There are not a lot of colleges that can offer an education as specialized to the individual as this school, and I'm saying this from a Pre-Med perspective!

I absolutely loved my experience at Westminster! I attended the college from out of state & Sugar House (where Westminster it located) and Salt Lake City is my new home. I have made my best friends here and have learned so much both academically and personally about myself. The school as a whole has given me an education & experiences of a lifetime

Westminster is a fantastic place to go to school. I've never been in a class with more than 25 people and every single one of my professors knows my name. They actually care about whether or not we succeed and make it a point to get to know what we're passionate about. I wouldn't change my decision to go here for any reason.

I didn't like attending Westminster. Classes were small and I liked that for the most part the instructors tried to get to know you. The ITIS staff however were all but useless.
Overall 1.5
Westminster is not what it used to be. I "bought" the hype surrounding this college. It did not live up to a single bit of the hype. Faculty and staff are indifferent and not helpful. The Dean is useless for help. Financial Aid was a joke. The START center is notorious for having you take classes you dont need. West failed me.
Overall 1.7
Total rip but a very good party school with great ski. My professors were generally burnouts spouting text directly from the book and calling it original. I wanted original. Advising conspired to get me to take more classes. I paid full tuition. I found out students after were getting discounts because the college owed lots and lots of money.
Overall 1.9
I thought it was a waste of money to go here. The ISIT department is a big disappointment. What a waste a resources.
Overall 2
Eh, if you like small classes and group work, it'll do. If you want a solid education and a healthy learning atmosphere and to have your education taken seriously, look elsewhere. Westminster is good for those that rock climb and don't care about their degree path.
