Utah Lyceum Testimonials


What do you think was the best part of the Lyceum?

  • It was very interesting and informative without being boring. The discussions we had about all the topics were really enjoyable, and exposed many of the flaws in my own reasoning. I could tell how much the lyceum was catered towards the students' enjoyment, which makes a big difference. - Chelsea ('21)
