鈥淚 love SUU,鈥 says one student, whose bubbly enthusiasm is typical among her classmates. 鈥淢y professors are great. . . . One time I was struggling to write a paper for English, so I called my professor鈥檚 house, and he met up with me at the university library and helped me work on my paper. . . . I [also] dream of being a basketball coach . . . and the head basketball coach lets me . . . watch practice and . . . even got me a volunteer job at a local middle school . . . coach[ing] a 7th and 8th grade team.鈥 We鈥檙e told that professors demonstrate 鈥減assion for the subjects they teach, but are more concerned about the student and his or her potential than the subject and thus will do everything possible to ensure鈥 student success. Administrators are also 鈥渉elpful鈥 and 鈥渒now you and why you are here.鈥 Strong programs include 鈥渢heater, business, and nursing鈥; the first boasts strong ties with the annual 4-month-long Utah Shakespearean Festival, and the last is simply no piece of cake. School 鈥渨as a whole lot of fun during my nursing prerequisites,鈥 says one student, 鈥渁nd a whole lot of work now that I鈥檓 in the program.鈥 Retention is a problem in the student body at large---less than a third of all students graduate in 6 years.
