    All of the professors here are amazing! I truly enjoy going to class. They're witty and help you with anything you need help with. The student reviews help out a lot as well. There are always Teacher's Aids to help with any questions you might have. Blackboard also allows the students in the class to communicate; which has been great to help organize study groups for upcoming papers, quizzes, or tests.

    Logan is a great place to be! Its a small campus so you can find your way around easily, and its great being in the mountains. There are a lot of things to do and you met a lot of diverse and great people.
    Bang for the buck

    For the type of education you get, you get a great deal on it. Kids from all over the U.S. praise how great of a deal Utah State is for the education you receive.
    Tips for prospective students

    My advice: Study early, study often, and take advatage of every study session you can! The reviews are great to go to, but don't forget to be social and have fun!

    Utah State is great for anyone who loves the outdoors. There is hiking, a ski resort close by and a lot of fun activities every week. There is something always going on, on campus! Hockey games, football, basketball, Utah State is just a fun place to be!

    I always am learning something new. Whether its in class with the great professors here or even if its just being away from home and even learning from all my fellow students. Utah State really has a great atmosphere for learning.
    Am enjoying being here

    When I went home for the summer I couldn't wait to come back! Its so fun! The people here are so great. I have never met anyone who is mean. Its really easy to find your way around. There are a lot of fun activities always going on! I love meeting all the people that I have met!
    Bang for the buck

    I believe that Utah State is one of the cheapest University's in Utah. With all the raises with school prices Utah State only went up 200 dollars. The books well those aren't so cheap but there are LOTS of other resources to get books. Housing is pretty easy to find. There are LOTS of apartments to choose from and they are pretty cheap. On Campus housing is pretty great for the first year.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is a great school and I would recommend it to anyone. It has such a great atmosphere and the people and professors are great. There is so much to do up here to get involved. If you do decide to attend Utah State I would live on campus your first year and just get acquainted with the area.
    Great for these types of students

    Utah State is really actually great for all kinds of students. There are lots of resources if you struggle in something and its free! Like there is math tutoring and English help and there are these things that are so wonderful called SI's and they are basically a study group and they are way nice and just about every class has them!

    All the classes I have enrolled in, and am currently enrolled in have been very helpful to my learning. With maybe one or two exceptions, my professors have been great: very willing to help and knowledgeable about the material they are teaching.

    Dorm life on campus is great! I live in the Living Learning Center which is a very nice place to live. The RA's are great and the housing accommodations are fantastic! There is always something to do on campus and in the community so I always have something to do!
    Bang for the buck

    As an out-of-state student and kin of alumni, I was awarded a great scholarship that covered all out-of-state fees. The quality of my education, the social benefits, and the location of USU are all well worth what I pay!

    I am loving my classes here! One of my classes is kind of confusing, but I am still learning a lot. The professors here really know how to teach and still keep the subject interesting. I actually enjoy going to my classes!

    There is a perfect balance between a study environment and a social scene. Everyone is super nice and outgoing. The school spirit is also really cool. The sports games are one of my favorite things to go to. I found my perfect college!

    One of the things that I am really glad I did is finding a job on campus. It's great because your job is right where your classes are! I have also really liked living on campus because then you are in the center of everything and have the chance to participate in a lot of evening activities.

    I can't even explain how much I love Utah State. It is so much fun and I am receiving such a great education. There are many activities to get the students involved. The USU basketball and football games are the best. It is amazing to see how much school spirit our school has when you go to these games and it is so much fun to be a part of it. The campus is beautiful. I love it because it is not too big, but also not to small either.

    I am getting every dollars worth that I have spent in going to Utah State.

    I live in some apartments down the street from the University campus and across the street from the Spectrum and the Stadium. It is the perfect location because you are still close to the school, and also all of the sporting events are right across the street.

    Utah State University is a great place if you don't want to get lost in the crowd of a large university. Although it is big here, you always feel like you are important and a part of the school.

    The classes are very discussion and lecture based so you always are learning. The professors are very helpful and friendly. They want you to succeed as much as you do! It is easy to go and talk to them at anytime. They are always willing to sit down and talk to you about class if you do not understand a topic.

    I love attending USU! The education is amazing, the cost is great, and the people are so friendly! There is always something to do on campus, the gyms are in amazing conditions with top-notch equipment and the people are open, willing to help, and always wanting to make new friends!
    Bang for the buck

    I pay out-of-state tuition at USU and it is an amazing price! I pay as much going to USU as I would in-state tuition back home! Gaining residency is easy to do and then the cost is unbeatable, less than $4,000!!! For the amout of money you pay here, you get so much more out of it, USU hosts so many free activities and events it's incredible! Definitely worth it!
    Tips for prospective students

    ~Explore the campus! There are so many little secret places on campus, it's so much fun to explore and enjoy!
    ~Check out the Fraternities and Sororities! The Greek system here is filled with so many great and friendly people, it's a great way to get involved and have a home and family away from home!
    ~Get involved! There are so many clubs on campus, join one! It's a great way to meet friends with your interests and to have something to do!

    Utah State provides the best all-around college experience! The city of Logan is the perfect atmosphere; it is truly a college town. There is always so much to do and experience, you can never be bored! It is such a beautiful, secluded area but there is always something fun going on- on and off campus!
    Bang for the buck

    I have never regretted making the choice to make Utah State my home and my school! I have friends who have attended others schools in and out of state and they are always complaining about something. I have always been able to find the help and resources I've needed to continue my education and I am so pleased with the way I am treated here. Scholarships are relatively simple to receive here as well, as long as you are up to the hard-work and dedication that Utah State is known for.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early and get all of your high school credits in order and send your AP Test scores to Utah State first. I would also look into living on campus at least for your first year, it helps you immerse yourself in the Utah State campus life and make the connections with peers and professors necessary for a good educational experience. Also get to know your professors, talk with them often! Their office hours are there for you to keep your education on track!

    You can find some great teachers at USU. A lot of the time you should take a class based on the teacher, not the subject and you can learn so much! They offer a wide range of classes and you don't have to start with just generals, you can mix in generals with classes related to your major.
    Am enjoying being here

    Utah State is so much fun. All the students are so welcoming and the A team is great. They help out with everything and there is so much to get involved with. Campus isn't that big and it's easy to find your way around. There is so much to do throughout the year and basketball and hockey games are the best!
    Bang for the buck

    Utah State is cheap, comparatively. The on campus dorms are nice and cheap and you get all utilities paid for. You can get lots of discounts in town cause everyone is an Aggie!
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved. Join clubs and played intramural sports, they are definitely the best! Go out and meet lots of people but also find enough time to study, it's not like high school, you really have to study for finals. Logan is a college town and you get discounts everywhere downtown and everyone is rooting for you and the basketball and hockey games are awesome! It is definitely a fun school and I will be back for 3 more years. Also, remember to stay on top of school work. I know you want to enjoy the college experience but part of that is getting your work done first.
    Great for these types of students

    Utah State has a great aviation program. That is what I am in and I love it! The atmosphere at the airport is awesome and the instructors are great. They also have a good art program, that is what my roommate is in and she loves it. They specialize and many things and have a great engineering program and agriculture. You can find almost everything to fit your needs. It is also a friendly, social college. There is always something going on and a club for everybody.

