The University of Utah is nestled in the Wasatch foothills, overlooking Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake, and the Great Basin’s west desert. Behind the U, in the Wasatch Mountains, lies some of the world’s best biking and hiking trails, rock climbs, and ski and snowboard terrain. No fewer than SEVEN mountain resorts are a mere 40 minutes from campus. The fact that they receive upwards of 500 inches of the driest snow on Earth is why Utah powder is widely known as “the greatest snow on Earth.”
Combine this location with the first-rate education you’ll get at the University of Utah and you have the makings of a transformative experience. Among the top public research universities in the country–with highly ranked business, law, medical, computer science and engineering schools (as well as our internationally acclaimed dance and music programs), the U offers students an unparalleled education.
