Beth in SW WA Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Ds will apply to UofU for engineering/computer science. Does anyone have thoughts regarding this school? We told him he needs to get the WUE scholarship since we aren't paying $21K for out-of-state tuition. (Or should we? Is it worth it?) Thanks in advance! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara in AZ Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm an alum of the U of U, but I can't tell you about the engineering school. I was musician. But I had a wonderful experience there. Salt Lake is a great city! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 U of U is a great school. I have quite a few friends and relatives that went there, or are going there. One is currently getting her engineering degree there. Outside of complaints about hard work (I'm sure you know engineering isn't easy) she loves the school.

DianeW88 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Great school! I graduated from their rival university (BYU), but I had lots of friends at the U, they all loved it there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo Ninja Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Do the math with WUE cost and without. What will it cost at 4 years of WUE tuition price? What will it cost if he pays out of state tuition for one year, then gets in-state resident status for tuition purposes and pays in-state tuition costs for the next 3 years? IIRC, he won't be able to get residency for tuition purposes if he does WUE. Is it cheaper in the long term this way? Does one way end up costing less than the other? What if he ends up being there for 5 years? Does the WUE cost end after 4 years, and he then needs to pay out of state tuition costs for the 5th year? Getting residency avoids that, should it happen. Of course there are assumptions made with either choice, but it is something to consider before committing to WUE (which is a good deal at many schools!).
