About Salt Lake City
Downtown Salt Lake City--the cultural, commercial and professional center of the Intermountain West--is only minutes from the campus and is easily accessible by public transportation. For its size (a metropolitan population of around 182,000), the city offers unparalleled cultural opportunities such as symphony, ballet, theatre, modern dance, and opera. Visiting performers are also regularly featured at the University's Huntsman Center and the city's Energy Solutions Arena. In addition to varsity sports, major league soccer, arena football and professional baseball, hockey, and basketball teams are located in Salt Lake City. Opportunities for internships and professional work experience are enhanced by the proximity of the campus to this growing metropolitan area.
Recreational activities, both on and off campus, are an excellent compliment to academic requirements. The University has facilities for most sports, including squash, indoor running, swimming, and golf. Utah's mild four-season climate and spectacular natural beauty offer abundant opportunities for hiking, mountain climbing, boating, and fishing.
Winter recreation is highlighted by some of the best snow and powder skiing in the world with major ski resorts only 45 minutes from campus. There are five national parks in Utah as well as many other recreation areas within easy driving distance of campus.
