Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

I really enjoyed the class structure, the professors were amazing and really wanted to make sure of the students success.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

Overall my undergraduate experience was fine. I met only one person I still speak to. Unfortunately it is very cliquey because students come from high schools around Wyoming and are only stay friends with those they came to college with.

Alumni

I attended UW for my undergraduate and just received my bachelor's in psychology. It was incredibly easy to apply, enroll, and register in classes.

Current Student

Overall, it's been a great college experience so far. However, I have had many difficulties with unnecessary problems, such as strict/outdated guidelines that do not connect with the majority.

Current Student

I had a decent experience, but it was evident that the response to the COVID pandemic was lackluster at best.
