Day in the Life at the University of Utah

  • Hello!
    I'm a sophomore at the University of Utah majoring in chemistry, I'm also currently in the honors college, and this is a (reasonably eventful) day in the life video.
    I'm an out-of-state student and I live in the Marriott Honors Community dorms on campus. I'm also currently involved in research in the atmospheric sciences department. This is actually my first year physically on campus (I did last year totally online).
    If you have any questions about anything at the U, I'd be happy to try and answer them! I tried to list the things I'm involved in because I would know the most about those things.
    I've wanted to make a day in the life video for the LONGEST time and figured I'd wait until college to do it because those are the ones I've watched the most. They were also super helpful to me when making my college decisions and I wanted to make a contribution to the college-day-in-the-life "community."
    To the great plethora of viewers I'm sure to have (and the even greater plethora to read the description) I truly hope you enjoy this video :)

    This is Lynn Penn writing, remember me from Drexel. I loved your video, especially the views showing the area surrounding the university. So glad you are taking differential equations. I think his subject encourages mental discipline. Regarding the rollers, squash players always roll their leg muscles out at the end of the day - although with a hard foam roller of about 8-inch diameter. This helps prevent injury if one is diligent about it. I retired from teaching chemistry and now live in New Orleans, Louisiana. We have a dog named Buddy (not very original), who is a Golden Doodle. He is learning fast and does not shed. Continue to enjoy your college career ; work hard!

      Thank you! Haha that's very perceptive of you to notice, it's actually very convenient to travel around campus on wheels (bike, skateboard, scooter, etc.), there are even designated bike lanes so you can ride fast and not worry about navigating around walkers. I do sometimes use my bike because it's a lot faster, but most of the time I prefer to walk just because I'm paranoid the unlocked pieces of my bike will get taken if I leave it out 😅. The U is generally a safe place to leave your bike out, I know several people who do and have never had issues, I just try to be overly cautious!

      I would say living off campus can definitely be cheaper than living on campus if you don't have a housing scholarship (which I'm assuming graduate students don't typically get). Finding a good, inexpensive place off campus is the tricky part and can take some patience. Best of luck in your searches!

    Hey, Thanks for sharing your day at the University of Utah. I have a few questions to ask. It would be beneficial if you answer them because I am planning for the university.
    1. Is the food free or do we need to buy it.
    2. Do we need to buy the books for semester subjects or do we get them for free?
    3. Did you buy the bicycle or did the university provide them?
    4. Can we go out of the university anytime or do we need to take permission?
    5. Is it compulsory to stay with roommates, I mean can we get separate room?

    • @nancysohlberg8150
      @nancysohlberg8150  2 года назад

      Hey Kavya,
      1. The food is not free. You have to either buy it directly when you get it, or you have to buy a meal plan that will allow you to get a certain number of meals throughout the week or semester. This link www.housing.utah.edu/dining/ will show you the different meal plans you can get.
      2.You also have to buy the textbooks for your classes. The university has an online textbook system where it will immediately enroll you for the online textbooks you need for your classes that semester, which can be nice because you don't have to remember to get them. The online textbooks they enroll you for are also much cheaper than buying physical books yourself, and they will automatically charge you for them with your tuition. If you want, you can "opt out" and just buy your own textbooks but most people just stick with the automatic ones.
      3. I bought the bike. The university doesn't provide free bikes for students. You can presumably rent a bike by the day from the life center but they have been out of stock recently and I don't know when they will have them again. But you would still have to pay for them per day.
      4. You can leave the university campus at any time, no need to ask for permission!
      5. If you live on campus and get housing through the university, there are options to get your own room but they can be hard to get as they are very competitive. As you saw in the video, I had my own room but shared a common area and bathroom. If you do get your own room, you will almost always be at least sharing a bathroom. They have maybe a handful of rooms accross the whole campus where you can get your own room and bathroom, so it's very unlikely to get one.
      Hope that helps!

