Living in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City is a modern city with every urban amenity set minutes away from spectacular mountains.  Many of our students take advantage of our accessibility to winter sports and summer hiking.

From the numerous mountain ranges to the five national parks to other sites such as the Great Salt Lake, it's no wonder that Utah was named the No. 1 Best State Overall for 2 years in a row.
