University of Utah Reviews

"Dietetic rotation is included, the faculty is accomplished and helpful, and in-state tuition is reasonable considering. Class is very small and thus you get a lot of one on one attention. The curriculum is vigorous and focused on the hard sciences which is excellent. The facilities could use some updating (old computer lab, old building, etc.). Overall, a fantastic program in one of the countries most beautiful and geographically diverse states. People are healthy, friendly, generous, and positive. I love Utah and the University of Utah!"

"Great program, quality of education is outstanding and instructors are very knowledgeable and give real world information and training."

"My graduate program at the University of Utah is one of the few in the nation addressing the needs of preventive health care. The campus is beautiful and well located in Salt lake City where year-round activities such as skiing, golf, biking, hiking, and Southern Utah are right out the door. Plus an international airport in the heart of the city so travel is very easy! The program is staffed by dedicated professors who personally involved themselves in your success. I feel lucky to be part of the program and look forward to entering the professional world with my wealth of education."

"The graduate program entails small class sizes, allowing for teacher and student interaction. A comfortable, fostering environment promote learning. However, the program is fairly new and is in the developmental stages."

"The pharmacy program is pretty good overall. I have liked the material overall and the research opportunities are second to none."

"I love the program. The Faculty is fantastic! But traveling and lodging can be difficult."

"Overall the environment at SJ Quinney is great. Faculty, staff and students are very supportive. The majority of the staff are extremely willing to meet with you and are approachable."

"I love the program and all the professors. It's a great school!"

"Professors are willing to work with students and meet with them before, after, and anytime outside of class to help them understand the material."

"Overall the school is great, just expensive."

"Pros - Excellent academic program and wide variety of focus areas within mechanical engineering. Most faculty are engaging lecturers and the research programs are very strong. Great opportunities for outdoor activities (hiking, skiing, mountain biking, etc) and plenty of stuff to do downtown (if you have the $) and on campus (much of it free!) Good public transportation (Trax/buses) If you search around, you can find decently priced food on campus (hint: the Biotechnology building cafe) Strong sports program if you like watching collegiate competition (football, gymnastics, ski team, etc) Cons - Many students live off-campus, and some live pretty far away (I found a place 6 mi from campus) Campus is not de-iced adequately in winter - this could be an issue if you have mobility challenges, and gets old fast when trying to walk between classes Commuter campus - changes the atmosphere a little, not really a big deal"

"Big pros: pretty affordable, both tuition wise and cost of living in the area. Professors are generally very helpful and friendly. Technology is pretty well used here. Big cons: It's very cold in the winter..."

"The pros of the physician assistant program are: 1) most recent and evidence-based medicine for highest quality health outcomes; 2) excellent faculty and advisors consistently involved in the student's progress through the program; 3) focus on the "whole" person, not just the disease/disorder/illness; 4) focus on making a difference to our community; and 6) small class size that enables more interaction with the rest of the students. Some cons are that there is little or no time for family and/or social life; few scholarships given; texts are simple notes pages and outlines without full explanations."

"Pros - supportive environment without the cutthroat competitive you find in other programs. nice collegiality. Cons - faculty accessibility"

"Pros: You learn a crap load of statistics Pros: Faculty are great, especially in the population/demography/medical sociology track. Cons: It isn't officially ranked yet, so it's hard for potential employers to understand where the UofU fits in the overall scheme of Sociology PhD programs."

"Pros: 1) Great location due to the outdoor activities and the clean city. 2) My advisors are kind people who are genuinely interested in my success. 3) The student body is very diverse, including people from all over the world. Cons: 1) Funding has been an issue for me and others in my lab group."

"I love that the classes are in the evening as it allows me to keep my full-time job. I also enjoy the small class size. One con about the program is that the classes are all held in a very old building that does not incorporate much technology."

"Grad Program in Exercise and Sport Science, with concentration in Sports Medicine. The program has definitely improved and grown since I graduated as the first MS class with concentration in Sports Medicine. The clinical experience as a GA ATC was wonderful."

"The faculty are great, and I the quality of education is way higher than the school I did my undergraduate studies at. I love Salt Lake. However, it is relatively expensive to attend, and financial aid isn't great."

"The program is not very competitive and is therefore not very challenging. The classes are all combination classes with undergraduates and preservice teachers and are quite theoretical as opposed to research focused and/or applicable. The professors I have been connected with had been good people trying to do their best, but there is little technology support, the classrooms and accommodations are lousy, and the courses are trying to do do much with too many levels of knowledge in their students."
