Response
I personally do not feel i would attend Utah State University. For how far it is, i would want a little bit better
level of education. After only receiving a B- for its level of academics, i would choose not to attend.
Because i want my money to be going into a school that when i get a degree from there, it'll look really
good knowing that thats the school where i got my degree from. Another reason is that there wouldnt be
that much for me to do outside of the school. I am not much of an outdoor sports kind of guy. Im not a big
fan of snowboarding and skiing and all those types of sports that i would be able to do in Utah. So i feel i
would get bored pretty quickly. Another reason why i wouldnt want to go to Utah State is because it is
very mormon heavy. After reading reviews of the school, i would hate it there because i wouldnt people
trying to convert me over to their religion because im a christian. Even though Utah state is a great price,
its not worth it. I wouldnt get everything out of it that i would want. So for those reasons, i would not
attend Utah State University.
