Living on campus makes it easy to walk home after late-night study sessions, grab a no-prep meal, work out before class, or find something to do during a break.

Campus life

Sports facilities
The Club Sports Program is an integral part of the Campus Recreation Program at Utah State. The Club Sport Program compliments the University’s intercollegiate athletic programs, Intramural activities, and physical education course offerings. The program is administered by the Campus Recreation Department, which offers professional guidance to the teams within the Club Sport Program. Each team is formed, developed, governed and administered by the student membership of that particular team working with the Campus Recreation Department. The key to the success of this program and each team is student leadership, interest, involvement, and participation. There will be 21 teams for the 2018-2019 school year.
Student clubs
With more than 16,000 students on campus, it's no surprise there are more than 200 student-run clubs and organizations to choose from, including Aggies for Africa, the clogging club, the Polynesian Student Union, and everything in between.
