Primary Areas with NightlifeCollege Prowler Take
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. Students Speak Out

There are no bars and clubs around here. We don't drink; its against our honor code. Campus parties are probably not what every other college student is experiencing but we have fun.

On-campus parties are usually kind of lame, so if you're going to go, make sure you have a fun group who will make the best of it. Otherwise, party on your own territory.

There is no alcohol on or around BYU campus, but there is a lot of stuff happening on campus, so you never have to worry about not having anything to do at night.

Night life is usually visiting other apartments. Single student housing has visiting hours for member of the opposite sex (9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Fridays). There's not too much to do after 10 or 11 p.m. unless you like to play in the park. There are some dance clubs, but not too many (Salsa Chocolate near the school, Studio 600 in Salt Lake City about 40 minutes away).

Well, there isn’t much of a bar scene. Or club scene. There are lots of fun things to do on campus, and the activities are fun, though sometimes it seems like an oversized LDS singles ward. |
FactsClub 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.
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 Listings
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. ComedySportz 36 West Center (801) 377-9700
What to Do if You're Not 21
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.
