Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

Most popular groups are BYUSA (student association), service groups, each college has their own student association, like Nursing has their own. Dorms are pretty open, athletic events are very popular, Guest speakers get great turnouts of students, (thousands). Theater is huge at BYU because it is such a well-known program and #1 in a lot of dancing categories. Ton's of dating, 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} or so is married. I meet close friends through major, where you live, and ward (most often). Fraternities are not huge at all. Weekends are groups of friends coming up with some creative activity, (e.g. ice blocking, acting games, etc.). There is no drinking at BYU so the ideas get pretty creative. Most everyone lives off campus. Only Freshman live on campus.

TONS to do. If you want to be active in just about anything (minus drugs, alcohol, and sex!) you can! They have an incredible intramural sports program that anyone can participate in. Dating is huge because of the LDS culture, and there are lots of dances on campus. Parties are good, clean, and lots of fun. Lots of people dis Provo but saying there is nothing to do, but that's a total crock. Especially during the summer, the natural beauty of the area cannot be beat.

Lots of activities, but not always so well publicized. Website calendar the best resource for listings. Great for group activities. Dances are clean and fun. People will organize their own activities A LOT.

I go to Animation Club. I would say that that's an....experience. yep, and experience. You'd have to go to understand, but for me it's the highlight of my week. ^^ We draw throughout the whole 2 hours (all gestures) and just talk about the most random stuff we can think of. Sometimes it goes WAY off topic, but there are intellectual conversations,....in a miniscule amount, but they are there! Then the critique at the end is what helps me to improve my own art. At my last apartment I was with 5 other girls. What a trip! It was the first time I had ever lived with other girls besides my mom. yeah, there was drama. All-in-all though it was good. We stayed up late most every night. I think to go to bed before midnight was a miracle! lol. We would also bake late in the night. Bread, dinner, breakfast, you name it. Then the singing and laughing and scaring each other,....hehe. ok, the last part was all me, but you get my drift. ;P Oh yeah, I lived off-campus in Alta Apartments, which is mucho social! Older people, as in post-missionary (boys and girls), but still way fun. We would get a lot of people together a couple nights a week (not finals week of course) and play volley ball or ultimate frisbee. Those were good times. That's how I got to know most of the people at that complex.

BYU's activiity committee, BYUSA, plans activites regularly. These activities are well attended and include such things as dances, lunches, concerts, sports, etc. The committee members dedicated atleast 4 hours everyday to planning and organizing. BYU students can always count on good activites where you can meet new people and have a good time.

Lots of activities - not sure if any are all that good. No obvious drinking - you'd probably have to search much harder to find it than any other college. No frats, sororities (thank heavens). Socializing is very encouraged, but leaves one (aka me) feeling a bit choked for solitude. Friends are easy to find if you're looking for them, and boys to date, too. But beware;dating is an awkward, mine-choked battlefield.

Dance, especially ballroom, is huge a BYU. There is always a dancesport event going on, or dance clubs one can attend. Athletic events are very popular (I would know because I work on the events staff for BYU). Guest speakers are also popular. The dating scene doesn't own up to its reputation, if you want to date, you have to make enough effort. But that depends a lot on your living situation and your ward. I was roommates with the people who became my closest friends. If I'm awake at 2am then I'm either wasting time on facebook or writing a paper. "Party" does not mean party at BYU haha. Fraternities/sororities are nill. You can go dancing on a Saturday night and meet other single adults.

There are several dances and activities (such as completely sober foam parties, it's way exciting). The football games are always packed (every game this year was a sellout, and our stadium seats almost 65,000 people). BYU basketball, volleyball, baseball and other sports are way exciting. We have incredible meetings every Tuesday, with amazing speakers. Two years ago, we had the vice-president of the United States. This year, we had the senate majority leader, the supreme court justice, and the prophet of our church. These meetings are inspiring and educational, a one time experience and kind of unique to BYU.

Social life is good. EVERYONE dates. Dating is probably the biggest social thing to do. Theres no pressure, a first date is no big deal. YOu ask out whoever you want and do whatever you want. Its just a good way to meet people and get some one on one interaction which i feel like sometimes you dont get as much when youre at college and you have 6 roommates and 2398459023 friends.

There is always something going on, if not, Most LDS people can come up with random stuff to do that doesn't contain alcohol.
