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)
- People have those "aww" moments, or light bulb moments. I had about 1000 of those during this camp! It was awesome! - Andrew ('17)
- I liked all of it. However, if I had to pick I would say reading Aristotle - Dru ('17)
