 " UVU is a decent school, is also pretty affordable and in a pretty good area. Professors seem to be very understanding and approachable, which makes it easier to handle any challenges that come up. Overall, I appreciate the effort the university puts into supporting its students. "

 " Great university, very fun vibe and overall good experience. I attended a community college before going here and it felt very similar but better in the obvious ways. I would definitely recommend going here, especially since it is going very fast and building a good reputation. "

 " it's an okay university. You have to deal with a lot of religious students, that will often judge you for silly things. Theres a lot of mingling with the students at BYU, who will always act like they are better than you if you don't make friends with them. I was at the university for a short amount of time and did a majority of the classes remotely and through a third party flight school to get my commercial pilot's license. The online classes are really simple and nice. "

 " I’ve really enjoyed attending this University and I’ve felt very at home and welcomed here. It is based in Utah County which can be sort of a bubble when it comes to the culture, but UVU has kind of felt like an escape from that bubble and has been a very safe place to be in. I’ve also felt that the area is a very safe area and there isn’t much danger in the area either. I’ve found that there are a lot of activities held by the student body association, granted I haven’t attended many since I’m more of an Introverted person, but the people I’ve talked to who go to these events have loved them and love what they offer. I’ve also found that their extracurricular activities are very fun and I’ve enjoyed dancing at UVU as well since I am a ballroom dancer. I’d say overall 9/10 school, definitely would recommend the school to anyone looking for a good, cheap, and valuable education. "

 " I would recommend UVU as a whole. The issues that I had were involving a specific professor ignoring students in an online class. When complained about it, almost nothing got done. I liked that they had advanced standing, that they did this program hybrid so I could work the days I didn’t have class. "
