i was a student at uinta in 2003 to 2004 i would love to know where some of you get your "facts" the staff there have been nothing but respectful, jeff had individual attention with all of us as a matter of fact he keeps up with you if you make the effort to, my son is named after him that's how big of a difference he made in my life, Jeff, Becky and the staff changed my life from dangerous and self destructive to helping me become a productive member of society. The staff would encourage you to be the best you could be but on a very relatable side, they were able to use ti have many wonderful memories of Uinta and the horses and girls. i graduated in 2004 before the transition program or east and west campus was started but i go back for yearly visits to catch up with Jeff and becky and see how the program has changed, although it has grown there is no difference in how jeff and becky give each girl individual attention and show respect for everyone in the house. they look out for your best interest. My parents live in PA and i know it was hard for them to send me so far away but in the end it made a world of difference knowing they couldn't just drive up and buy into my manipulation of trying to come home, as yes you do get homesick and frequently think man if i could just go home and relax,but you work threw it and in the end it helps to just deal and learn that you can't manipulate every situation
