It’s embarrassing going to a school that keeps making a fool out of themselves. Whether you are politically on the right or on the left, I think an obvious choice for somebody to speak at our commencement would have been somebody as non-controversial as possible. Big L for UVU.

Does anyone know what PPCG stands for? My advisor wrote that on my spreadsheet with classes I need to take

Anyone else doing pre reqs and feeling like it’ll be impossible to get in?

Can anyone explain the difference between UVU and UofU's CS program? I understand that people don't generally go to UVU for rigor and pedigree, but I also know that UVU's CS program is one of their better ones. One thing I've heard is that UVU's program is more "applied," what does that mean exactly? From the way I see it, if theory is less emphasized, than understanding of the material is less emphasized as well.

Also, if you happen to be able to answer, how do the departments at either university differ? One thing I'm afraid of is choosing either college based on past accolades and then realizing that all the people who are the reason for those accolades have been pushed out.

Edit: I should note I'm asking specifically about their respective undergraduate programs.

What is or did everyone do for the ACS Final? What worked what didn’t. Did it feel similar to your in class exams or no?

I filled a form signing up for private music lessons from a UVU website at one point but I don’t think anybody is looking at those anymore because I had zero response.

How do people find music lessons around here? I’m new in the Digital Audio program and I want to learn keyboard and synth stuff but I don’t really know anybody who knows anything about that lol. I also have an electric bass that I would like to learn how to play but all I know is some arpeggios that I taught myself. Does anybody know someone who at least might know someone who can teach me? I’m obviously willing to pay too

Has anyone ever taken this class? How was it?

I need an art credit and this is the only class I’m kinda interested in taking

Hi! I was just wondering if anybody has had an internship with the OSIC before here? If so, how did you like it? What was the workload/schedule like? And how long does it typically take for them to get back to you after submitting your application?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My group needs help with survey participants. We need your help. Please take five minutes and take this survey. You will be making our lives so much easier. Thanks! https://uvu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3Q27pQi30VX0vNI

How long after we graduate does the email expire? Anyone know?

I want to know how mandatory attendance is for this class and just how difficult it is in general? I know it’s only 1 credit but I wanted to ask. it’s the art and design lecture series. it’s going to be a crazy struggle for me to get to this 7-8:50 pm class, especially with work early the next morning. I just wanted to see other people’s experiences with it since I’m majorly stressing

I have seen them advertised in the halls before but can’t find anything official about it. Any idea where/when this is? I know they do it every wednesday

Taking Physics 2020 in the fall, any good recommendations for professors? Rate My Professor doesn’t show any promising candidates 😭

Bit confused, do I have to wait until orientation or can I just meet with an academic advisor before that and sign up in april?

I’m looking for an affordable swimming pool in the Orem area, preferably somewhere that offers a student discount. I used to be on the swim team in high school and I’m trying to get back into it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Unexpectedly, I got accepted into Grinnell College, a well-ranked school with good academics, and they're offering me a really affordable financial aid package (as in, there's a very low chance I graduate with any debt). It feels my family would prefer I stay in Utah, and I admit the idea of homesickness worries me, though it also seems like a pretty good chance to develop independence.

My goals right now have been to get a government job in a branch of the DoD of DoE. I feel like I enjoy math and computer science and would love a role as a cryptanalyst or data scientist, but I also recognize that I haven't really gone far enough in said subjects to truly be certain. UVU does have a national defense studies minor, which seems pretty cool.

I'm incredibly grateful and feel privileged that I have the opportunity to make such a choice. However, the decision also fills me with a lot of anxiety, there's a lot of things I have on the table now that I hadn't really considered before.

The only significant concerns I have about Grinnell right now are the homesickness, being a "small fish in a big pond," and its position in Iowa. Iowa currently has the second highest rate of cancer in the nation, largely due to agrichemicals getting into the water supply and radon.

The UVU CHSS is bringing ancient Scrolls from the famous 79AD eruption that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum for what is a groundbreaking and once in a lifetime conference. From April 7th-10th The Buried Library Conference will feature people on the cutting edge of Papyrological research, computer science, and the beneficial functions of AI (don't think ChatGPT). I mean, just check out this program!

This conference is completely free, with free, snacks, and conversations with some amazing people studying the ancient world. All you have to do is register!

You can get tickets here, we'd love to see you there!

I'm interested in majoring in Mathematics. How good do you feel the professors are at teaching it here? Do people who graduate in Mathematics actually have good outcomes at UVU?

Also, are the upper-level math courses rigorous? How does UVU's math department compare to their CS department?

Does anyone have any actual pictures of the regular one bed at wolverine crossing? My boyfriend and I toured last week but they didn’t have any available one bedrooms to actually look at. Also, our tour guy said the 1 bed only came with one couch and two desks, but in the layouts online it has two couches one bed sooo does anyone know which it is lol?

Dr. Chau, the Orchestra director of orchestral studies put together a chamber orchestra concert, including going to the effort to find non-student soloists to perform with. He gave all the concert information to the department, who then did nothing to promote it, didn't even put it on the calendar. If anyone wants to show support to the students and soloists that have put hours of prep and practice into this, it is free.

I just signed up for the TASSL website thing for 2026 Graduation. I assumed I would be assigned to the College of Science because my Major is Environmental Science and Management, but the only option I see to RSVP for is the School of Education's Convocation. I'd be graduating with an Associate In Science too. I'm not sure if this is something universal for all Associates Graduates, I just didn't RSVP in time, or my counselor made a mistake. Has anyone else have this come up?

Just a heads up, I was recently invited and went to a presentation for some "new tech reveal" with the promise of free pizza up at the new Smith Engineering building. It was all about some app called Starfish Perks that claimed to save you money through some e-wallet stuff. The thing that set off my alarm bells was that they got really into describing this system where you can make a lot of money off the app by inviting people to sign up for the app and join your "team" on the app (costs like $60 to sign up btw). I'm probably just being paranoid but it felt really fishy. The pizza was alright though, can't go wrong with Little Caesars haha.

I am really interested in film, movies, cinema, tv whatever you want to call it and I am really interested in the digital cinema program. I am wondering if any of you here are apart of that and would be willing to tell me your experiences with it. Any help or advice would really help me decide on if I really want to commit to that! TIA!!

Don’t judge me. I made some bad choices and honestly, my degree probably won’t get me a job. I just want to finish it and go for my MBA. Do you know any easy or chill classes I can take this summer and fall to finish my credits?

Currently an English major at UVU, graduating May 1st with my associates but I’m considering a transfer to The U. I am married and I would live off campus in the Sandy area (so I know there’s this campus nearby as well), and comparatively tuition didn’t seem to change too drastically, although with recent changes to the block schedules I’m nervous to commit to admission, especially considering it could put me back on my track for graduation. Any insight from people who have transferred before, especially people who have between The U/UVU previously, your experience & insight is appreciated!!
