salt lake city

A N D T H E U N I V E R S I T Y O F U TA H The University of Utah campus is perched above the thriving Salt Lake City metropolitan area. Salt Lake City has evolved from a pioneer settlement to a vibrant metropolis that boasts an excellent business climate, incredible natural beauty, world-class arts and entertainment opportunities, and a standard of living that can’t be beat anywhere in the United States.

Nine distinct ski & snowboard resorts are nestled in the mountains above Salt Lake City, all within an hour’s drive of campus. The U is within a half-day’s drive of five stunning national parks.

As the cultural hub of the Intermountain West, Salt Lake City pulses with a diverse music scene and dynamic nightlife throughout the year, along with theater, dance, and opera. Salt Lake City is also home to 14 award-winning microbreweries, numerous local coffee roasters, many top-tier food markets, and dozens of first-rate restaurants. Ranging from casual to haute, from inexpensive to high-end, the cuisine of Utah is both the cuisine of the world and world-class.

The annual Sundance Film Festival, arguably the most important festival of its kind, is held each January in and around Salt Lake City. Professional sports teams fill area stadiums and arenas for basketball, soccer, baseball, and hockey throughout the year.

I'm thankful to have had an advisor who was able to act as a mentor during my time at the U. Not only did they make themself available when I'd reach out about scholarships, classes, and other school stuff, but they'd go out of their way to check in on how I was doing. As a Latino, first generation student with DACA, it was difficult to navigate through college but thanks to the Advising department I had the support and guidance that made graduating possible.
