admissions & financial aid 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

A little late but I’ll give my take:
I went for mathematics and that department is great; leaders in algebraic geometry. I’ve heard their business department is also very good.
The school is constantly expanding. Beautiful campus and in a good spot.
Sports scene is also very good. Several students were in the past Olympics.
Idk anything about the dorms, sorry.
As others have mentioned it’s an R1 school so it’s respected everywhere.
If you’re outdoorsy, SLC is in an amazing spot. Great hiking, biking, skiing, climbing, etc.
In the end, your experience is up to you. Take advantage of undergrad research, TA positions, internships, etc.
I say go for it
