Our students love their computers. They really, really love their computers. But all work and no play makes for a burned out student. And, Utah has a lot to offer besides the best university for technical studies. In Utah the variety of adventures and opportunities to explore millions of unspoiled acres of diverse wilderness areas are endless, and at the end of all the rugged adventure we offer some great opportunities to unwind at eclectic restaurants, museums, shopping districts, and more.
It's true, Utah really does have the greatest snow on earth. Maybe it's the "lake effect," maybe it's our relatively dry high-desert climate, maybe it's something in the water. But, all around the world skiers and shredders alike claim that Utah's powder is the softest, fluffiest, most awesome snow on earth.
