Junior: Brigham Young University has an outstanding uplifting atmosphere that I love! The professors are caring and understanding, and overall amazing at helping students reach their academic goals. The campus itself is gorgeous--making time in between classes a delight. One of my favorite things about BYU is their first year student mentoring experience. Each and every freshman is assigned to a mentor that they meet with throughout their first couple semesters. The mentors are also students so it is very nice to have some sense of camaraderie. What I also love about BYU is that everyone is friendly. Whenever I needed help a kind soul was there with a smile. Prayers before classes start and the devotionals each week really invite the spirit which only enhances my learning. The commitment to lifelong learning and service is something that has been instilled in me from BYU's values and is something I will take with me long after I graduate.... Read 8,513 reviews

Freshman: The community is small and inclusive, there are always events going on and ways to be included to meet new people! I’ve been living in the dorms and it has been a great experience. The food is very good for the most part and after scholarships (which most everyone gets) I have found it affordable with a simple job! Amazing classes here. All the teachers know you personally by the end of the class and are very kind when you are struggling. It feels like I’m at home here plus you get a scholarship for just being some programs like the art or music program. You also get a scholarship for returning each year. I’m hoping to finish my bachelors in 3 years since most my high school credits transfered. The best part is you are right in the middle of sugar house with a part right across the street and everything within minutes from you. A lot of the students are transfer students so it is great to get to know other cultures by getting to know others. They have great opportunities being here.... Read 1,079 reviews

Freshman: I love it here at the U! While there is a sense of school pride, there is not an excessive focus on college sports, while we have an excellent football team, you could easily go all four years without going to a game and not miss out on anything. They have excellent staff especially in general education requirement classes. My only major issue is that it is practically impossible to live on campus past freshman year. I would recommend the U to anyone comfortable with renting an apartment past their first year.... Read 4,251 reviews

Sophomore: The learning atmosphere at Weber State University is lively and interesting. The academics provide a superior education because they are renowned for having devoted and experienced lecturers. The campus is hopping with intriguing activities, initiatives, and student organizations where you may explore new hobbies and meet others who share your interests. The university's dedication to establishing a feeling of community and empowering students to have a positive effect is admirable. Even though Weber State has numerous advantages, increasing diversity and inclusion would improve the environment. Take advantage of the chances, interact with peers, and add to the conversation around inclusion. Have fun while you're a student at Weber State!... Read 2,210 reviews

Alum: Great school overall. Some amazing professors. Lots a scholarship opportunities and seriously one of the best Presidents you can have at a university. It does feel more like a commuter school. You don’t quite get the big university feel which can be a pro or a con for an individual. I was a transfer student and did enjoy my previous university more. At UVU I did appreciate the hybrid model I was able to utilize because life happens and sometimes you need to go to school online. I would highly recommend this university for their programs but also if you want to get you generals out of the way. It was a great stepping stone university for those also wanting to start here with because of the open enrollment then transfer else where. My only complaint is that there wasn’t a lot of school spirit and not a lot of major activities like dances or parties compared to what other public institutions in the state had. Again, some people might prefer that!... Read 3,554 reviews
