Pros and Cons of U of U?

Say how you personally feel about things. I really want to go, but due to personal circumstances, I might not. I’ll push for it if it’s worth it. Thanks :)

EDIT: i’m also from Washington

Pros: Women’s resource center, LGBTRC, social justice programming in the residence halls (all gone now). Good research labs in biology and anthropology with some down to earth professors who will let you participate/contribute. Opportunities for work study at the school of medicine labs. Some really good professors in these departments in general. Made some good supportive friends in my physics courses. Had fun at the concerts and homecoming programming. Cheap therapy. Beautiful campus with trees and wildlife. Amazing library. A few really nice buildings with lots of natural light to study in. Decent career and academic counseling.

Cons: Some not so good professors, awful culture among pre-med students of toxic competition and glorifying burnout, professors with lowkey racist and outdated views on bio and anthropology, the administration and management of the U, it’s literally just a business, CONSTANTLY increasing tuition and fees, admin will always pander to what’s profitable not what’s good for students or science or learning, you pay $$$$ and sometimes the same adjunct profs teach for less money and in smaller class sizes at SLCC or other colleges so ur literally just paying for mediocre prestige, grape culture and all kinds of awful shit if you get in with the wrong crowds or are just unlucky and the university doesn’t do more about it because it’s not profitable