    There are so many option for majors, minors, clubs, activities, study session, it's amazing how much you get to choose from and learn about! It brings a lot of perspective to the average student because they are able to interact with people from a vast field of cultures. There are Many sessions and groups for studying and reviewing that it's easier to understand the concepts in classes.

    I love Logan! It can be very cold in the winter, but it is so worth it. The mountains, trees and bodies of water are amazing and the school is set on top of a hill so students get a wonderful view of the city and surrounding areas. There are so many opportunities in town, such as ice blocking down Old Main, many restaurants and shopping areas, Aggie ice cream, becoming a True Aggie, events on the Quad or in the TSC, and simply meeting new people Every day. It's crazy cool!
    Bang for the buck

    Utah State is one of the cheaper schools in Utah, while still being one of the highest in quality. There are many opportunities for scholarships at the beginning of school and then through whichever major you choose.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early and apply for all scholarships you have available! It's always worth the risk.

    Tips for prospective students

    Just be sure to stay on top of your work! That is the hardest thing I found about starting college! The campus is not that big so it is really easy to get around. In the winters make sure that you have good shoes, because it gets pretty icey! It is a really fun school to attend though! The classes are generally pretty small so it makes it easier to pay attention and ask questions!
    Great for these types of students

    Utah State is a social school. It seems like there is always something going on. Make sure to attend as many things as possible because it really helps you get a feel of the school and lets you meet new people! But, at the same time there is always a place where you can hide away for a few hours and get some good studying in. I really loved it!

    Yeah USU is amazing, with just two scholarships, i was able to pay my tuition and fees, and get extra in return for me to pay my books and anything else i needed
    Tips for prospective students

    If you choose USU, you wont regret it. GET INVOLVED, this is how you meet people.
    Do things that you have never done before, it is a way to open yourself up to new experiences
    Learn about who you really are. It gets you to open up to new opportunities that you thought you never had before
    and If you come for the snow, even better. Over all USU is one of the best schools i have gone to.

    Anyone who loves the snow is always welcome here, there is a reason why Utah is know for the greatest snow on earth.

    Utah State University touts a friendly atmosphere, intimate campus, world-class research faculty and ready opportunities to work with them, and accessible professors. While the professors are readily available and glad to explain difficult courses during office hours, my professors explain concepts very poorly in class. Instruction seems to emphasize superficial examples and applications, and the deeper theory is rarely taught. My electrical engineering and statics lectures are 100% example, 0% theory, and the required textbooks only superficially explain things. The science professors are much better at explaining theory, but still emphasize sample problems instead of symbolic exploration.

    However, learning opportunities outside of class are much better. Though only a freshman, I’ve been able to work with the university’s Microgravity Research Team from day one, so I’ve picked up a little heat transfer theory and have written ten pages of the team’s proposal for a 2011 experiment. Almost any faculty member will set you up in a research project if you ask them, or at least tell you what to study so that you can contribute as soon as possible. They are happy to accept volunteer lab workers.

    The USU library is an excellent learning environment. It has quiet zones, group study rooms, several large open computer labs and conversational study areas, and an excellent collection. Besides, it boasts a flood of natural light in the daytime, so you don’t feel locked up and confined inside.

    Overall, I’d say USU is a pretty average learning environment. The facilities are good and the opportunities to learn outside of class are great, but these strengths are balanced by its remarkably poor lecturers.
    Am enjoying being here

    I live on the sixth floor of the on-campus dorms at USU. They are smelly and grungy. The elevators break down. The Wi-Fi is horrible. Quiet hours are routinely violated. The dining hall by the dorms is dirty and smelly, and the food is lukewarm and greasy.

    Needless to say, I don’t enjoy where I’m living. Campus is very flat and compact, so there’s never any difficulty in crossing campus in the ten minutes between classes. That can be pretty nice, especially when the weather’s bad. However, that also means that USU’s campus lacks the large, beautiful arboreal spaces several other campuses in Utah have, and it also lacks many of the other facilities, amenities, and on-campus diversions that other Utah colleges have. The Performing Arts Center and Kent Concert Hall maintain a full schedule, so there’s almost always a good concert for a Friday night.

    Logan Canyon is just east of campus, and has many interesting day hikes to go on with friends. From my perspective as a big-city kid, Logan (pop. 50,000) has little to recommend it. Downtown consists mostly of bookshops, bike shops, and restaurants, with a smattering of historic buildings here and there. Interesting as they might be, bookshops and old houses aren’t worth going downtown for every weekend.

    The student population at USU is very friendly, with a curious mix of outgoingness and shyness. 85% of the population is LDS, so there’s less skanky clothing and fewer piercings than on many other campuses. This also means the student body is pretty quiet. The police blotter doesn’t reel with accounts of binge drinkers and streakers, which is nice.

    As for sports: USU football loses. Football games are no fun if you go for the game. USU basketball wins. Basketball games are great fun. ‘Nuff said.
    Bang for the buck

    If you’re going to move away from home to go to a Utah college and cost is a concern, USU is the place to go. Its tuition is lower than that of either Brigham Young University or the University of Utah, and it is more generous with scholarships than either. USU gives one year of half tuition for a 3.3 GPA and 28 ACT; the U. of U. only gives a semester of half tuition for the same, and BYU gives almost nothing to many applicants. USU has much lower tuition than many other schools of the same quality, and Logan's cost of living is also pretty low.

    However, if you're looking to save money, DO NOT LIVE ON CAMPUS. The on-campus housing costs as much as even the most expensive off-campus student apartments, even though the buildings are old and poorly maintained, and the on-campus housing contract is quite restrictive. Living in the dorms, with a meal plan, is nearly the most expensive housing available, in terms of total cost, and you're restricted to dining hall food and a small dorm room. Go to USU, but FIND OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING.
    Tips for prospective students

    If the University of Utah or BYU accept you and give decent scholarships, go there. USU is a good school, but the U. of U. and BYU are better schools in general.

    If you go to USU, get off-campus housing.

