Cougar Pride!

For any sporting event the campus floods with the Y symbol. Students have school pride, and for a good reason. The sports teams usually do very well state wide, and nation wide.

Lots of Fun

BYU is in Provo which has two malls, and many theaters. There are plenty of places to eat, and most places are pretty cheep. The mountians are right there, so snowboarding and skiing is an option during the winter.

Pretty Safe

The campus is fairly large, but the security does a pretty good job and being around.
