Testimonials

  • My experience at UVU has been wonderful. There are so many support systems in place for you in every single aspect of going to college. I felt like the staff and faculty really cared about me as a student and an individual, and I was able to get the valuable one on one time that I needed with my professors. And I loved how hands-on the classes were; I feel like I was able to actually hone my skills and not just learn the theory of it. I love UVU because it really feels like a home away from home. I love the environment of acceptance that is here at UVU, they make me feel comfortable to be myself. UVU really is a place for everybody.” Jayden ShipleyDigital Cinema Production ‘23
  • As an out-of-state student, I was drawn to UVU by all the incredible resources that are given to students. There are super affordable on-campus doctors that can help you get referrals for your specific needs. The gym here is huge, clean, safe, and free for students taking 10 or more credits. And UVU offers tons of free general and major-specific tutors, as well as free semester-long computer checkout, free career and internship mentoring, and free education accommodations tailored to your specific needs. UVU is more than just the group of buildings where I learn math and Spanish; UVU became home because I know they really care.” Bailey Sinquefield-ZitoIntegrated Studies- Event Management & Leadership Studies (Non Profit Organizations)
  • One of the things I love about UVU is the resources students can access to get involved with the career field they’re going into. There are so many engaged learning opportunities with internships and field work where students can get real-world experience. I feel like I’m actually preparing have a career rather than just learning from a textbook.” JD FrostPsychology ‘26