    Get involved in clubs or research groups. USU has many clubs of all sorts, and they're a good diversion from study. Most professors on campus are more than willing to accept freshmen into their research groups, so you can gain hands-on experience with the scientific process from day one. The upperclassmen and graduate students in these groups are almost always very friendly, and may become your best friends.

    Go to concerts. The Kent Concert Hall and Caine-Wanlass Performance Hall have a busy schedule of fine music. It's a great way to spend Friday night.

    Take advantage of the library. It's possibly the best library you'll ever have access to. Learn every nook and cranny of it.

    Make friends. Don't be grumpy.

    And of course, work hard in your classes. Study, study, study, and find a job if you have time. There is no substitute for work and study.
    Great for these types of students

    USU is ideal for students of limited financial means who wish to maximize opportunities to participate in undergraduate research, who want a moderately-sized campus of 15-20,000 students with moderately fancy facilities, and who want mostly LDS surroundings without most of BYU's quirkiness. That mostly means modest, clean, and courteous classmates. For all that, though, USU has a very diverse campus and offers an interesting international experience. USU is nationally ranked in elementary and special education, engineering, stringed instruments, and several other areas, so it's a good school to consider if you're interested in those things.

    All students have to take general education classes. Luckily for me I skipped almost all of them thanks to AP haha but I took ENGL 1010 (Basic English class if you didn't pass their ACT/SAT/AP requirements to skip) and the class was useless in teaching me new concepts and most classes were taught by grad students. Some of whom don't really care that much about teaching this particular class. Overall the gen ed classes are MASSIVE and they are getting bigger by the year. Our budget is being slashed thanks to the state congress. Some smaller majors are taking a beating to the point that they don't offer intro classes for some semesters.

    Overall it depends on your major and what you make of your time here. Things won't be handed to you on a silver platter but if you want to learn and create an effective resume. USU offers you that opportunity.

    The environment over all is one of productivity. I am in the Political Science department and it is very well structured.
    Am enjoying being here

    I come with a unique perspective. See I am an Atheist and USU is about 85% LDS. Though the people are fantastically nice and caring I found myself having a much harder time feeling like I belonged. But hey the social structure is mostly irrelevant because there are so many people here that you will find friends you can relate to.

    Oh and the school is around 80% white. Heads up if your uncomfortable with homogeneous people
    Bang for the buck

    Oh hell yea USU is cheap. The tuition is fantastic and financial aid office is extremely helpful with answering questions and resolving problems. The housing the cheap and decent while the classes offer are solid with professors truly caring about how well their class is doing. Great bang for your buck.
    Tips for prospective students

    Ask yourself what you want to find in a college. If you see yourself partying, DO NOT GO HERE. Ever since that Freshman died due to alcohol poisoning last year the party scene has since quieted down. If you got rejected from BYU, we do not want you here. If you are not LDS, consider how well you would live surrounded by LDS folks. Oh and make sure you check with your majors office to see how well your AP credit would transfer towards your major. I took 11 AP test but only 3 went to affect my major. Wish I had known that before lol

    Utah State's engineering college is one of the best in the nation. They regularly compete with schools like MIT and Columbia and their Aerospace team took first place in a national competition this past year, beating out MIT (who took second). It's definitely an amazing program, without the private school and ivy league cost!

    I have enjoyed my time at USU very much. There are plenty of on campus activities to attend as well local activities in Cache Valley. The campus grounds are well kept and it is fun to just walk around to see the flower gardens, these are most appreciated if you happen to have summer classes here. I also really like the Merrill Cazier library; it provides a very good environment to study and has a lot of resources. You can also request reading materials to be transferred to the library from a variety of outside sources, giving you amazing access to any research material you might need.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition at USU is comparable to University of Utah and Brigham Young University, two other universities in the state. When compared to tuition costs in many other states USU tuition is substantially less. I believe the quality of education to be very good for the cost.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would suggest getting admitted early in the year if you are planning on attending fall semester as it takes a little time to get all of your paper work submitted. There is a lot of affordable student housing available near the campus but the waiting lists can be a little long for some places so do not delay your search for housing. Overall there are many opportunities to enjoy the student life on campus and in the surrounding community, don't be shy explore the valley and enjoy the local culture.
    Great for these types of students

    USU is a wonderful opportunity for a variety of students. Cache Valley provides a safe friendly environment for students that are moving away from their family to attend college. Students can gain a wonderful education while separated from their families as they learn the ins and outs of making their own life decisions.

    Will learn a lot

    I got to visit Logan twice this summer and I absolutely love it! I am a transfer student from Virginia and am sooo unbelievably excited to attend Utah State. I just love everything about Logan and USU. I also went to new student orientation and was approached by so many nice people which makes me love this school even more. On top of that, the drive to Logan is very scenic; a picture perfect drive through the valley is breathtaking.
    Will enjoy being here

    I am very happy with the decision I made to transfer to Utah State. I cannot wait to get involved with clubs, attend an Aggie basketball game and explore all there is to do in Logan.
    Bang for the buck

    Though paying out-of-state tuition is a bit of a bummer, applying for residency to get in-state tuition is a pretty simple process. Besides, the price you pay is worth every penny.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early-for enrollment and for scholarships.
    Don't be afraid to meet new people and do something outside of your comfort zone. Logan and USU is a great place to explore new things.
    Get involved! There are so many activities and traditions to participate on campus.
    Study hard and have fun!

    Many have certain stigmas about state schools, but Utah State truly allows students to excel regardless of what degrees or majors they choose to pursue. You absolutely will reap what you sow, the opportunities are abundant. I've participated in Undergraduate Research, am active in the Honors Program and am thriving in the energy that permeates this University town.
    Am enjoying being here

    Being from out of state, Utah took a little while to adjust to, but I've found my niche, and absolutely love living and studying in Logan. While the diversity may not be record breaking, it's definitely there if you look. The clubs and extracurricular activities that are available are plentiful and the great outdoors are literally minutes away. I spend my weekends climbing and snowboarding in the canyons.
    Bang for the buck

    The statistics say it all. USU students graduate with the least amount of debt in the nation. The university is also a Federal Grant college, with many prestigious awards and research labs on campus, including the cloning of the first mule, and more experiments in orbit than any University in the world!
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the school, and don't rule it out if you're looking for prestige. USU was originally a 'safety' school for me, but after visiting and attending, I couldn't be happier anywhere else.
    Great for these types of students

    If you're looking for a party school, you may want to opt out of USU. The campus is dry, although opportunities to go out and have a good time are available if you know where to look. The school is great for those who are extremely studious, to those who just want to gain an excellent education. On campus activities are great, there is always something going on. If you love the outdoors and the ability to drive ten minutes to a great lead climb, look into visiting USU.

