This is an awsome school. If you are down for adventures and being close to the mountains, this is the school to go to. We are 30 minutes away from ski resorts and have a great sporting events

The schools is extremely underrated with excellent programs and lots of funding to do research and be involved on campus. The surrounding area has plenty of things to do, especially if you’re outdoorsy.

Amazing
Overall 4.9
Amazing school! You need a car if you want to do things off campus though. Also, the opportunities are unrivaled, you just have to look around. 10/10 campus, professors are usually pretty awesome, and as long as you are social, you can easily find friends. I would recommend to anybody and everybody I know!

Bad reviews

I got gang raped by a group of mormon people.
Overall 1.6
I've had better education at community college for half the price. Security and commuter services is outrageously terrible and a girl was murdered on their watch. The parking alone is bad enough to ruin any redeeming qualities of this school. It's over crowded, over priced, and every step is steeped in mind numbing bureaucracy. They don't care.
