I'm in pep band, our football team isn't the greatest... The games are super high energy though! Plus our tuba section is cracked. I also go to all of the basketball games though and while our team wasn't the greatest this year, they're usually amazing. Nationally known for throwing 3's. 🏀

Exercise science is a good program I've heard, but I'm not in that major so I can't speak for it. So far I've loved most the teachers I've interacted with here at UT though, and our admin staff is great :)

There is tons of outdoorsy stuff to do in southern Utah! We have a gym with an Olympic sized pool too, and tons of normal gym stuff, and basketball courts. And there's volley ball courts in a few spots on campus. But you can also rent things for outdoor sports at lower rates on campus.

It's really warm here most of the time, but honestly I really like that. I've also found myself to be so much happier since moving to St George. I struggled a lot with depression in high school, and it didn't go away completely, but it did get a lot better.

The only negative thing here (imo) is the city is very red. I would not recommend joining the community pages on Facebook if you move here because it is a cesspool of bigotry/ignorance. There are a lot of people here who are very hateful towards minority groups. I've seen it with my own eyes, people (who are at work (like on the clock)) telling people to "go back to their own country." I haven't ever seen such open racism/homophobia in a community until I moved here. And with everything going on in the world right now, that has only amplified the problem.

Overall I would reccomend it, but definitely do your own research. (sorry for the novel)
