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.).
