1 All five academic interests have strong, nationally-ranked programs with excellent career outcomes (89-95% placement rates)
2 Exceptional school spirit with Division I athletics, 40,000+ football crowds, and legendary MUSS student section
3 Perfect location combining urban Salt Lake City amenities with unmatched outdoor recreation (222 sunny days, mountains, 7 ski resorts within 45 minutes)
4 Division I dance team with explicit walk-on tryout opportunities - highly visible, nationally competitive team
5 Outstanding internship opportunities through business school (75% participation) in growing Salt Lake economy with 1,000+ employer partnerships
6 Beautiful 1,534-acre campus with mountain backdrop, consistently rated among most beautiful campuses nationally

1 Class sizes don't meet 'smaller classes' preference - 17:1 ratio with introductory classes of 30-300 students, though upper-division improves to 15-25
2 Teacher support may be limited initially at research university with some TA instruction - student must be proactive about office hours and academic support services
3 25-30% commuter population means some weekend campus exodus, though football Saturdays and activities keep campus engaged
4 LDS cultural influence (35-40% students, dry campus) creates different social dynamic - less traditional party culture than typical state schools
5 69% six-year graduation rate is lower than ideal, suggesting potential support gaps or student transfer patterns
6 Out-of-state tuition of $33,512 is significant financial consideration if not Utah resident
