The University of Utah (reviews)

Majored in political science at the University of Uta. The university is well eqquiped with relevant resources and other academic materials. It has several degrees for both the undergraduates and graduates. We had very knowledgeable professors in our department. Some of the professors are very great political scientists and I was lucky to have been taught by the best

Being a student at the U is a great experience as you are surrounded by mostly laid-back, open-minded peers and staff. While there are multiple world-class programs, others require you to apply yourself to the fullest extent to really get what you want out of them. Like most universities, you’ll have to put in the effort to succeed, but it is quite possible to just “float by” here and end up with a degree that feels unrewarding.

What an incredible opportunity it is to attend an international school. Branched off from a school in the United States, based in South Korea, there are all kinds of people from all kinds of places who attend. Not a day goes by where I don’t learn something new about someone else’s culture, and that is something that I cherish here. Likewise, the study styles from each background are something that I’ve come to learn, to best work with my fellow students. Even the professors are from all over the world, giving the experience to learn from all different teaching styles, in all different majors. The only downside to the school – seeing that the main campus is on the other side of the world – is communication between the two. Because the main campus tends to run most of the decision making for the Asia campus, it is sometimes difficult to get in contact with them or help them understand the vast differences between going to school here, versus going to school in the United States. Even so, I’d recommend it to anyone who asks, the staff and the experience here are more than worth it.

The university provides very little help when it comes to helping out international students. It can do a much better job in that area. Apart from that, university in terms of academics is very good.