    The classes here at Utah State are interesting and enjoyable. As I am going into the field of education, it is extremely beneficial that there is an elementary school on-campus. Not to mention there are several service opportunities available here at USU. Just about any area of volunteer work is available. There are opportunities for volunteer service in education, healthcare, and community service.

    When you take a class at USU, you learn what you expected to learn from the class, and more. There are also many helpful services available, such as tutoring programs, group study rooms, computer labs, etc.
    Am enjoying being here

    There are always things going on around the USU campus. There are tons of clubs to join, and lots of fun things to do (such as a Humans vs. Zombies nerf war every semester!) You'll never be bored, and make lots of friends.
    Bang for the buck

    USU is very good about giving out scholarships and financial aid, and definitely has comparatively good tuition prices. Everything you pay in tuition and student fees comes back to you in the form of classes and school-provided services, such as a free Health Center (doctor's office), many gyms, and free bicycle rental.
    Tips for prospective students

    Live on-campus your first year, and room with a few people you don't know. It's a great way to make friends. I live currently live on-campus, and everyone in my building leaves their doors open when they are home, so you can just walk in and say hello, and very often, people hang out in the lounge or in the halls.
    Great for these types of students

    USU is great for those who want to get away from home, but not too far. It is also great for those who want many social opportunities, and awesome academic opportunity. USU has a wide variety of very good academic programs, such as the Huntsman School of Business, which is a well-known and prestigious school in the Business world.

    I love going to class! I love it because I know that everything I am learning is useful! The teachers are witty and extremely helpful! Every teacher I have had has always been available to me for help outside of class. They really want you to succeed! And there are these great things called SI (supplemental instructor). Basically you have the option of going to another lecture given by a student who has previously taken the class to get even more help with what you're learning in class. I did this for my biology class and it really helped me to grasp the material because I was having it explained to me multiple times.

    Utah State is AMAZING!!! I'm a transfer student to USU and it's the best decision I have ever made! You wont go wrong if you choose Utah State! The students are friendly, there are tons of clubs to get involved in, and plus who doesn't love some Aggie basketball and Aggie ice cream?

    Utah State is extremely affordable! Even if you're a student from out of state there are scholarships available to you that help you to get in state tuition.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! Being involved enhances your college experience and helps you to make so many friends! Almost every major as a club, there are service clubs, leadership clubs, and even meditation clubs! There is something for everyone! Just find a club to be involved with and go for it!

    Education can't be beat when you come to Utah State. Not only do the professors know what they are talking about but you've got extra help all over campus. Large classes have outside extra review from people just like you that have been there and done that - as far as taking the course you're in and done well in it.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's not just an academic college it's constantly providing awesome social activities to sport anyone's interests. Football, basketball, and hockey games being on top of events one should attend. But hey.. if that isn't where your heart is they've got poetry and a drink, art museum, musical concerts, and so much more. Find you place here where the Aggies are always blue.
    Bang for the buck

    Any college is going to have expenses, after expenses, after expenses. However, price around and you'll find that Utah State has one of the lowest tuition rates among other leading Universities of it's kind. Not to mention they're always trying to find ways that you as an Aggie can get discounts and save a few bucks here and there.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take each course by the horns and drag the bull down. Or .. just be on top of it and actually do the reading assignments, attend class and most importantly LISTEN.

    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful and the people are so fun. : ) I like the courses and teachers, too. It's very easy to get involved and there is a lot of school spirit and school pride. The basketball games, especially, are a blast. There are plenty of different clubs, and it's just fun to be random on campus. There are also tons of activities to do off campus, like hiking, skating, cliff jumping, country swing dancing, etc, etc, etc!
    Bang for the buck

    Considering other colleges in the state, Utah State is pretty decent tuition-wise. They also have lots of scholarship opportunities to help out on the cost of school. Housing isn't too bad either. There is good priced housing both on and off campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is a school where you get a real 'college experience.' You can only really get the college experience if you're willing to work for it. You have to work academically, and you have to be willing to go outside your comfort area and meet new people. But believe me, it's all worth it!

    I would have learned more if their classes were more ADA compliant.
    Did enjoy being here

    I hated it so much, I left and will never go back. People were amazingly rude and intolerant, it was very hard to get around in my wheelchair. There was a man there who was harassing and stalking not only myself but three other girls that I know of, and it wasn't taken seriously. I missed a final because they didn't plow the sidewalks and my professor thought that wasn't a good enough reason to miss it. The good things there were far and few between.

    Rude people, hard to get around in a wheelchair, safety concerns and little help from others. It isn't what I was hoping for at all.

    Utah State is full of tradition and pride. The people are so nice and the size is perfect for meeting new people all the time while still being able to see the ones you already know often. Aggie Basketball is the best thing you'll ever see!
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! There are so many resources and activities available for you to use that you already pay for with your tuition. So attend and use them! Don't be afraid to do what you want. Whether you need quiet time in the library or a break for some time on the quad--you'll find what you need.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes take work, but if you're willing to take time and energy, you'll get a good grade.
    Dorm Life

    On-campus housing is great! I've never met a bad RA and the people are a lot of fun! The bus system is wonderful and can take you anywhere on campus--even some off-campus apartments are shuttle-accessible.
    Food and Dining

    There are many different places to eat on campus and they are all pretty good. Students work at all of them. Getting a meal plan is a bit pricey, but if you are on campus a lot and can't cook for yourself then it's worth it.
    What to do for fun

    So many things! There's always something going on somewhere, especially at the beginning of the school year. There's events all the time. If there's nothing on campus, the city of Logan has bowling, food, a great mall, the canyon close by for camping, hiking, and fires--just so many things to participate in.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is expensive to say the least. But that pays for so many resources available on campus that are free throughout the year. The new recreation center is being built, so that adds dollars onto tuition for the next few years to people that aren't even going to be able to use it because they'll be gone and graduated before it's finished.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Become a True Aggie! Finals week traditions, Aggie athletics are so much fun--so much unity and fun to be a part of.

    Despite the weather, the campus is great and the people are very friendly here. I can't imagine a better campus environment and the class sizes for specialty courses are reasonably small. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.
    Tips for prospective students

    Bring warm clothes and a longboard. There is a good balance between social life and schoolwork here. Make sure you check reviews for teachers to know which teacher will work best for your learning style.
    Academic Rigor

    In the mechanical engineering department, it is definitely an emphasis to spend a lot of time studying material and most teachers I've had are very willing to help answer questions regarding the class content. They want us to have a well-rounded education and encourage working individually and in groups to solve problems.
    Dorm Life

    Never lived on campus, but I've heard good things about most places. Some places require you purchase a meal plan though (tends to be expensive).
    Food and Dining

    There are so many places to go to eat here in the city of Logan including on campus. I prefer not to eat on campus however, the costs are a bit higher I think.
    What to do for fun

    Longboarding, rock climbing, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, canoeing, anything outdoors. There are always parties and plenty of opportunities for socializing.
    Bang for the buck

    I know that the tuition is cheaper than most places and definitely the cost of living is pretty low. I wouldn't recommend every paying out of state tuition though, that is a rip-off.

