Salt Lake City Life

The University of Utah is located just east of Salt Lake City. There are several activities, restaurants, attractions and more that add a lot of variety to the campus life. With TRAX, public transportation system downtown and throughout the valley, it makes it very accessible and easy to get to. The atmosphere is very welcoming and encouraging for new things. It appeals to various groups and has something for everyone. The Gateway mall has several shops and businesses where you can do all your shopping, then grab a bite to eat before settling down to watch a movie at the theater or visit other planets at Clark's Planetarium.

Useful If You Don't Have a Laptop of Your Own

I rarely ever use the computer labs.They are convenient though, if you are experiencing difficulty with your own laptop or printer, or need to quickly check something out.
