''Utah'' is a western state of the United States. It was the 45th state admitted to the United States, in 1896. Approximately 80% of Utah's 2.7 million people live along the Wasatch Front, centering around the state capital of Salt Lake City. In contrast, vast expanses of the state are nearly uninhabited, making the population the sixth most urbanized in the United States.

The name "Utah" is derived from the Ute Indian language, meaning "people of the mountains".

Utah is known for being one of the most religiously homogeneous states in the Union. Between 58% and 72% of people in Utah are reported to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the LDS Church or Mormon Church), which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life.

The state is a centre of transportation, information technology and research, government services and mining as well as a major tourist destination for outdoor recreation.

== Education ==
(sourced from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah)

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_State_Board_of_Education Illinois State Board of Education] or ISBE, autonomous of the governor and the state legislature, administers public education in the state. Local municipalities and their respective school districts operate individual public schools but the ISBE audits performance of public schools with the ''Illinois School Report Card''. The ISBE also makes recommendations to state leaders concerning education spending and policies.

Education is compulsory from kindergarten through the twelfth grade, commonly but not exclusively divided into three tiers of primary and secondary education: elementary school, middle school or junior high school, and high school. District territories are often complex in structure. In some cases, elementary, middle and junior high schools of a single district feed into high schools in another district.

Using the criterion established by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, there are eleven "National Universities" in the state. Three of these rank among the top 100 National Universities in the United States, as determined by the U.S. News & World Report rankings: the University of Chicago (8), Northwestern University (12) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (40). The other eight National Universities, including two more that rank in the top 120 are: Illinois Institute of Technology (102), Loyola University Chicago (116), DePaul University, Illinois State University, Southern Illinois University, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Northern Illinois University and Trinity International University.

Besides the "National Universities", Illinois has several other major universities and colleges, both public and private, including: Eastern Illinois University, Northeastern Illinois University, Western Illinois University, Columbia College Chicago, Bradley University, Roosevelt University, Chicago State University and Robert Morris University Illinois. There are also dozens of small liberal arts colleges across the state.

Additionally, Illinois supports 49 public community colleges in the Illinois Community College System via the [http://www.iccb.org/index.html Illinois Community College Board].
