True but BYU is far more than a sliver.

Just spoke with a friend who just wrote $105,000 worth of checks for tuition and

He should have at least used a credit card to get points on that

They usually charge a "service fee" to charge tuition on a credit card.

My grad school didn't. I guess I was just lucky.

You were lucky. I wonder if they still do that.

I paid tuition last week with a credit card in Texas. No service fee.

For what length of time? A semester? A year?

Only this semester (edited above)

Sounds like they're going to private colleges or something. I understand why

Have to admit, it'd be fun to say you go to school in a place called Walla Walla

The best part is that he has $105,000 in his account to write said checks.

How much tithing have you paid since your kids were born? BYU isn't actually all
chilango
7/24/17 8:00am
Tithing is more my country club dues than my tuition payments.

It's really both, if you think about it. Unless your kids don't end up at BYU,

The benefits are out of this world though. I am not complaining.

I'm guessing that BYU is a pretty small sliver of total church expenditures

I have heard a number of times that the church’s single biggest expense is BYU

I'd pay tithing even if my kids went to a different school. It's not the same thing

I agree it isn't exactly the same thing. But the cost of having your kid

wait your kids can't live there if they go to BYU
Nat Gas Man
7/24/17 9:21am
True. That's well outside the 2 mile radius.

Auto-corrected from UVU to BYU. Interesting...

That makes more sense.

oh and you can expect rents to go up...still a shortage of places to live

my married kids have had to live in $700/month total dive basements in S Provo

Yep. We've seen that.

Daughter's fiancé is 6'5". His brother's married apartment has such low ceilings, he can't stand up when he visits.

You can definitely find stuff for less than $365. But I also thought

actually Orem allows all houses to have rentals if they meet the criteria and

I believe Provo is trying to do this too. The big deal is with it being owner occupied
soupie

But many times that's in totally different housing markets like Bay Area or Seattle.

supply and demand...that is why Ashton Apts are $2400/month for 3bd 3 bath

For me the biggest problem is the 2 mile radius paired with the fact that they can't

Yes, it was compared to their share of rent. And even now
