University of Wyoming Reviews
The university's response to covid was a bit messy (though that can be said of almost any organization in 2020). However, they did a good job of balancing offering quality, in-person instruction (particularly for labs) with keeping the student body safe. Financially, they didn't use the pandemic to overcharge their students like some universities did, in fact it was so much cheaper that I was able to buy myself a car with the money I saved during the 2020-21 school year.
Overall this is a great school, my only real caution is to prepare for some harsh winters!
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.
