Visiting Friends
I am currently enrolled to begin classes in the fall but have been to the university many times to visit my best friends and my mom who works there. I have stayed at the dorms many times, almost on a weekly basis at some times this year, as well in addition to listening my friends dish on every detail.
It's pretty expensive and a meal plan is a requirement (only mandatory if you're living at the dorms, but can get one otherwise). The food at the heritage center is awful. People who do not have meal plan must pay $7 per entry, and it's really not worth it. It's all you can eat, but with little variety. Not too many health options, and the few healthy choices they have, like wraps, are often soggy, bland, and not fresh.
Not everybody is friendly. The guys are VERY aggressive or too forward, loud and obnoxious. They don't have to be drunk to be acting this way, it can occur while you walk to your dorm building. One of the friends I had got into a fight in the dorm room with another girl. This kind of thing isn't uncommon.
There is a shuttle to take you to where all the classes are; it's a pretty long walk, even longer in Utah weather.
These are the biggest negatives I can come up with, it's really not too bad if you can deal with this stuff. I'm applying for housing now and the process could be a lot easier, but it's not the worst.
