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.

Awesome

I love the nightlife because it's all appropriate! There are so many dance clubs to go to and random get togethers that are open admittance that I can't help but have a great time. The campus is dry, so I don't have to worry about breaking the rules and can have a great time.

NON EXISTENT. This is religious private school... so expect to be home by 11:00 PM from a single adult activity of mini golfing. A few music indie venues in downtown provo that's growing but they close around 11:00 PM. After 12, it's dead.

...Only If You're Mormon

Since BYU is run by the LDS Church, students are expected to live according to certain standards: no drinking, drugs, pre-marital sex, etc. For LDS students and others interested in avoiding those things, the nightlife is great! You can go to a party or dance and not worry about being subjected to alcohol, drugs, and other riff raff. But for those not looking to avoid that, then the nightlife would be rather drab. So, it all depends on a person's disposition and perspective.

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.
