Southern Utah University Reviews
Rating 3.79 out of 5 1,979 reviews
Southern Utah University is a great school! With academic and Institute, I am taking 22 classes this first semester. I am majoring in Music Performance with trombone. I hope to become a religious or musical educator. I have enjoyed SUU so much! I am working a part time job. Cedar City has lots of job opportunities for students. I recently returned from serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. SUU has a great school to transition from mission to university life. SUU has been such a positive experience and great learning atmosphere. I would strongly recommend SUU to anyone looking for a great and fun university experience, especially freshman coming from high school like myself. I am so grateful for my experience and memories at Southern Utah University.
Overall I have had a great experience at Southern Utah University. The vast connection SUU has to outdoor locations such as national parks and other outdoor features has made many aspects of my schooling enjoyable. I have been able to take classes that take advantage of living in such a cool location. I have studied geography, astronomy, and outdoor recreation in many nearby national parks!
The smaller class size has made learning easier. I feel like this is a contributing factor for having so many professors who truly care about the students and helping them learn the concept. I have been able to uniquelys spend a good amount of time one-on-one with my professors to extra help in particularly challenging courses.
The one thing that I wish was better is the student body's enthusiasm and connectivity among one another.

Attending Southern Utah University has been the best college experience I ever had. To begin with, there is so much to do on campus that it is impossible to be bored. There's a whole range of clubs and sports activities to attend. Annually they have what's called a "Paint the Town Red Event" in the middle of downtown every year to introduce the variety of clubs you can sign up for. They shut a huge part of Main Street down to put this event on and they have demonstrations and displays of what the clubs are. For example, the Agriculture Club had a practice bull and a rope for people to try out! And not only this, they have so many sports events you can attend like pickle ball, basketball and even rock climbing! It's so easy to make friends this way. As an added bonus to living in Southern Utah, the school encourages students to explore the outdoors by letting students rent kayaks, hiking and camping gear from their outdoor rental department. This school is perfect for outdoorsy people!