    Utah State is home. Sure, the academic portion of the university is superb, however, Utah State offers much more than an education. It offers involvement, leadership, service opportunities, companionship, character building, and the feeling of being part of something more.
    Tips for prospective students

    Live on campus your first year, preferably, south campus. The friendships I've made have meant the world to me. Living on campus can be just as cheap as living off. Don't be afraid to be in a ghetto building. That's part of the college experience. Also, do your homework. Not only the homework from your classes, but look into finding the best deals for food, books, and housing. Saving money becomes a lot easier when you do your research.
    Academic Rigor

    Utah State offers many great programs, many of which are highly ranked across the country. The Elementary Education program is in the top 2% for all U.S. colleges, and the Engineering and Buissness programs are also excellent. The only down side is that the University does not have a Health program. Pre-Health studies can be accomplished here, but after those courses are completed, students may need to transfer to another school to complete the program.
    Dorm Life

    Living in the dorms is such a great opportunity, especially at Utah State. I would recommend anywhere in South Campus, because the location is unbeatable, the prices are the lowest on campus, and the community is amazing. In fact, my building (Reeder Hall) was voted best community in the West; that includes all universities west of the Mississippi. Everyone is very social, and you can always find something to do, or someone to hang out with. My best friends were made in the dorms. If you are an incoming freshman, not living in the dorms would be a mistake. My college experience has been tremendous, and I have dorm life to thank for that.
    Food and Dining

    Another reason why South Campus is a good choice, is because you have your own kitchen, and therefore, are not required to have a meal plan. I work at the Marketplace, where everyone goes for their meal plans. Yes, the food is pretty good, but you get tired of it after a while, and it is overall, cheaper, to make your own meals. If you choose to go with a meal plan, there are a lot of different dining options at Utah State. Places, such as the Quad Side Cafe, are great for a quick and delicious meal.
    What to do for fun

    The great thing about Utah State, is that it rests within a college town. That means that there are a lot of fun activities and discounts for college students. Logan has a lot to offer. Some of my favorite activities include Country Swing Dancing every Monday and Wednesday night, Karaoke at Pizza Pie Cafe every Thursday night, 80's Roller Skating every Tuesday night, bowling, free concerts, dances, Institute parties, and plays.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The most well-know tradition is True Aggie Night. Every full moon, people gather around theA statue, and take their turn kissing upon it. They then get a True Aggie care that states the name of the person they kissed.

    USU has quite a few places to eat on campus, but Logan has a huge selection of very diverse places to eat that are fairly close to campus.
    What to do for fun

    Beaver Ski / Snowboarding resort is just a short drive away and since Logan gets so much snow in the winter it is perfect. There are also a lot of off roading places in Logan that are fun to take a truck or 4-wheelers and drive around. The mouth of Logan canyon is right next to campus and it is a lot of fun to go up there and have a bonfire or go camping.
    Bang for the buck

    The classes were not extremely hard, but they required work. I was never staying up all night trying to finish assignments, but I knew that there was always work I could be doing for a class. There was always a good balance of work that I had to do, but also be able to have free time and enjoy my friends.
    Dorm Life

    I absolutely loved my roommates! My dorm was co-ed and I actually liked it a lot more than I expected to; all of the people were respectful to the rules and guidelines. I know that isn't guaranteed everywhere, but I haven't really heard many building problems. My biggest problem was with my resident assistant; she seemed to hate her job and everyone in the building, but other than that it was really easy to get along with anyone in the building. The only thing I would have changed would have been to have had more activities for the building as a whole.
    Food and Dining

    I didn't really make use of on-campus dining that often, but my favorite was the Skyroom in the Taggart Student Center. The Skyroom is like a diamond in the rough; not many people know about it, but I love it! They have soup, salad, rolls, and dessert all for $7, but for $10 you can get all of that plus a real buffet. It's on the top floor of the building, overlooking campus, with a piano player, and not very many people. Campus has a lot of different food options from delicious $1 pieces of toast at Hazel's, to Taco Time for a quick Mexican snack, or Asian, Italian, American, or even one of the several cafes located on campus.
    What to do for fun

    Logan seems boring and lacking in the activity area, but really, there are lots of things to do.
    1. Clean the sink at Angie's... Classic Logan for sure
    2. Explore Main Street, there is always something new to find
    3. $3 theater! They always have at least one good movie
    4. Try a new restaurant! My roommates and I tried so many different types of food... Thai, Indian, and even simple things like Sonic
    5. Ride down Old Main Hill, no matter how you do it, it's always fun. You can go skiing, sledding, slip and sliding... The options are really endless
    6. Stay home and watch a movie!
    7. Stay home and do a craft, play a game, meet your neighbors!
    8. Do something on campus, there's always something going on
    9. Football games, basketball games, and hockey games are to die for!
    10. Roller blading, bowling, country swing dancing all at the Fun Park!
    11. Bon Fire
    12. Cliff jumping
    13. Star observatory on campus
    14. Play hide-and-seek in the giant library
    15. Take pictures on the statues
    There are so many things to do! I could go on forever, there was never a dull moment this year!
    Bang for the buck

    Utah State is a bit pricey, especially if you don't have scholarships. You do get your bang for your buck with the student fees though; the transportation on campus is such a lifesaver! I fell in love with the Aggie Shuttle, especially on snowy days. The gym and library were also great parts of the students fees because they have such wide varieties.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    True Aggie is the prime tradition; you have to kiss someone who is a true aggie on the A at midnight on a full moon in order to become a true aggie. On homecoming night and A night, any two people can kiss and become true aggies together.
    Great for these types of students

    Utah State is great for all types of students because there is a very strong LDS influence, so there is a huge institute program, but people of different faiths are also able to have a lot of fun. USU is just a great place for people who like to have fun.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are countless clubs for people to join, really, any interest can be satisfied and there are always people who are interested in the same things as you. USU is great with activities; if there wasn't something I found to do on my own, there was always something on campus from concerts, dances, dinner events, movie nights, star observatories, or True Aggie, there were always plenty of options.
    Greek Life

    I didn't participate in Greek life, but it played a big role on campus. I liked how they were very service oriented. They lived up to their party potential, but most of them were alcohol free. It played a big enough role where people knew they existed, but they also remained at a point where people that weren't interested could avoid them.
    Campus Safety

    I always felt very safe on campus, but never over protected. The campus is well lit, there are usually police nearby, and there are police call boxes in case of emergencies. I liked how small the campus was, so it seemed like someone was always there if I needed them, but could also get away if I needed some alone time.

