Utah State University is a large, affordable, research-oriented school that offers over 200 majors and 鈥渙ne hell of an engineering program.鈥 The College of Education is 鈥渢op notch鈥 as well and there are strong programs in agriculture and business. 鈥淕eneral education courses absolutely suck to take鈥 and they 鈥渁re much too large.鈥 鈥淪tack 鈥榚m deep; teach 鈥榚m cheap,鈥 says a poetic Spanish major. Overall, though, 鈥渢he academic experience is superb.鈥 鈥淭he professors are saints as far as I鈥檓 concerned,鈥 declares a civil engineering major. 鈥淭hey are here because they love teaching and seeing their students succeed.鈥 鈥淚鈥檝e had some crummy professors, but only two or three out of 30,鈥 estimates an accounting major. 鈥淭he good far outweigh the bad.鈥 Administratively, 鈥渢he registrar鈥檚 office could be a little more organized鈥 and there are the typical big school frustrations but USU generally 鈥渞uns very smoothly.鈥 鈥淭he administration鈥檚 main focus is on the students,鈥 lauds a speech communication major, 鈥渁nd that is apparent from the amount of effort that they put toward student services and functions.鈥
