A coworker friend of mine (not LDS, never lived in Utah) is considering U of U

for a graduate degree (Master's in Information Systems).

FWIW, she's evangelical, pretty active in her faith, single, mid 20-s, and we've had some good gospel discussions.

What stuff should I warn her about Utah?

Tokolosh

You're both right. What category should I have used? I don't do this very well.
