Time to Kick Back by Dylan Goelz

After all is said and done, and those 10 harsh weeks of school for the quarter are all finished up, what is it that the students of Neumont University do to occupy their times, while waiting on the next quarter to roll around? 

Well I talked to a few/many students before the last week of school and I was told that almost every student (in my Cohort '25' at least) would be going home for the break. This means that out of 30+ students only 5 or so students would be staying here in Utah to relax. Now this came as a shock to me because I thought that most students would not be able to afford something like this. But again, the college blind eye has deceived me.

For those students that went home there are a few situations that they experience while visiting their old family and friends after 3+ months away from them. The first thing would be them having to sit through a long trip back to wherever they are from. There may be a few students from the states a little closer such as Idaho or Colorado but a 17 hour train ride to get to Los Angeles seams a little daunting if you ask me. I digress because in the end each and every student who ventured home for the break between quarters where able to relieve some of the homesickness on them, as well as some pressure hopefully.

For the few students that did stay back to enjoy Utah’s many tourist attractions or just to relax in the student housing, or wherever they may be staying, there are a few activities to participate in: I, for one, am one of the few students that were able to stay back and enjoy the surroundings and wonderful weather as the seasons here are changing. A few activities to partake in would include the miniature golf-course and batting cages within walking distance of the school. If that doesn’t strike your fancy then maybe a few hikes or a nice camping trip to enjoy this time of year, there are always the dollar theaters open year-round to serve those of us who enjoy movies but don’t quite have the pocket for the more expensive theaters.

As you can see there are many activities that students may partake in during the break here at Neumont. I listed but a select few, and there are countless more options. Salt Lake City caters to many different tastes and characteristics of the people in this beautiful city. Whether it be the music scene or the nature scene, shopping or relaxing, there is always something here to occupy your time. Then again we can just sit in Neumont housing and play 15 hour lan parties with our friends or maybe try to get a leg up on the next quarter and learn some new skills in the coding genre. 

Whatever be your choice in the end, you can never go wrong here at Neumont due to the sheer variety of choices of activities here in the beautiful South Jordan, Utah.

Neumont's Home City Name in the top 10 for Growth

Daybreak neighborhood in South Jordan, Utah -

Neumont's married student population.

South Jordan, Utah - Neumont University's home city just outside of the Salt Lake metropolitan area was named in the Gadberry Group’s 10 from 2010 — an annual list of the most notable high-growth places in the U.S.

• Lehigh Acres, Florida
• Frisco, Texas
• South Jordan, Utah 
• Lincoln, California
• Cary, North Carolina

After a statistical analysis of more than 17,000 Census locations across the country, South Jordan was identified as one of the most notable for growth and key demographic changes In 2010. South Jordan, ranked eighth on the 2010 list.

The area’s households grew at 4.08% since 2009 for a total of 14,186, nearly doubling in size since 2000. The Daybreak Community development continued to drive growth. This 31.22% growth was the second
fastest of the 10 cities. Average income for the area was the highest on the 2010 list at $107.908. In addition,
average net worth for the area was the second highest at $407,697. These households also tended to be much younger than the other nine cities. The area had the lowest median age of 27.9 years.

Have you ever heard the phrase " hollering in a cave?"  Sometimes people just want to vent, we get that, that's part of life.  But, when you really want to be heard, take your message to someone who can help your concept succeed.  Don't call out in a dark cave where nobody can hear you, when you can shout from the mountain tops!

At Neumont, when students, staff, or faculty have constructive ideas about their University experience, we want to hear about it.  Our students have great ideas, and unique perspective on the Neumont experience, and we appreciate the effective feedback out students provide during quarterly faculty and course evaluations.

Neumont is an institution that thrives on results, we test, we measure, and then we test again. And, one of the most compelling units of our success metric is the success and satisfaction of our students.


So, join us for a President's Fireside Chat, with Neumont University President Ned Levine to discuss your thoughts on how to improve the student experience, to review your Neumont student experience, or to ask your questions on what to expect over the coming months.  Or, just grab your lunch and meet in Room 200 to bask in the pseudo-fireside glow during an open forum conversation with Neumont's President.

Wednesday, June 1 - 12:00 pm, Room 200

Start the dialogue now, post your thoughts and questions below, see what others are wondering about. What would you like to see discussed?
