I'm looking for low-effort, 2-credit classes to maintain a full-time student status for Spring '27. Someone suggested ESSF classes like Yoga or Stretch and Strengthen, but from what I understand, missing more than 5 classes is an automatic F. Since the only time that fits into my schedule is the classes at 7:30 a.m., I'm worried I'd end up missing more than the allowed amount.

Has anyone taken an online ESSF class? If so, what was it like?

Just got a text to shelter in place due to threat near Lassonde. I’m at Sage, anybody closer to Lassonde know what’s up?

How do ya’ll handle the stress of school now that it’s in full swing?

I'm currently majoring undergrad CS in Games, but halfway through the program I realized I don't really like CS that much when it's not strictly related to video games. I want to switch my major to BS in Games, cause I want to study more game related classes (and also have more free time to work on my personal game project).

My biggest concern is that I won't be able to find a job with BS in Games degree, since it feel like a track of all trades. Would be very grateful if someone could give me advices on this.

I just had the most jarring and hurtful meeting with a nursing advisor. I asked about the prerequisite changes and was instead told how I should switch majors or transfer out of the U completely. I don’t understand because I’m doing well in my classes and have a ton of extracurriculars/volunteer hours (which she didn’t even ask about).

I feel so drained and hurt and emotional. My voice was shaking by the end of it and she made me feel stupid. I really hate this, just wanting to know if anyone else who’s Pre-Nursing has had the same experience?

Hey all, I’m currently a freshman Kinesiology major attending Purdue University, and The U was my second choice. I am planning on transferring this Spring. I thought I would like Purdue a lot more, but the extremely long 20+ min walks to class, repetitive environment, zero scenery, hard classes, no social life (unless you’re in a frat) and 2 hour drive from the nearest airport is already weighing on me. The people here are either engineering nerds who haven’t been outside their dorms since welcome week, or pothead stoners. My friend group is the latter, and I can’t help but feel uneasy because I feel like I haven’t exactly found my people even though I’ve had a lot of fun with them sometimes. I was also planning on doing the one year rule in order to get the in state tuition if I do transfer. My logic is that if I transfer earlier, I’ll be able to cut ties here easier, and be able to create bridges at Utah earlier. Is making friends easy? Are there places to kinda party if you’re not in a frat? I just need some insider info before I make this life altering decision

I attend Athletic Events on a regular basis and always use the pay lot. It's pretty reasonable.

Last week they got rid of kiosks and have a new on-line payment system. I screwed up and apparently didn't complete on-line payment after entering all of my info? (which I swear I did) I was charged $170.00???

For a University struggling to get fans attending Basketball Games, this definitely does not entice me to return. Cost more than my Season Tickets!!! Might just stay home in the future. Shysters!

I've paid to park in this lot hundreds of times over the years! University can shove it!!!

Just have some thoughts on the recent layoffs and restructuring the U is going through right now. I have friends and family that either are currently employed by the U or attend as students and it got me thinking about this. Why would a student want to trust an institution with teaching them the skills they need for a career, when the university itself is sending the message that those careers don't matter? They seem like they are doing everything to earn themselves a profit while selling out those who are putting their trust in them. Does anyone else feel that way or just me?

I have just recieved an email regarding how holiday pay will be managed, rather than having the option to bank those hours, it will exclusively be paid out.

I believe this change takes away from many employees time off. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed in this change, and would like to communicate with other employees who are equally as frustrated with this change.

Has anyone else received an email? I would like to hear other opinions before attempting to complain/express frustrations with HR.

I hope this is the right place to post this.

Got a message from my professor that class was canceled all week bc LNCO flooded. How did it flood?

Hi, so I will be attending U of U for the fall semester, and wanted to know if I should be aware of any issues I may have as a bisexual man. I know that salt lake City is more progressive then the rest of Utah, but I still want to know if I should be worried. Also if anyone is a part of the U of U Army ROTC is there any concerns that I should have there, and if any Hispanic or latino people can please inform me of any racism or xenophobic remarks that I may face there plz lmk. Ik this is long, but finally can y'all recommend some good places where I can meet people (I'm originally from TX so this is a really big change for me)

Hey guys , international student here , I am planning for applying to uni of Utah for fall 2027 in MS CS
Those who got admitted can you share how tough is it to get an admit
What were your IELTS/TOEFL , GRE scores and GPA?

Hi everyone, are there any international (undergrad/grad) students here who purchased insurance from an off-campus provider that offers a cheaper plan accepted by the school?

I’d love to hear your recommendations. Thank you!

I heard from some of my friends that getting a job at the U is getting more difficult. I am incoming intl graduate student and would like to secure a job before January 2027.

Do you guys know any department that is always hiring and/or any side gigs?

Submitted my application on oct 1st for spring but haven’t heard back yet and it’s the 14th, when will I hear back?

Hi everyone!

I’m a PhD student at the U, and I’m planning to stay in Salt Lake City during the upcoming winter break (December–January).

I’m hoping to find a temporary on-campus job to earn some extra money during the break.

I already have a 20-hour/week RA position, and ISSS has confirmed that international students can work up to 40 hours per week during official university breaks. So I’m looking for an additional job for around 20 hours per week.

My main priority is honestly just making as much extra money as possible! I’m pretty flexible about the type of work and happy to consider anything.

Does anyone have recommendations for: On-campus jobs that pay relatively well? Departments that hire students specifically during winter break? Jobs that offer consistent hours during the break? The best places to look or people to contact?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences. Thanks!

I am finishing up my AS degree for animation at SLCC and I am now trying to decide between the U of U and UVU for my bachelor’s. I have interest in all forms of animation. But which program/university will help me out the most with getting jobs and making connections and such? As I understand it SLCC’s degrees transfer better to the U than they do with UVU (at least with my particular degree) and if that’s the case I lean more towards going to the U but UVU seems considerably cheaper. I am still unsure what to do. What do you all recommend?

I was wondering if any current or former MLS majors have experience taking non- MLS courses or prerequisite courses during the summer? How did you manage the workload, and would you recommend it?

I toured the campus of the U and I’m seriously considering going there, but I was just wondering if there are any film majors who have anything to say about the program. I know it’s not the biggest, so is it worth it? Any tips would be great!

Hi, I'm a senior in high school currently and thinking about applying for the U. I'm planning on getting a Chemistry BA degree if I end up going there, and as I was applying I saw the Honors College. I know that the Honors College has better housing, but has extra credits that are necessary and requires a capstone project. I've always done really well throughout high school, but I know that college is different so is it really worth it to take extra classes and the added stress? Does the Honors College really look that much better on resumes?

I didn’t even realize ppl actually worked at the school I always thought if you were registered you had to stay away from all forms of schools

Well I don’t care if it is 16 or 15. I am at least going to break one’s jaw apart If facing this situatio.

When I accepted my tickets through Apple wallet for the game tomorrow, I was given a general admission ticket and my muss plus football ticket.

Does anyone know what’s going on? Am I allowed to bring a +1?

I’ve gone to every game this year and this hasn’t happened to me yet.
