Utah in general has always been such an amazing place to live. I have lived in Provo for over 20 years and have loved it from the beautiful mountains and the great school programs and job opportunities that come, especially for a student. There are 2 major universities within 5 miles of Provo and with the wide student variety there are job openings constantly. Provo is an incredibly safe place to live for a city of its size and much more affordable than other places I have looked at. The biggest thing that I would like to see change is the minimum wage for Utah to rise and to fix the bus system (they are already working on the latter!) I would highly recommend Provo for younger generations and Utah for anyone!
Provo itself is a beautiful, cozy and very safe place to live. My experience in Provo has overall been a great experience. It has a variety of healthy and delicious food options, has historical sights and beautiful history in the town center, not to mention the BEAUTIFUL LDS temple that was recently build next to the NuSkin building. Provo is located close to the freeway for easy access to traveling and is a relatively clean city. The people are very friendly and respectful of the place that they live. That being said, Provo is a college town! Despite the high amount of college students, Provo has still been able to maintain a good name, positive environment, growth mindset and a fun place to live. I'd love to see more updated parks added to the city, though there are many old parks and also many running trails and hiking trails that make it a great place for a diverse group of individuals.
I'm from Antioch California and I have to say it just feels a lot more friendly, welcoming, and safer here. I will still lock my car at night and have my usual protective routines, but overall just a better vibe. It's so affordable here and as much as Utah is known for not much of night life to offer, Provo honestly does a pretty good job with entertainment. They have tons of restaurants throughout Provo, downtown has some fun spots such as karaoke, comedy sports, bars, dancing, chocolate tasting, and so much more. Traffic really sucks downtown so I do try to avoid going through that as much as possible if I can, but if I can't I just make sure to drive extra careful there. Lots of out of town-ers such as myself;)!
