Campus Housing at University of Utah

F

Terrible Staff. Avoid at all cost.

Don't expect the housing staff to be there to help students. They are rude, incompetent, and flat out dumb. (Except the student receptionists, they feel our pain too) I went in to try and make a housing payment a little more manageable for my financially challenged family (April housing payment is almost $1,000. Ridiculous. Find a much cooler house off campus for way cheaper.) Anyway, they suggested I just try and get out of my contract since there was only 3 weeks left, leaving out the fact there is a FOUR HUNDRED DOLLAR termination fee. So after going in to get help, my bill jumped to $1,400 dollars. Went in to sort it out and they blamed me, were rude and helpful. After I thought it was all sorted out and paid for my housing, they canceled my meal plan and i was unable to get back into my dorms. Took two days of living off of saltine crackers before they got their act together.

In short:

DO NOT DO THE DORMS. Not worth it at all. Rent a house for more freedom, no bad staff, and CHEAP
