life and are finding that UVU matches their academic goals but they can still have that BYU social life in PROVO. With the UVX bus service it is even more convenient to live in Provo and go to school at UVU

Riddle me this: If there are nearly 40,000 UVU students and roughly 30,000 BYU

It’s just stereotyping. They are playing off of BYU’s image as a party school.

Gosh dang it. And TNT could have partied with them. Stupid admissions

Come now, BYU students don't attend parties like that. They do tunnel singing.

Bingo! That's where my son met his wife and where he later proposed to her.

The UVU students are all studying.

Of course they are, they are trying to get into BYU... 😉

It's more scandalous-sounding if they report it as BYU.

Benfica1

9/14/20 4:48pm

bc a BYU student went on the news talking about how he was hosting the parties

MarkWatney

9/14/20 4:50pm

or it's a fake BYU student who really attends a state school

Also, the hair schools & other college age kids who just want to live in Provo

CaliWG

9/14/20 4:51pm

Hair school? Is that just a very flashy, overdone school?

Sounds like a lame sports administration school, where they teach back-stabbing,

Doogal McCougar

the organizer of the party is a BYU student. So that's the main reason

For now.

many of the kids at the "young/dumb" parties are high schoolers

iirc, one of the main parties was on provo center st, closer to byu campus and

Undefeated

9/14/20 7:26pm

One is a commuter school and the other isn’t. I would venture to guess that more party-goers are BYU students than UVU

scootsy

9/14/20 7:32pm

Ok. Add in college age kids not going to school and high schoolers and I’d bet

A fraction of the UVU student body lives in Provo while the vast majority of BYU students do live there.

scootsy

9/14/20 7:49pm

B/C BYU students have to live w/in 2 miles of campus.

Soupie

9/14/20 7:53pm

Is this a new rule? I lived all the way up in Highland for a year.

scootsy

9/14/20 7:58pm

Allowed if you live with family.

Soupie

9/14/20 8:01pm

Maybe it’s because I was already married.

scootsy

9/14/20 8:05pm

Yeah, doesn't apply to married students.

Soupie

9/14/20 8:13pm

A big fraction. I recently served in a Provo singles ward and about 60% were UVU students. The ward was about 2 blocks

Rhino84

9/14/20 8:26pm

Are you for real? Do you live out of state?

YSMACK

9/14/20 8:12pm

Agree

Mot

9/14/20 8:34pm

Then you'd be wrong. There are tons of UVU students mixed in with BYU students.

Benfica1

9/14/20 8:46pm

I didn’t say there are none, I said a fraction. And compared to BYU students it’s absolutely the case.

scootsy

9/14/20 8:55pm

Maybe but I had one daughter without a single BYU roommate until her 3rd year & that was her sister. If you spend time

Soupie

9/14/20 8:58pm

I lived south of campus all during BYU and didn’t have a problem finding housing

Delicate Genius

9/14/20 10:53pm

It's changed a lot since then. First daughter started that year and it was very different then than it is now.

Rhino84

Think UVX has backfired if you're a BYU student.

Soupie

9/14/20 11:49pm

Maybe. Still would be surprised if UVU is higher percentage active LDS now than

Delicate Genius

9/15/20 12:01am

Not higher LDS population. We were talking about how many kids going to Provo parties are from BYU vs UVU

Soupie

9/15/20 12:08am

I agree there is a likelihood that more UVU students attend Provo parties than

Delicate Genius

9/15/20 12:59am

Partying in Provo doesn’t mean they have to live there —- unless going to BYU.

Soupie

9/15/20 1:17am

You do sound a little bitter about it Soupie! 🙂 🙂

Rhino84

9/16/20 7:55am

It's far more than 'a fraction'. But, think whatever makes you happy.

Benfica1

9/14/20 9:02pm

Well I manage housing and my experience is more than anecdotal.

YSMACK

9/14/20 9:06pm

^^^ Never went to a party in Provo.

You need to watch more movies to educate yourself about life on college campus.

No one said "all" but it's been portrayed as all BYU which is simply not true.

My inside source says Provo Bros are ticked they didn't get their recognition