    I have been thinking of admitting into the Computer Engineering program at the University of utah for a while now.
    I'm just hesitant as an international student. How are they treated at the university? I heard a lot of scary stories regarding that stuff at US universities.
    And how is the studying experience overall?
    Are there studying groups,materials, and online resources available to help if im unable to understand something?
    And lastly, how much a month do I need to survive in Utah?

      I myself am not an international student so I can't speak much on their experiences at the U but there does appear to be a large group of international students here which would suggest to me there are help resources available. The few international students I have spoken with have been graduate students and I suspect their experiences are pretty different from that of an undergraduate, but they've said good things. As far as the cost of living in Utah, that is going to vary greatly based on what scholarships/aid you get from the university and also what kind of a life you are looking to live.

    Been looking into Univeristy of Utah (highschool junior), what could you say about the type of people there and/or the overall vibe?

    • @nancysohlberg8150
      @nancysohlberg8150  Год назад

      There's definitely a big outdoor-recreation scene here, which I guess is not super surprising, but coming from Philadelphia the shift was pretty dramatic for me. My experience has been that almost everyone you meet here has spent a great deal of their life doing some form of outdoor recreation if not several different forms (skiing/snowboarding probably the most common one, but there's also a lot of climbing, mtb, hiking, etc.). These sorts of activities are a common interest for so many students and crop up in conversation with a regularity that I have never experienced before. I've found myself really enjoying that aspect of this school. That's really the one overarching vibe I can pin point. Outside of that, it is a state school with over 20,000 students so there are more types of folks than you could ever meet. Your interests (academic and nonacademic) will bring you together with more specific groups and the nice thing about the size of the school is that even if your interests are pretty niche there will almost certainly be other people here who share them. A more general example I can offer would be the honors college. I'm taking one of their classes this semester and so many of the students in the class have a true love for learning, so there's this excited flurry of questions and eagerness to share research that exists and is such a joy to be a part of. Hopefully that's somewhat helpful to you in your college search!

      As of right now, I would say at least 50% of people wear them in class (for the classes I'm in anyway), but outside of class very few people still wear masks. When cases were high at the beginning of the semester most people did though, so if the next variant were to make its way over here I think more people will, at least while cases are high. Hopefully that's helpful!

    Is the dining hall food only available for undergrad students who live in the dorms? Can a grad student living off campus eat here if we pay the fee?

    • @nancysohlberg8150
      @nancysohlberg8150  Год назад +1

      Anyone can eat in the dining halls, there's a desk where you pay before you enter (where I scanned my ID in the video). Only students living in the dorms have access to full meal plans (up to 21 meals a week) but there are commuter meal plans that anyone can purchase that have options up to 7 meals a week. Meal plans make eating at the dining hall easier because you can just scan your ID upon entering. Paying using a credit card is doable but it takes some time and is a bit annoying. The Union food court will likely be a more satisfactory non-meal-plan option if you want to purchase meals on campus.

  • @carinjordan5621
    @carinjordan5621 Год назад

    Wonderful video but where are all the people? The dining hall, the classroom, the campus in general. It just didn't look busy or bustling at all. It honestly looked kind of lonely. Is this typical or was it an unusual time on campus? My son is accepted but not yet 100% committed. We are from the East Coast and haven't visited in person yet.

    • @nancysohlberg8150
      @nancysohlberg8150  Год назад +1

      Thank you and great question! The lack of bustle in this video is both a window into my personality and the fact that it was a Friday.
      The dining hall was empty at breakfast because it was so early in the morning. After 8:30am it gets quite populated, and you'll notice I didn't have lunch or dinner in the dining hall because it gets pretty packed during those times which I shy away from. The first class I attended was empty for a similar reason; it's an 8:30am class so if there's not an in-class exam, most students opt to sleep in and just watch the recorded lecture at a later time (something the pandemic has made possible for better or for worse). The next class I chose to watch the lecture live through zoom, but had I attended the class in-person you would have seen a very lively lecture hall packed with 300 other students (which again, I shy away from). The majority of the footage you see where I'm walking around campus is either in the early morning (very few people out and about) or in the afternoon, and campus is always quiet on Friday afternoons. So in summary, the lack of crowds in this video is not an accurate depiction of the general atmosphere on campus!
      I will also say, I'm from the East Coast as well and actually never visited in person. In fact, I did my entire Freshman year virtually from my home in PA; the first time I was on campus was to move into the dorms my sophomore year! And I absolutely love it here. Hope this lengthy response is helpful, and thanks again for your comment!

