It gets the landlord out of the position of policing those rules

BYU just ended the approve housing requirement after your freshman year.

It will be interesting to see how this changes things.

BYUtka

9/23/21 9:16am

Yeah, 'studentville' just became a thing of the past

Hotlanta

9/23/21 9:21am

If so then more demand for living closer to campus so they don’t have to deal

kotacoug

Maybe someone will bulldoze the Riviera and put up a high rise parking garage

ryebrye

9/23/21 9:32am

Its insane the number of students who live 2 blocks away and still drive now

Charles Darwin

9/23/21 9:34am

25% of BYU students don't even own a car. Even so I don't disagree

runnincoug

9/23/21 10:03am

This will be interesting. For years there have been internal discussions at BYU

Nat Gas Man

9/23/21 10:33am

Why no below ground parking? I like that option for aesthetics and convenience

runnincoug

security and safety

Nat Gas Man

I "heard" that the new music building had the choice of underground parking.

BlueCoug

9/23/21 11:54am

Do you consider the parking at the LSB to be underground?

Charles Darwin

Really? Where did you see this?

My son wanted to "go" to college.

None of his UVU classes were offered in person?

tarzan15

One class had four in-person periods. They were all full.

Side note: how long until they rename Ensign College to "Liahona College"

When there's more diversity

My freshman year was a long time ago.

Good news! you can finally move out of BYU approved housing!

ryebrye

9/23/21 9:30am

This is long overdue

dwhitebud

That should hopefully drop housing prices in Provo

Turnpike Lane

9/23/21 9:16am

Rents are higher in Orem than in Provo, but the complexes are newer and nicer

Nat Gas Man

9/23/21 10:35am

The sound you just heard was Provo landlords everywhere watching their monopoly die in an instant

darkcoug

9/23/21 9:24am

You had to live within a geographical radius (like 2 miles) or with family

Hotlanta

9/23/21 9:25am

It restricted the area to a certain geography. This will open up new options

johnnybyu

9/23/21 9:27am

I does give landlords more options though and less hoops to jump through…

kotacoug

9/23/21 9:28am

I agree for really bad housing but rent increases have increased so much outside

Related to LGBTQ? Isn't there a housing case against BYU RN?

It’s pretty silly to make landlords enforce the HC

JOPE

9/23/21 9:28am

A much needed change. Hopefully this improves quality and cost of housing.

delux_247

9/23/21 9:21am

That's going to be rough for the landlord's families who rely on the artificial increase in demand on approved homes.

shimmy

9/23/21 9:22am

oh cool. i'm a giant hack

shimmy

9/23/21 9:23am

So you now won't be able to live with UVU kids in BYU approved housing? But you

Iman23

9/23/21 9:22am

you couldn't live with UVU kids in BYU approved housing?

shimmy

9/23/21 9:23am

Moving forward. BYU-contracted off-campus housing (i.e. "BYU approved" housing)

cougarfan84

9/23/21 9:32am

yeah. your freshman year will be BYU only. but afterwards you can live wherever

v1k0u6

9/23/21 9:23am

Freshman year - BYU approved and limited to only BYU students. After that - everything is open.

kccougar

9/23/21 9:26am

Good change. One of the dumber BYU rules. No reason to treat adults like EFY kids

letthewookieewin

9/23/21 9:24am

There's a slippery slope! Once you allow women to use your restroom, who knows

ryebrye

9/23/21 9:34am

Keep in mind that the housing rules are still in place per the Honor Code (i.e.

I bet those rules will still be in place - just not enforced by the landlord

That's how I read it. Student are still expected to follow the rules, but it

If we ask enough questions eventually the entire letter will get pasted here 🙂

ryebrye

9/23/21 9:37am

LOL. There are actually 2 letters and a FAQ page. Links inside!

BlueCoug

9/23/21 9:46am

but i doubt they'll require entire buildings to be segregated, like they do now.

v1k0u6

9/23/21 9:40am

How could they? This will make life much easier for landlords now

ryebrye

9/23/21 9:45am

BYU is basically ASU now. Couple of party schools with no rules. Sad, really.

TCuz

9/23/21 9:37am

you're being sarcastic, right?

run26

9/23/21 11:13am

Now BYU students can be adults and not be babysat 24/7

Alpi Gusto

Right? It’s such a crazy thing, this attitude of having to monitor adults. I hea

Jay Rick

Not just freshman year - "For their first two semesters as a BYU student"

ryebrye

9/23/21 9:39am

My take... Blame UVU...

TheLost

9/23/21 9:40am

or thank UVU, depending on your point of view

v1k0u6

9/23/21 9:42am

Blame? More like thank. College students are adults. Stop treating them like kids

letthewookieewin

9/23/21 9:44am

I almost agree... however..

If your house is decent I don't think rent prices will decrease much.

Ya it’s in great shape. We’ve done a few things to it over the last year.

This is true, but there were good reasons for it.

runnincoug

While technically true, I never knew of any landlord that put any effort into enforcing the HC.

At BYU I never saw anyone either. At Ricks though? Bed checks every night.
