School Description
Provided by University of Wyoming-LaramieThe University of Wyoming aspires to be one of the nation’s finest public land-grant research universities, dedicated to serving as a statewide resource for accessible and affordable higher education of the highest quality, rigorous scholarship, technology transfer, economic and community development, and responsible stewardship of our cultural, historical, and natural resources.
The University of Wyoming is the state's only provider of baccalaureate and graduate education, research, and outreach services.
UW combines major-university benefits and small-school advantages, with more than 180 programs of study, an outstanding faculty, and world-class research facilities all set against the idyllic backdrop of southeastern Wyoming's rugged mountains and high plains.
The main campus is located in Laramie, approximately two hours north of Denver. The university also maintains the UW/Casper College Center, nine outreach education centers across Wyoming, and Cooperative Extension Service centers in each of the state's 23 counties and on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
UW students are encouraged to become active members of the campus community and develop their full potential. Superior academic programs, combined with plentiful opportunities for a wide range of cultural activities and outdoor recreation, provide a challenging, healthy, enjoyable lifestyle on campus.
When students aren’t in class or studying, they can participate in university clubs and attend outstanding cultural programs — including films, concerts, theater performances, comedy acts, and planetarium shows. Or they can head for the outdoors and fantastic recreational activities in the Snowy Range and Medicine Bow Mountains — including skiing and snowboarding, hiking, camping, backpacking, bicycling, fly-fishing, and rock climbing.
With the abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities at students’ doorsteps, it’s easy to understand why Laramie, home of UW, was recently voted one of America’s top 40 college towns by Outside magazine.

Question: How much does the University of Wyoming cost?Y'know, dorm expenses, class expenses, etc. I'm thinking about going there for a double major, music ed and music performance.16 months ago
Best AnswerGo to collegeboard.com and look it up on their college finder. It will tell the Cost of Attendence, which is the average tuition, room and board, books and fees, transportation of students there. |
Question: I am really scared ..My son is going to be travelling to the snowy USA, university of Wyoming ..?All his life has been spent here in the desert Middle east ,,He had never seen a snow or live through the hardship of cold weather ,,He is only 20 years ,very good ,warm hearted and loving..I am scared even to tell him I'm scared,so he would'nt give up some of his dream to continue his education ..He told me once he is allergic to cold weather ..Now he will be travelling thousands of miles away from his warm loving of his family..Any tips to cool me down would be very much appreciated..Thanx33 months ago
Best AnswerHe'll be fine - people adjust very quickly to different climates. Snowy weather is very beautiful and he'll adjust to the cold. It will be good for him to see something very different than he is used to. And Wyoming is rural and has very little crime. Besides, if he finds he really hates the cold, he can arrange to transfer to another school in the US in a warmer climate. |