    Hey Nancy, I just wanted to ask whether the University of Utah is worth the money and second, how is the faculty and quality of education. I am an international student and is looking forward to apply here in college of engineering

    • @nancysohlberg8150
      @nancysohlberg8150  Год назад +1

      College is a major investment for most people and whether or not it is worth the money depends heavily on the person and their unique situation. The faculty and quality of education here are very good from my experience, but I haven't taken many courses through the college of engineering. I will say that I've found the textbook to be a more satisfactory learning tool than the lecture for most of the pure math courses I've taken (with one notable exception which happens to be the DE class in this video) but such a preference can also vary depending on the person. The university is so big that there's fantastic faculty doing cool research in every department, so outside of courses there also exists tons of opportunities to do research which is what makes the quality of education at this university extremely good for sufficiently motivated students in my opinion.

      I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for your support! The main thing that led me to start looking into the U has to be the location. The proximity of the campus to outdoor recreation is unmatched (I'm from Philadelphia so the landscape just blows me away everyday). Once I got interested, I saw that the U would also provide great academic opportunity for myself as it is a large state school, a research university, and is located within a state that has a tradition of valuing education. Best of luck with your grad school decisions!

I will say, it will not be as large as it is at school like USC where 20% of the student body is Asian, but as an Asian-American myself I have never felt singled out as a result of my ethnicity. As for freshman dorms, Kahlert Village is brand new with its own dining hall and is located in the center of campus, so if I was a freshman that would be the dorm I would go for :) Hope this helps!

If you plan on living on campus I would highly recommend getting a meal plan if you are able just because it's extremely convenient and can save a lot of time which is so valuable. Also, most of the housing options require residents to have a meal plan anyway.

    • @nancysohlberg8150
      @nancysohlberg8150  Год назад

      Hey Emma, to answer your questions: I would say most students here are not LDS; however, there is still a substantial number of LDS students attending the U. Every class I've taken I've become aware that some of my classmates were LDS, but in my experience if you're not LDS the religion has very little impact on your life. Also, I get the impression that a lot of the religious students here are a bit more chill about it than in other areas of Utah if that makes sense. Certainly the vibe of the school is not conservative. I'm sure you could find folks that are, but that will happen at almost any large university. There are lgbtq resources! The lgbt resource center holds events quite often, and ones that people would actually want to go to like climbing nights at the climbing wall here on campus. The dorms vary from person to person. It was the first year of covid when I was a freshman, so I never experiences freshman housing and have heard mixed reviews. I think the freshman housing is very standard of a state college and your level of enjoyment is gonna come from how well you get on with your roommate(s) which is unfortunately really hard to predict. I will say if you plan to join the honors college the honors housing is extremely satisfactory. I really enjoyed my time in the dorms sophomore year (as seen in the video). The biggest downside to the dorms is the lack of them. Spots fill up insanely fast and parking is scarce. There is intense construction to expand both housing and parking happening right now though, so it does look like those things should improve. With such a big school overall vibes are hard to pin down, but I've mentioned before that outdoor recreation is a common theme here. Hope this helps with your decision!

This page: www.housing.utah.edu/housing-options/undergraduate-housing/ has all the housing options if you want a closer look.

      From what I've seen there are TONS of opportunities for student employment on campus! I think essentially everyone I know is employed on campus in some way. I myself work in a research group and I know several other people who do as well. The university also has several research institutes and labs that are a part of the campus, and a good many people work at those. The university also has a major hospital that a lot of students work at. For non-academic jobs, I know students who find work through our sports facilities: front desk, referee, lifeguard, etc. One can also get a job through housing and residential (if you're an RA you can get free housing). There are of course also jobs offered to students through each individual department. For chemistry, I know one can work in the stock room or as a TA. I also know the business school offers jobs to students that can also function as part of their degree! There are probably more, but these are what I can think of!
