Everybody you meet is very kind and willing to help if you ask for it. The problems I ran into were actually asking for help, but once I did I found the answers to my questions. I loved all the activities that were available around campus and all the clubs that you could join at anytime. Everyone wanted to get involved and the clubs were open to anyone joining them. I went to the ethnic club full of Native Americans and Latinos, I was the only white girl there, but they all just let me join in and feel welcomed as anyone else. The best way for people to really enjoy their experience at USU is to get involved in student life and visit your adviser often to discuss the path you wish to take.