    Utah State I an open door for opportunities for those who want to succeed. It may be cold during the winter but the community, campus and over all college experience their will change you mind. I would only expect the the utmost superior education so long as the effort is as equal as the faculty and staff.
    Tips for prospective students

    Tour, tour, tour, if you have college's you like tour them, if you have colleges you don't really care for, well tour those ones as well. I thought I would be attending UNLV in Las Vegas. Before I knew it I fell in love with USU in Logan. So my advice is to tour a college not just once but at least twice and with different people around, also tour colleges that may not appeal to you because who knows... I sure didn't and I'm glad to say I love where I'm going.
    Academic Rigor

    From presidents to principals, billionaires to school board members, governors to teachers, everybody seems to be either promising rigor,
    demanding rigor, or deploring the lack of rigor in schools. I believe USU to have the faculty that has the ability to accomplish impeccable things, now this is were it gets hard, the teachers are allowing the knowledge to spread it is up to you to want to absorb that wealth of knowledge.
    Dorm Life

    I have not lived on campus but I do know this 81% of the student live on campus. This makes for a campus with a family of student. There is never a boring moment.
    Food and Dining

    The food and dining I do know a little more about I really like the set up they have, and appreciate the array of food to eat, trust me you'll you won't get bored of this food.
    What to do for fun

    If you love the out-doors then you'll love it here. Within 30 minutes from campus you can experience all of the above a spa resort, a canyon to hike in during the summer or to snow board or ski in, along with a lake to enjoy.
    Bang for the buck

    In campus tuition is a huge bang for the buck, sorry to say out of state is pricey but where isn't it. You can always find financial aid if you need it.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    On campus there is a Huge grass field that is called the quad. Well before there is a home game the student body will do an over night camp out. In front of the quad the is the old main which house's the dean and the student body president, there is a tradition to become a true Aggie (which is the schools mascot) you would have to take up a girl to the bell tower of old main at night on a full moon and kiss her.

    One of the most surprising and notable traits about this university is how kind everyone is; it's very easy to receive smiles and find friendship here.
    The atmosphere is very laid-back and friendly; one can almost forget what pressure or stress feel like.
    One of the most defining traits of this campus is the wacky weather, which has been summed up into If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes.
    Tips for prospective students

    Honestly, the biggest thing any student needs to worry about here is facing the weather. Come prepared for freezing temperatures!
    Academic Rigor

    Classes here can be difficult, but they don't come across this way due to the sheer friendliness and slow-pace of USU's atmosphere. Few students seem to be truly stressed out.
    Dorm Life

    Students rarely complain about the dorms. There's generally a really safe and friendly atmosphere in the dorms, and if you get close to the students in your area it can create a sense of family.
    Food and Dining

    Unfortunately, like many schools, the food isn't to die for. Taste is generally average, and the variety leaves much to be desired within a couple months.
    What to do for fun

    USU is definitely the place for adventurous and/or outdoors-y people. Hiking and skiing in particular seem popular.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who enjoy an easy-going pace or atmosphere, love snow, love athletics, love mountains, or just want as friendly a place as possible.

    Utah State is a very good school with large school opportunities but a small school community feeling. There are many opportunities available to students to succeed and the professors are always willing to help. There are countless ways to get involved and have a fun college experience too.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are a freshman, live in freshman dorms to get that fun experience. Come in with a plan even if it ends up changing; don't waste your first year doing classes that won't get you anywhere. Remember that grades follow you forever so always try your best. Be friendly and don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.
    Academic Rigor

    If you want to skate by and not learn anything in college, you can. But if you want to succeed in life, USU will get you there. It will challenge you and make you a better qualified individual.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is really fun. Some of the places are a bit of a dive but it's more about the experiences, the safety, and the people you meet rather than the five star hotel feel.
    Food and Dining

    USU's food is not that great but you can find great food around Logan :)
    What to do for fun

    There is so much to do. Dances, basketball games, fires up the canyon, jumping in first dam, true Aggie night, skiing, sledding down old main, raquetball, ping pong, billiards, swimming,
    Bang for the buck

    Student fees can get a little ridiculous but they are good about giving scholarships to incoming freshmen. It's not too expensive for the education you receive though. Make sure you get Utah residency as soon as possible!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    True Aggie Night, you kiss on a statue called the A right on campus at midnight on the full moon. It's always a big crowd and a blast. Dirty 30's- 30 minute flash dance parties.

There is a place for everyone to get involved.

Logan is easy to navigate and the people are friendly they also have free bus systems that make life easy if you don't have a car. The only downside is that the town is not very big and so there aren't very many things going on in town, but the University tries to make up for that.

    Academic Rigor

    It has been a lot more challenging that I expected, but in most of my classes there is an SI (Supplemental Instruction) leader that holds study sessions a couple times a week and it really helps to go because the SI teacher goes over what we have learned in class, and it is in smaller groups which makes it easier to learn.
    Dorm Life

    The dorm that I lived was so much fun! I had such great roommates and neighbors. My Resident Assistant was always helping out all of the freshmen getting around campus and learning the best ways to do things, and definitely helped in getting more involved and excited about the school events.

Becoming involved in these things are such a great way to meet friends and make connections with professors and other great people.
    Greek Life

    I don't know a ton about the Greek life, but those who I know that are involved do enjoy it quite a bit. I know that Frat houses put on fun parties pretty often and they do a really good job of making it appealing to everyone.
    Campus Safety

    I have ALWAYS felt so safe being on campus. Even when coming out of the library while late at night. Everyone on campus is very friendly and considerate of others. To help secure the feeling of safety at every lamp post on campus there is an emergency button that if you don't feel safe you can push it and the campus police will come immediately and help you out, or just walk you to class if you are feeling nervous at all. The campus is very safe and friendly though, i have never had the need to use the emergency button, but it so nice knowing that it is there for if I ever do need it.

    how many universities can boast having great programs taught on a beautiful campus surrounded by one of the most gorgeous valleys in the u.s.? utah state was a perfect school for a mountain boy like me and gave me some very flexible options to work through the changes in my life as i worked to build a family while going to school.

