r/UVU

Hey everyone! I have about 15 minutes to get from the liberal arts building to the smith engineering building. Is that enough time to walk there? If so, what’s the best route?

Has anyone figured out how to mess with the ac at the green/will they let us mines set at 74 and I can’t sleep without a tower fan in my face

Hey all! I was just thinking about my time at UVU hahah and figured I'd post in subreddit to see if anyone has any questions about my time there or how life has been post grad. I'm an anomaly amongst your UVU student demographic in that I'm not LDS, I'm not from Utah, and I came as out of state student. I graduated in 2019, right before the pandemic hit. Ask away!

It's the only free one so I know there's gonna be some competition but I'd rather do that than take the bus

I've been going here for a year, but I haven't really got around campus that much. I usually just went to class and went home. I feel like at the other universities I've been able to find spots and perks that were kind of underground in a way and I'm wondering what other people think.

What I've enjoyed so far:

- Free gym membership and showers

- 12 pounds of free food every week at the food pantry

- I feel like I enjoy study spots a lot more than I did at BYU

Has anyone taken this class with Jonathan Anderson? Specifically online. How did it go? I am not good at math at all and this will be my first time taking it since sophomore year of high school.

There used to be one, but I've lost the invite.

how am i supposed to get to work 🥀
only just found out UTA doesn’t run on sundays. worst case scenario i walk or pay for an uber. but does anyone know of anything else?
more specifically, has anyone had any experience with lime scooters? are they distributed around here? when? i might be cooked

Does anyone know if the power at the green is back and working yet? It went out yesterday for all the new uvu students moving in.

Is anyone here in the biotechnology B.S. program? If so, how bad is it? I don’t just mean how hard the classes are, I wanna l know how bad your work-life balance was. I live on my own and work 30+ hours a week during the school year, so how smart do I need to be to make it work?

Hello everyone

I wanted to ask a question regarding admissions. I am in the process of transferring after a little over a year of not attending my previous institution. I had a lot of health problems that ended up affecting my GPA negatively that I didn't get support for while at my former university and that's why I've been wanting to switch. I wanted to ask, would a lower GPA affect my application, and if so would it help to address my medical history with the admissions office?

I would really appreciate the help, thanks in advance!

For clarification, I have been treated for all the medical issues I had, and if I were to address my medical history, I would also address how it wouldn't be an issue anymore

not sure if this a major workload, Im subpar part time working only weekends, and will be doing school part time with only biology 1610 and anatomy, is doing both these classes achievable ?

...just remember to take care of yourselves. PTSD is no joke.

And please know that you're not alone in still struggling. I was just talking to my therapist today about how my body still clenches up when I even start to think about what happened, and I'm still physically incapable of talking about it (my throat starts closing up). I had a full panic attack once after a balloon popped and sounded too much like a gunshot.

Take care of yourselves. Maybe also avoid the internet so you don't accidentally stumble across the video, since I'm sure they will be circulating again soon.

I really hope UVU focuses on us and our experience and resilience more than the person who died. Living with this trauma is a nightmare.

Does anyone know of any apartments or other housing in Orem that offer semester-long leases or month-to-month rent?
I’m going to UVU and don’t really want to sign a full 12-month lease if I don’t have to. Preferably somewhere relatively close to campus, but I’m open to anything in the Orem area.
If anyone knows of any places or has recommendations, let me know. Thanks!

I need a three upper-division electives to finish my degree requirements, and they can pretty much be any 3000+ level classes.

They need to be 3-credit classes and can’t have any course prerequisites other than something general like University Advanced Standing.

What are some of the easiest/lowest workload upper-division classes you guys have taken at UVU?

Mostly looking for classes that are straightforward and not super time-consuming. Professor recommendations would also be appreciated.

Thanks!
