Provo is definitely a college town. There's always something to do here! Everyone is generally very social and kind. But sadly I have noticed there's a very harmful perfectionist culture. Many people come from all over the United States to attend Brigham Young University. It's an extremely competitive school with high moral standards. Now there's nothing wrong with that, but I've noticed how depressed the students tend to get here when they don't measure up. Definitely something that needs to change. Other than that though it's quite pleasant to be here! There are tons of hikes and outdoor activities! Also Sundance is right up the road from Provo! If you're ever in town it's worth the visit!
Provo is a quaint little area with a lot going on. There are a lot of great restaurants, fun activities, and it seems like there is always some sort of fair, market, or concert going on somewhere in Provo. Driving and parking in provo is never fun, and if you're a pedestrian you better watch out! There is a new free bus system that is really convenient for getting around provo quickly without having to worry about parking or driving. Overall, it's a fun place to live, especially for young adults and families who want to live a wholesome lifestyle. Overcrowding and construction do make it difficult to absolutely love Provo though.
Provo is a great town filled with history and stories. I have only lived here for the past year when me and my husband first got married. There are so many little stores and shops that you can easily walk to. It is close to the mountains which is great because they are so beautiful. However I wish there were some changes. There is very little parking in Provo. It is difficult to find a parking spot sometimes because there are so many cars already parked on the sides of the road. That being said when you are trying to make a turn that is not at a light, it is very difficult to see if there is an oncoming car coming. We live close to the train tracks so that can be very loud and annoying at times. Especially when the conductors honk the horn and wake you up at 6 in the morning! But with everything being said Provo is a good place to start a new beginning!