    utah state university has a fun atmosphere, caring organization and an array of students determined to get the education they deserve. being in the state of utah, its predominantly a school with a lot of members of the church of ladder-day saints. however, the international program is outstanding and aids usu to stay diverse.
    Tips for prospective students

    if you are looking to go to utah state university, take a tour or visit the website. the university is filled with organizations, clubs and colleges that adhere to everyone. also, if you are an outdoor lover, you would absolutely enjoy logan, utah. at least for half the year, it gets pretty cold here so be sure to save up and buy the largest winter coat you can find.
    Academic Rigor

    i would say utah state university is as easy as you make it out to be. classes can be extremely difficult, however i have found that if you enjoy the class you're enrolled in, and it is one of the more difficult classes you've taken, you can still pass with flying colors thanks to the professor. i can honestly say that i've had more professors in college that have changed the way i look at things and think than ever before. the professors are there to help you, and they honestly don't like to see students fail. all teachers have office hours specifically for their students, in which anyone can go speak to them for help or just questions on grades received.
    Dorm Life

    i lived in the on-campus housing for my first two years of college. i definitely enjoyed how close i was to campus and all the people who lived in my dorm. i lived in an all-girl dormitory and met girls i will be friends with for a long time, even after college. the staff and other residents really encourage you to get involved with school activities, attend school-related parties and even answer questions on math homework. i would encourage first year students to live on campus in order to gain the great experiences that i had.
    Food and Dining

    to be absolutely honest, i really struggled with my meal plan when i live on campus. it was hard to eat when you were in a cafeteria setting. since i haven't lived on campus for almost a full year now, i can't say whether or not the on-campus food and dining cafeterias have gotten any better, but i can say that the cafe's on campus are great. the quad side cafe is attached to the library and is probably where i spend most of my time studying, hanging out with friends or enjoying a cup of coffee. their food is great and is worth the money you spend on it.
    What to do for fun

    logan is a college town, so there are a lot of fun things to do that apply to college students. there is always something to do on campus, literally at any time of day and any day of the week. usu always has excellent guest speakers who come and talk for free and the university always hosts great parties for holidays. usu is a beautiful town and has many outdoor recreational activities that residents take advantage of. if you are a student you get a discount on ski or snowboard rentals for the beaver ski resort just 30 minutes away. there are also a lot of indoor recreational activities, such as rock haus which is an indoor climbing center. i've spent most of my time there meeting people and gaining upper body strength!
    Bang for the buck

    utah state university has beautiful buildings and old main is a great sight to look at from the quad. usu has so much history and keeps that alive. however, i am a girl who is catholic, an only child, and comes from a single parent family. so i am probably considered the minority. most of the students who go to usu are members of the lds church. if you are coming from out of state, do a little research on the religion just to get a basic understanding of the culture you will be entering. just remember though, if you are any religion, any ethnicity or any form of a person you will be accepted and treated fairly at usu.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    we celebrate something called true aggie night. we have a giant a on campus made of concrete, and every homecoming you can become a true aggie by standing atop the a and kissing another aggie. this can only be done for the first time on homecoming night. however, if you are already a true aggie, and the love of your life isn't... you can make them a true aggie on the night of a full moon. the university gives out small calendars that you can stick to your fridge to remind you of when a true aggie night comes around. just this year utah state made it into the record books with the longest kissing chain. i'm not sure if that is something to necessarily be proud of, but it put logan, utah on the map!
    Great for these types of students

    usu is great if you are a member of the lds church, if you are interested in business or marketing the huntsman school of business is the place for you, if you are interested in music, art or theatre the caine college of the arts is a wonderful start.
    Campus Safety

    usu provides all kinds of ways to make the students feel safe. logan has a very low crime rate already, and the campus police make it even lower. usu police will escort you home if you feel there uncomfortable walking at a late hour, there are on-campus services such as sexual assault and anti-violence information, saavi, provides support of those who have been raped or just have questions about sexual assault.

    make sure you get a contract for housing early whether you're on campus or off. also, register for classes as soon as possible. it's also good to walk around campus at least a couple times before classes start so you know where different buildings are.

    the on-campus dining can be expensive, but it's about the same at every university. the food is really good, though. there are a lot of great restaurants around campus, and many of them give you a pretty good bang for your buck.

    logan has something for everyone! the canyons provide a great place for camping, rock climbing, hiking, caving, and other outdoor activities. skiing and snowboarding are fairly close, and the vast number of clubs provide students with a wide array of other activities, like swing dancing.

    utah state is an incredible school with tons of student involvement opportunities, excellent professors and programs, and really nice students. it's really easy to find a balance between school and fun here because the classes are all fascinating and there are a lot of fun things to do on and around campus when you need a break from studying.
    Tips for prospective students

    i recommend living on campus your first year. this may not seem ideal to some people, but it's actually the best option. i chose to live on campus my freshman year, and it was one of the best decisions i've made! you meet a ton of people, only have to walk a few minutes to get to any of your classes (so it's not a problem if you wake up right before class starts), and there are always people and fliers updating you about what's happening on campus. living on campus is a great idea.
    Academic Rigor

    i'm a mechanical engineering major, so my classes are very rigorous. however, all of my classes really interesting so studying is a simple task. i always feel challenged and i know i'm learning new things, but i never feel overwhelmed. i think this is really important for a college, and usu does a great job with finding that balance.
    Dorm Life

    dorm life at utah state is a blast. all of the on campus dorms are really nice, and most of them are really close to campus so it only takes a few minutes to walk to your farthest class. there are also lots of fun programs that the students in the dorms get to participate in, and each floor is assigned a resident assistant who helps with the stress of college life and also any roommate issues that may arise. i've had a blast living in the dorms. it's a constant social atmosphere, but it's also easy to break away to sleep or study when you need to.
    Food and Dining

    usu has a few on campus dining options, but i've only been to two of them: the junction and the marketplace. the marketplace is everyone's favorite because the food tastes great and there's a little bit of everything: fast food, asian, pasta, pizza, aggie ice cream and other desserts, fruit and vegetables, and all sorts of other options. the marketplace is a favorite for on-campus diners. however, i'm not going to lie, i refused to eat at the junction (nicknamed the junk) for my first semester because i thought it was just gross cafeteria food. i've been proved wrong recently, though, and i actually enjoy eating there. aside from campus, we have a mcdonalds, wendy's, burger king, cafe rio, noodles & co., and all sorts of other chain restaurants. we also have a great diner called angie's which has amazing food and a fun ice cream challenge called cleaning the sink.
    What to do for fun

    there is so much to do for fun, no matter what you're into! the school has clubs for everything, and if they don't have one for what you're interested in then you can start it yourself. there are epic dance parties that people from all over utah come to, and the halloween dance, the howl, is attended by people from tons of different places in the country. there's also poetry and a beverage, true aggie nights, video game nights, basketball games with one of the rowdiest crowds in the nation, and all sorts of other things on campus. not too far from campus there is also hiking, sledding, skiing, snowboarding, camping, off-roading, movies, and tons of other fun activities.

    utah state is a highly accredited institution with amazingly low tuition and student fees. most usu students graduate with hardly any debt because of the low cost and countless scholarship opportunities.

