Blow it up and build a parking garage for those commuting

Hahahaha like Liberty Square could ever die

That would be amazing. The approved housing monopolized those neighborhoods.

of all byu's policies, this one made me the most upset. good day for students

Of all BYU's policies, this one surprised me most when my kids attended 20 years after I attended

BOOM--there goes the housing monopoly in Provo!

Actually anyone could apply for and get “approved” with little effort.

Well, they did have the 2-mile radius rule. So that sort of capped the number.

I’m not familiar with that rule.

StalwartBraveTrue

9/23/21 10:29am

That rule was implemented about 15 years ago IIRC. Only allowed "BYU-approved"

Thanks. My neighbor applied for his basement apartment and got approved.

I don’t see the “opposite sex house after midnight” rule in the updated honor code. With this change, is that something

MarkWatney

Residential Living Standards still apply. They are just removing the landlords

Teach them correct principles and let them govern themselves.

The narc concept needs to go. If you narc, it should be a violation. period.

Does that apply to sex only or to drugs, etc too?

StalwartBraveTrue

9/23/21 10:43am

the after hours policy was never enforced in my time there

Daughter texted this to me this morning but is bummed it can't start sooner. She'll graduate in April.

There's always grad school

spoxjox

Graduate students could live anywhere already.

There's always waiting to graduate at the end of Year 5.

Ha! My 2 BYU seniors have also been discussing this, on our family chat

It will be interesting to see how this changes things.

Thank you to the Big XII!

I wonder if BYU-I will follow suit?

UNLVcougar

9/23/21 10:43am

Do they allow sandals or shorts yet? Would be surprised if they follow suit

MDub1

9/23/21 1:55pm

BYU-I seems to take pride in having more rules

ryebrye

9/23/21 6:50pm

Great news!

9/23/21 10:48am

It will be interesting to see how this impacts the BYU stake and ward organizations as students spread out a little

So if I have a daughter at UVU and one at BYU, and they want to live together

HenderCoug

9/23/21 11:00pm

Yes. But I imagine a lot fewer will be BYU contracted in future.

Soupie

9/23/21 11:06pm

What does this mean exactly? I must admit this was not something I was aware of

Bro

9/23/21 11:04am

As I understand it... now only freshmen have to live in BYU approved housing.

StantonMac

9/23/21 11:11am

First two semesters _at BYU_ - it seems transfer students must stay in approved

ryebrye

9/23/21 6:53pm

This is a good change. I hope the city doesn't screw it up with bad zoning now

Pangare

9/23/21 11:07am

My guess is some of the bigger complexes closest to BYU will still get the BYU contract but all their residents will

Soupie

9/23/21 11:12am

Finally! Its amazing how long it took to get here.
