Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
be more open mind, and have more european students, particulary in architecture studios, I think they have another cultural background, and they learn from a real culture, not like american students.

Final comments
well, this city has something important to know, in summer is super hot, but, really hot. In winter.....super cold, you must bring your best jacket to be there warm.
Also My view is, Salt Lake City has to differents "sub-cultures", one is under LDS"s influence wich isn't good at all, and the other ones y the ecologic one, and people who loves go camping, healthy life and get fun, even on sundays!!!!!.

do not take courses full of LDS's. They are extremaly competitive and also they don't like, that some foreign student can have better grades than them.