    One of the things I find impressive is the teachers and their enthusiasm for teaching. They are concerned that you are learning in class, and that you get the grade you deserve.

    I like just about everything about here except for the cold, and even that is bearable. The community is friendly, and there are quite a few exchange students with our sister school in China. The bus system is free, making transportation throughout the city plausible for those without vehicles.

    I would recommend this school for Utah residents in respect towards tuition. Instate students pay a lot less than out of state students.

    Tuition overall is great. You don't have to pay to get into any of the school supported teams. They also include some minor medical care at the school clinic in the tuition costs, along with lower prescription costs as well. The only downside is food and school supplies on campus are higher than the average student could afford to buy everyday.

    Always talk to your prof. if you need anything, whether it be help, rescheduling things, or just have questions about the course in general. It is totally worth it.

    If you love the outdoors, this is a great place for you. With a beautiful canyon just two minutes away from campus with great hikes, cheap outdoor gear to rent, and gorgeous scenery its a great chance to see the sites. Although it is a predominantly Mormon town, about half the students aren't LDS, so if you are you'll fit right in, if you aren't, no worries. They won't judge you.

Also, Logan is a total college town, so the entire community is involved with the school! Provides a sense of unity you can't find many other places.

    College can either be a great or miserable experience depending on your frame of mind. Make sure you pick a school that you fall in love with, not just a school that accepts you.

    Tuition costs are super low here at Utah State and their scholarship funding is above and beyond other schools. Majority of people have some sort of funding, or like me, extra funding.

    The teachers at Utah State are truly concerned about providing a high quality education to their students. They are also incredibly knowledgeable about their field of work and most that I have come in contact have Doctorate degrees. I have only attended the school for a short while, but I have been incredibly impressed with every teacher that I have had, and can honestly say that I think I've learned more in my few months here than I did in much of high school.

    Logan is absolutely beautiful. Utah State is settled at the base of Logan Canyon, and is surrounded by gorgeous Utah mountains. Campus is small and easy to navigate, as well as attractive, which I love because I enjoy taking pictures. It's also very easy to get involved here - Student government, arts, volunteer and service work, sports; you name it, it's here. Most things are incredibly easy to get into if you're looking to. I don't leave campus very often, because I don't feel the need to. There are plenty of places to hang out with friends, do homework, and whatever else you might want to do. However, if you do want to leave campus, Logan has great hiking, restaurants, shopping, and fun places to visit like Main Street (it's really historic and really cute!), the Willow Park Zoo, and, seasonally, corn mazes and haunted houses.

    Utah State gives some great academic scholarships that significantly lower tuition that is already a great, low price for a fantastic education. The money is worth it. In fact, sometimes I feel like I'm cheating the school because I'm paying so little and getting so much!
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply now! If you apply before the December 1st deadline, you automatically receive academic scholarships if you're eligible. I currently have half tuition because I applied early. Also, live on campus for at least your first year. There's a lot that you can get involved in with Housing and Residence Life, AND you're close to your classes. I could wake up five minutes before class any day of the week and still get to class on time - it's reassuring. Get involved and go to events, because they happen alllll the time and they're an absolute blast!
    Also, pay attention when anybody or anything says the words free Aggie Ice Cream, because they are said often, and they are beautiful. Aggie Ice Cream is like food for your soul. 26 flavors of goodness.

    I love the classes here! The professors really know their subject. My favorite is the professors have a passion for what they are teaching, they are excited to teach which makes their class more interesting. If you don't understand the material, some classes have supplementary instruction where you can go to get extra help. Also all teachers have office hours, which is really helpful if you want a even more help.

    I LOVE Utah State! The atmosphere here is just so friendly and welcoming. It is a fun college town in such a beautiful location. Logan has it all! You can go hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, cliff jumping, boating, sledding, and skiing. There is always something to do, whether it is going to dance parties, poetry and a beverage, country swing dancing, disco skate night, or intermural sport teams. My personal favorite is going to the school sport games. We have an awesome fan section and amazing cheers! Nothing is better than cheering in the Spectrum at a USU basketball game.

    Utah State is a wonderful school with a good faculty that is dedicated to helping you succeed and graduate. Of course the professors aren't perfect and some of them are better at teaching than others, but it is comforting to know that they are all normal people and most are very understanding. I haven't had a professor yet that hasn't been willing to help me understand course material if I was willing to talk to them outside of class in their office. Many intro level classes also have review sessions, recitation courses, and TA's that are in existence just for you as students to make sure you succeed. Granted a lot of how much you learn is based upon how much you are willing to try and how much effort you're willing to put into your education. Professors here won't force you to learn. If you don't want to learn than you don't have to, but you will be missing out on some incredible experiences if you do. Utah State is a research school and as such if you find degree that you find interesting and want to pursue, more than likely there is a professor that would be willing to give you hands on experience with research in said field.
    Am enjoying being here

    Because of the size of the campus and the way the local student housing is set up, Utah State is a very social environment. There are so many clubs and organizations on campus that it's impossible not to find something that you're not interested in and can't get involved it. The intro classes on campus aren't always that much fun, since they're all generals, but once you get past those they tend to get much more involved with what you want to study and some people even find that they enjoy school. Crazy huh?

    In state tuition at Utah State is incredible! It's very low compared to most other schools in the nation and the opportunities that you have once you get here are well worth that which you pay. Even if you are from out of state the tuition is obviously higher, but it's still a great rate. Plus you can always stay in Logan over the summer and apply for in state tuition for the next school year.
    Tips for prospective students

    Usually if you're thinking about going to college you're more than likely a senior in High School, so it would be pointless for me to tell you at this point to do your best in high school to get a good gpa or to get involved at your school. More than likely it's too late for that anyways. One thing that you do need to realize is that even though college is a very fun place to be, it's much different than high school. Professors here won't babysit you and make sure that you're getting the education that you need. They all have their own problems and lives to live too and could care less if you decide to try to learn something or not. My suggestion to you would be to learn to take responsibility of your life and get organized. Many professors will give you a schedule for the semester and won't tell you about upcoming assignments because they'll expect you to remember and to do it. That said, there are no late assignments accepted hardly ever. Of course if you can be sure to study hard for the ACT or respective SAT and get good grades in High School.

    Utah State is great for people who don't mind living in a suburban, small town, older town environment. However, there are still very modern and up to date places closer to campus. Most of the activities that you can do around Logan and Utah State involve doing something outside. The mountains are right behind the campus. If you like doing things outside you'll really enjoy Utah State. Logan can get quite cold during the winter time so make sure that you bundle up.
