Student Life
Make your time at WyoTech an experience you won’t forget.
Our students spend 8 hours of their day in class. That means there’s 16 hours left to spend outside of school getting involved with student life. Part of WyoTech’s vision to deliver the best training, best experience, and best outcomes includes giving you the best student life experience that Laramie, Wyoming, has to offer.
Go ice fishing. Try snowmobiling or snowboarding. Attend game nights. Play a basketball game. The options are endless.
Whatever activities you’re into, the WyoTech Student Life department will ensure your time at WyoTech is an experience you won’t forget.

WyoTech Gives Back
Here at WyoTech, we want to give back to those who support us. We offer a variety of opportunities to serve our students and community. Some of these include-
Tutoring
We offer student tutors in every program for students who may be struggling to understand the materials. These services are free to students and available every weekday after classes get out.
Food Pantry
We know the finances it takes for a student to complete post-secondary education, and we understand that this may lead to sacrificing in other areas. We don’t want you to have to go hungry; so we offer a food pantry for our students in need. Students and staff donate food regularly, so that none of our students have to miss a meal due to financial struggles.
Community Service
WyoTech gets a lot of support from our community, and loves to give back in any way that we can. Our students have offered over 15,000 hours of community service since 2018. We offer countless opportunities to be involved in the community to our students, in order for them to participate in Laramie Life and get to know people outside of their classes, as well as earn some extra credit.


Life in Laramie
For most of you, “Wyoming” is probably a place you never had on your radar before now. That’s one of the reasons we have such a good time out here: There’s not a lot of people, but there’s plenty to do.
Here in Laramie, you’ve got quick access to the Snowy Range, where you can go fishing, hiking, snowboarding, and much more. In town, there’s local rodeos, dances, farmer’s markets, and University of Wyoming sporting events, including football and basketball.
You’ll find out quick what small-town life is all about. Expect warm greetings (and waves) as you’re out exploring, and don’t be surprised if you create more than a few lifelong connections while you’re here.

Student Life FAQs
How do I find out about Student Life events and clubs?
Student Life events will be communicated through your Canvas account and calendar, so you will always have the latest schedule and updates!
Do I need to do anything to join a student club or can I just show up?
In order for students to join a student club, students only need to show up and talk to the staff who are leading the club about information on future meetings and events!
How do I get food from the food pantry?
Our student food pantry is located in the Campus Courtyard dorms, in the Student Services office (room B108). You can go at anytime the office is open and there is a Student Services coordinator available, and they can help you get what you need from the pantry.
Am I required to have a laptop for class?
Yes, students are required to have a laptop. Most computers purchased in 2020 or afterward should meet the minimum specifications (listed below). Macbooks and other Apple products will create compatibility issues with several of the student platforms we use, specifically Canvas. For this reason, we prefer students use Windows 10 or Windows 11 laptops.
Laptop requirements:
- 14-to-16 inch screen
- Windows 10 or Windows 11 operating system
- I3 or Ryzen 3 processor
- Minimum of 8 GB Ram
- Minimum of 256 GB Solid State Hard Drive
Am I required to have health insurance?
We do not require our students to have health insurance, but it is highly recommended.
