Living In Utah
The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City, the capitol of Utah. The city provides metropolitan activities such as performing arts, sports, shopping and a mix of restaurants and cafés. The Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains provides a stunning backdrop all year and endless opportunities for biking, hiking, climbing and world class skiing all within minutes from the University of Utah campus. In addition to the five national parks, seven national monuments, and six national forests in the state of Utah, Salt Lake City is centrally located between the Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon.
