Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you are looking for a late night, party-intensive, bar and club scene kind of college experience, BYU is not for you. Because of the BYU Honor Code, drinking is prohibited, and, therefore, there are no big bars near campus. The one club in Provo is not huge; Salt Lake does have a bigger “nightlife scene.” Nothing in Provo stays open very late. However, this doesn’t mean that students go to bed early. Students tend to be very creative in their free time and have plenty of fun despite the lack of venues. There is a pretty good local music scene, and in the summer, there are always bonfires up the canyon.

The Student Council at BYU tries to fill the void of big
parties by sponsoring big opening and closing parties every semester. Provo city has a few fun ordinances that prohibit big, loud, private parties. So if you are planning on throwing huge raves, don’t bother. Provo is basically good clean fun or nothing, so make sure that you are ready to be creative in your spare time.

Curfew and Dry Parties

I'm choosing this grade based off what society thinks of as a good time. BYU is a dry campus. The transportation is decent. At night we play night games and hang out put we're not real big on the parties that happen at most campuses.

If you appreciate a more mild setting with little peer pressure, I would recommend this university.

Clean Fun

There are a lot of activities at BYU, and anything sponsored by BYU is required to be very "clean" (no alcohol, modest dress, etc).

We're Mormon...

Finding people that attend BYU and even WANT to go to a club would be pretty hard, seeing as most of us are Mormon. BYUSA, the dorms, and the off-campus housing people put on a lot of events that are really fun, and we also enjoy the wide variety of outdoor activities having mountains surrounding us provides. There's plenty to do, but I gave the B grade because I'm pretty sure you're talking about clubbing, and that's something we don't do :P

Facts

Club Crawler

Provo does not have a huge club scene. There is a comedy club, ComedySportz, which is really funny. Other than that, you have to hit Salt Lake if you want to get into the club scene.

Closing Time

1 a.m.

Organization Parties

Most clubs on campus will have an opening and closing social. These are generally only advertised within the organization, but sometimes, if you watch the boards in the JKHB, you will see flyers announcing socials. These are a great way to meet people with similar interests.

Club ListingsWhat's This?

ComedySportz

Shows are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. You’d best get there early, as these shows regularly sell out.

What to Do if You're Not 21What's This?

It doesn’t matter in Provo, since there isn’t really a bar scene. Twenty-one is a very unfulfilling birthday in Provo, so don’t stress if you’re not there yet.
