Utah State University is one of the nation’s premier student-centered land-grant and space-grant universities. We foster the principle that academics come first; we cultivate diversity of thought and culture; and we serve the public through learning, discovery, and engagement.
Utah State University (USU) is a public land-grant university whose main campus is located in Logan, Utah.
It was established in 1888, after Anthon H. Lund introduced a bill for its creation. Originally known as the Agricultural College of Utah, its name was subsequently changed to Utah State Agricultural College, and in 1957 it became Utah State University. USU has 870 faculty, and over 23,000 students that were enrolled in autumn 2006. USU is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, and has been ranked as one of the best universities in the American West. USU has longstanding ties with the Department of Defense and NASA, and conducts extensive aerospace research. USU sends more experiments into space than any other university in the world, and has launched more student-run space experiments than any other university worldwide. USU is classified institutionally under the 2005 revision of the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education as RU/H: Research Universities (high research activity), awarding at least 50 doctoral degrees per year across at least 15 disciplines. It spends approximately $186 million annually for research.
Note: "Utah State University" is not "University of Utah".
As Utah's land-grant university, USU conducts world-class research into many agricultural and natural resource disciplines. USU contains seven academic colleges and 47 individual departments, and offers degrees in more than 200 majors.
Beyond its Logan campus, Utah State's Extension community provides academic resources and support for the state as a whole, including an excellent Continuing Education program. Created in 1907, Extension now includes USU Regional Campuses at Brigham City, Tooele, and the Uintah Basin, as well as USU Centers at Moab, Ogden, Price, and Salt Lake City. USU also operates Extension locations in each of Utah's 29 counties.

Question:
Utah State University?
Hey. I'm looking for a little bit of feedback from those who have attended/currently attending Utah State University in Logan, Utah. I have some family that lives in Logan and I am considering transferring to USU this fall.
Does anyone have anything they can share with me? What the campus is like? What are the classes/professors like? Student activities, etc? I like what I have seen of it, but I must admit that I haven't seen too much. Any feedback/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I went to USU for a year before I got married and moved to SLC. I have been to three Universities in Utah(Weber, Uof U and USU) and of all of them USU was the best. It is not a commuter school so everybody lives really close by campus. There are lots of student activities especially with the LDS institute. I loved it. Lots of cute girls and fun times. Professors are pretty good in the Civil Engineering department I couldn't tell you about other departments. Come be a fellow aggie and with any luck a "True Aggie"
