University of Wyoming Reviews
I have worked three jobs on campus over my career; a work-study position, a teaching assistant in the Animal Science department, and finally as a Residence Hall RA. There are lots of job opportunities on campus!
I would like to see more communication from the department heads or "higher ups" and student input on campus issues. I would like to see higher paid individuals to ask for more student input and ideas to improve campus.
First off, the COJO department is such a great department to study for. My professors really cared about the material they were teaching and you could tell they were excited to come to class every day. There are so many wonderful faculty members on campus. The array of subjects students can study AND RESEARCH always blows my mind. There's so much opportunity here.
Game days are also so much fun.
Laramie is just such a great town for young people to find themselves in a judgment-free zone. I'm really proud of how different Laramie is from the rest of Wyoming and I love living here.
The snow gets a 3/10 most days, though! However, you get used to it.
The party scene is average unless you're under 21, it's fun if you are 21+(legally or not legally). Do not drink in the dorms or come back to the dorms after drinking, UWPD are some of the worst people on campus and will give you an MIP no questions asked, they suck.
