This is correct. There are things that UVU can do for students to make it more affordable.

Rank these three non-BYU backup plans:

Depends on the Local state school

Michigan State would be fantastic compared to my ‘state’ school

Toss up between UVU and BYU-I. Local state school a distant 3rd.

especially for an engineering degree

This is true. But I was ranking it strictly from a social perspective.

It depends on the kid.

Why the UVU love?

Pete

9/20/22 11:28am

Love is a strong word. This is a question that only exists when compromises

garyfan

9/20/22 11:29am

At this point you can go to UVU, live in Provo with BYU students, go to a “BYU” YSA ward, attend BYU events

Ah, so we're not talking about quality education. We're just talking about the "experience"...

Pete

9/20/22 11:31am

Is UVU's education inferior to BYU-I's?

garyfan

9/20/22 11:32am

I mean, none of those options (outside of all the possible state schools) are good schools, so sure.

TCuz

9/20/22 11:34am

If you can't get into BYU (70% acceptance rate and the 89th ranked college), then school experience is probably more

HarlemCoug

9/20/22 11:45am

Local State School, BYU-I, UVU probably?

UVU for a year, then transfer to BYU.

UVU is a local state school, not a backup plan for out-of-state kids

StantonMac

9/20/22 11:31am

I know lots of out-of-state kids who have gone to UVU, and for every single one

garyfan

9/20/22 11:33am

How long do you have to live in Utah before they are no longer charged

StantonMac

9/20/22 11:43am

A year if you're applying for residency. If you're from the western US you can do WUE.

Big Red Thunder

9/20/22 11:45am

Usually a full year, but there are ways around that.

specsauce

Most aren’t charged out if state. In state tuition ‘scholarship’ is pretty easy

kotacoug

9/20/22 12:17pm

I know a ton of AZ kids who have gone to UVU instead of ASU.

kotacoug

9/20/22 11:34am

UofU and USU over BYU-I/UVU easily

violetjazz

9/20/22 11:32am

ByuI isn’t on the my board at all.

OmahaOmaha

9/20/22 11:34am

Does your kid have a modicum of intellectual ability and aspirations or are they

Scratch

9/20/22 11:36am

I already put BYU-I last on my list.

garyfan

9/20/22 11:37am

Does this assume you live in Utah? For those of us out of state, I think BYU-I

2-1-3

Taccoug

9/20/22 11:44am

Depends on my kid and if they have an idea of what they want to study

BYUheaven

My son is looking to play sports in college. His ceiling is a smaller schooler.

BYUheaven

9/20/22 11:48am

This has got to be totally dependent on what exactly the person wants to do with

RoyalTooth15

9/20/22 11:46am

Opposite of your ranking

Unibro

9/20/22 11:57am

BYU-I or UVU depending on the kid and their goals, strengths, and weaknesses.

KingDave

9/20/22 12:18pm

Utah State should be #1.

Hoosier77

9/20/22 12:40pm

BYU-I, UVU, Local State School. I think many are underestimating the

JarJarBeeps

Correction. Wherever they get the best financial aid offer. I love BYU but

JarJarBeeps

9/20/22 1:05pm

BYU is so cheap. The kinds of jobs/work experience offered to the typical BYU student is 10x better than

HarlemCoug

9/20/22 1:18pm

Academically, UVU is probably below your average state school.

MetaLearner

9/20/22 1:57pm

There's a difference between UCLA/Berkeley and Chico St.

jvquarterback

9/20/22 2:04pm

Obviously. You can comment on your plans.

garyfan

9/20/22 2:06pm

Any UC school + Cal Poly SLO > USU or local cal state or UVU > BYUI.

jvquarterback

For many, the spiritual environment is also a top consideration that pushes them

garyfan

9/20/22 5:14pm

I guess it depends on what criteria you are ranking based on. Academics? Environment? Cost? Proximity to home? Ranking?

unctoothman

LOL. Of course. Everyone's answer will vary. There is no correct answer,

garyfan

9/20/22 5:15pm

Local public. Then kid’s choice of Utah public (UVU/UTU/SUU/USU). Then BYUI/H.
