Time

if you spent 4+ years at BYU and that was your only time living in Utah

How would you know? You admit to not living in Utah.

Baron

8/9/18 11:45am

Huh?

8/9/18 11:48am

My mistake. I read left provo for left Utah. carry on.

Baron

8/9/18 11:58am

Yeah, I figured that was it. Nope, I moved to Orem, then American Fork....

8/9/18 12:01pm

Reread

True. College Utah culture and townie Utah culture are way different

Cashmeousside

Fortunately.

I think I initially misunderstood your comment.

Machiavelli

Had the same experience. Getting outside the BYU bubble was a little shocking.

Memmo

I would add that Provo ward culture and those outside Provo

8/9/18 11:53am

Yeah. And then a separate one for super-mormony yet low-education Utah burbs

Cashmeousside

The difference is that, even if we "only" lived there for 4 years, many of us

Its real simple, the OP doesn’t describe you. Yet from a position of knowledge, what you think you know

8/9/18 12:44pm

This doesn't seem unique to BYU. BYU is a unique school, but college bubbles

8/9/18 12:03pm

Lol this is ridiculous. I've been here 7 years. I know enough.

TCuz

8/9/18 12:07pm

That’s cool but that doesn’t make you better than anyone

cougarnerd

Actually it does. TCuz is the best.

And what's your attitude been like for those 7 yrs?

soupie

What if the population was just you and Jesus?

JAGA97

8/9/18 12:28pm

Then something has gone terribly, terribly wrong.

TCuz

8/9/18 12:30pm

Therein lies the disconnect. The gulf between what you know and what you think you know is enormous

8/9/18 12:30pm

I have no idea what you're talking about.

TCuz

8/9/18 12:47pm

Living in Provo or living in the tree streets of SLC are going to give you

cougarnerd

8/9/18 2:09pm

Sure. But living in a place that's >50% Mormon is unique and the same across UT

TCuz

8/9/18 2:15pm

I have 3 sisters who live in SLC. One has been there since 1981. I'm no expert,

Y-Zag

8/9/18 12:17pm

Sure. But SLC is quite different from everywhere else.

If you spent 4+ years at BYU... you're doing it wrong

ColoSpgs

8/9/18 12:21pm

Most people graduate in 3?

Plato

8/9/18 12:27pm

3+

Foreign mission + learn language + BYU = Cheap concurrent semester of A's

...Or you studied engineering

Gorum the Old

8/9/18 2:12pm

... Or you were a normal college student

Gorum the Old

8/9/18 2:13pm

Engineers. We're there for the long haul.

8/9/18 3:52pm

I think there is a point in there somewhere... I'll keep looking

hadmonster

8/9/18 12:42pm

I didn’t have to have a long term relationship with a girl before I knew things

Y2k

8/9/18 12:51pm

That's a universal concept... not just Utah centric.
