Such an amazing school that provides opportunities for students to get involved and make a difference their first day on campus. SUU is a school that is not only respected in throughout the state, but nationally and students will be able to benefit from their degree and their connections for the rest of their lives.

Best years of my life.

I love the small environment of SUU and Cedar City. It gives you an opportunity to actually get to know your professors and classmates, while still receiving a quality education. There are SO MANY EVENTS, their Student Leadership team works tirelessly to provide a good experience for the students and it really shows.

Small town backwoods school and attitude overall. Find a more reputable university to spend your time, money, and effort.

Worst university, they are a nightmare. Stay away if you can and go to a reputable University. Super dishonest and a horrible system across the board!

Worst campus I have stepped foot on. They will screw you every which way. There are thousands of universities so do yourself a favor and go to a different one.

Stay clear.

This campus sucks and the masters programs are old and outdated! Find a more reputable university that is up to date and has better professors. Such a waste of money and time!
Overall 1.3
If you ended up here, you should have done better in high school. Do yourself a favor, withdraw and go to trade school. SUU covers up sexual assaults to pretend campus is safer than it is. The rent is ridiculous and their experiential education is 4 semester guide on how to exaggerate about you and your 'project'.
Overall 1.7
SUU has been nothing but a pain in all fundamental aspects. I feel unsupported, especially by my academic advisor which is a problem. I have been grateful for times they've worked with me on things like scheduling, but every time I try anything, something goes wrong and I feel so alone. registration, scheduling, financing, meeting, etc. :(
