My daughter was paying $640+Utils for a single room (4 rooms per apartment.. 2 are shared rooms). She moved into Married housing and is now paying $1500 this semester.

My son and his wife pay $2k.

How much are BYU non-married students paying these days?

Must be living in some nice places (or non-shared rooms) to cost $600-$700

Not really.. My daughters didn't even include WiFi for $650.

Housing by UVU is more expensive than Provo but newer. Places doubling up on

In 2013 me and my 5 roomates each paid $330 a month for shared rooms

But that's not an apples to apples comparison. The landlord assumes greater risk

Riviera and Raintree were both advertising in the $300-400 range in August.

Many BYU housing landlords are basically slumlords

Agree on most of your points, but student choose to live in nicer places that

It's the compiled rent for each apt that gets crazy. Say a student pays $450/mo & shares with 6 other people.

Is that really much of a risk in Provo? Really?

Its a pain to manage individual contracts. I don't have BYU housing but one

johnnybyu

9/23/21 10:51am

Not too mention additional risk for doing the Fall/Winter contracts

NottherealJWill

Right, but students didn't have any other option. They were forced into that scenario by the BYU rules.

Yep, this opens it up so a group of friends can go rent a house in Orem/Provo and split the rent which would be much

jaromp

Most areas in Provo and Orem are zoned for 3 singles and most decent houses rent

johnnybyu

The less expensive, shared contracts are definitely the way to go

Sounds like you lived at Campus Plaza. 😉

Soupie

You know it. By far the best (and cheapest) complex I lived in at BYU.

I lived there a year too. But mine was 667 down next to Slab pizza so it was bigger & only had 4 people. 🙂
