Give and Take: Expenisve Apartments, Close to Campus

While some off-campus housing is actually closer to the classrooms than is some on-campus housing, the prices are relatively high. Off-campus Provo is a little aged and the homes and apartments do show years of use by students. For what you pay, you could definitely find nicer if it weren't for being so close to campus. The farther from campus you get the better the selection, but then again you are farther from campus. Give and Take.

Lowerclassmen

Most of the apartments are similar in setup, with three rooms and one bathroom area with two toilets, two showers, and two sinks. There are options for a single room, but the majority of students opt to have shared rooms because of the lesser cost. The higher-priced apartments usually have more options for shared rooms and more modern appliances and design, as well. Typically, women’s housing is better kept than men's housing. But all student-approved housing has regular "clean checks" that ensure students are keeping their apartments clean. The apartments also enforce the Honor Code when students sign their semester/two-semester contract. Students can also save a little money by signing a contract for two semesters instead of one.

Apartment Hunting Skills Needed.

There are lots of housing options for BYU. Finding a desirable apartment isn't instantaneous. It will take a little time to find the right place but you'll find what you are looking for. The prices are reasonable. You'll find some management to be a little hard to work with but it's hard to find the perfect landlord who will be "cool" but still strict enough to keep the apartments running smoothly.
