The U-Night program is designed to give high school seniors an opportunity to be a University of Utah student for a day.
Through the U-Night Program, prospective students can meet
with an admissions counselor, tour the campus, attend an on-campus
event, spend a night in the Residence
Halls and be hosted by current University of Utah students.
Participants who attend will be provided with dinner, breakfast
and sleeping accommodations. Additionally, students
may have the opportunity to attend a university-level class
and meet with staff, faculty, and academic advisors.
What does the U-Night
program cost?
There
is a minimal charge of $10 to attend the U-Night Program.
This pays for meals, sleeping accommodations, event tickets,
and a University of Utah souvenir. Participants might also
want to bring spending money for buying extras (candy, gifts,
etc.).
