The campus is awesome! It isn't huge, so you can get to different buildings relatively fast. The buildings are, also, all connected so you don't have to walk outside during the winter at all, to get to different buildings. A couple buildings are new and offer great services. The parking is terrible, give yourself a few extra minutes to get to class on time, especially in the winter. So far, all the academic advisers, financial aid advisers, etc., have all been incredibly helpful. All the professors I've had so far have been pretty awesome, they want their students to succeed so they make sure we know the resources offered on campus to help with the subject they teach.
I received an associates of early childhood education. Next year I'll be continuing for my bachelor in elementary education. In my opinion UVU has one of the best education degrees around! They give you all the tools you need to succeed. Even from just the generals where a lot of wich have small class sizes, and then major classes are even more personalized and you really get to know your professors. I loved that in the education program the professors taught multiple classes so hey REALLY get to know you. The education degree is very practical and hands on wich I love, not a lot of theory more doing!
The college in general is a reasonable size and easily walkable as far as going from one class to the next. Parking is well planned I never had a problem getting to class on time. They spend a lot of effort in student body unity and activities. Plus it's a very inexpensive university!

I've only ever had one professor I didn't like. He was an English professor who didn't really take his job seriously and I didn't feel like I was learning anything, and his personality didn't get along with mine, and he wasn't professional at all. But every other professor I have had has been wonderful! A lot of the professors really care about you as an individual and your success. Because class sizes are small, you really get to know your professor if you put in the effort, and vice versa. The professors come to class prepared and aren't boring when lecturing. I would definitely take different classes from the same professor. The courses are great, classes are small (I only had one class that was over 50 students, the majority of them are anywhere from 17 to 40), and different professors teach differently so you can find a professor that teaches in a way you like.
