USU is Just For You

Since its founding in 1888, Utah State University has evolved from a small, agricultural college to one that is nationally and internationally recognized. Go Aggies!!

Allyson is headed to Utah State University today. Hugs, kisses and tears will be shed on the road to Logan, but this "Snow White" in her other life, is an 'I can do this!' kind of gal.


All year she's worked at the fabric store saving for housing, tuition, supplies & more. She'll take her graduation quilt showing those great band accomplishments over the years and a supply of food, household goods & more. Jessica, her friend & roommate will be making the jump to college life, too.

Meeting new friends from all over, Allyson will set up house with them. Her family at home will miss her tremendously & she them, as they keep in touch. Music, classes and work will fill her days, as she adjusts to the cool Cache Valley air and the school life.

Jim Crane, Allyson's dad, Alicia, Allan & many family members call USU their alma mater. She'll love being a part of one of the best universities in the nation.

Get Your Snow 'College' Cones Here

The Spirt of Snow is "The Warmest Snow on Earth."


Camille is headed for Snow College on Saturday with scholarship & all. This summer she's worked as the head life guard at the county pool, diligently saving her money.


Choosing orange as her signature color, sheets, hangers, dishes and more were checked off and added to the growing pile of necessities. Buying towels was never this fun before, who knew.

After loading the quad cab truck, the family will head south to Nephi. Then drive through the turkey farming country, passing Mt. Nebo, Mt Pleasant and Moroni on their way.

The sleepy, quaint town of Ephraim will be Camille's home this year, but don't be fooled about her getting bored. Anywhere you find 3000 college students, there's bound to be fun, friends & lots of fry sauce. Jennifer & Mauri loved their years at Snow.

Best wishes on your first year of school as a Badger. They have a first rate football team, too.
