, but I have experienced it one too many times in my time on campus to not see it as somewhat pervasive. Too many times I have been forced to go to someone higher in the chain in order to get even the most basic of things done, and have had more than a few of them treat me with open disdain for my requests for assistance in sorting out occasional issues. Also, disconnects in the chain of communication via email and phone calls is also something that myself, as well as a good number of friends (who are now, or were at the time, fellow students) have experienced. This is unfortunate, in my opinion, as the teaching staff has so many wonderful educators in it, but the experience is ultimately bogged down from the issues on the administration side. Again, this is not to say it is a universal experience (and there are a few people there who I will forever be grateful), but this has been my own and my friends' experience. Take it as you will, but be aware that it exists.
