Provo Reviews
Rating 4.01 out of 5 1,566 reviews
Provo is a beautiful area, it's a smaller college town. The people are very friendly, there are lots of stores/restaurants. The university, Brigham Young University, has a beautiful campus and great academics. For a college student, it's a great place to be! The public school system is not highly rated, wish it could be better. Summers are very hot, winters are pretty cold. There are lots of parks everywhere, and the Provo River Trail is a great option for long bike rides, roller blading, etc. There are lots of places to hike, and Provo features some good peaks as well, including Mount Timpanogos. Being in Utah, a lot of people here are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It's a welcoming community. The trax/frontrunner provide easy public transportation to SLC, and the new bus system provides easy public transportation around Provo itself. Overall, a good place to live!
Provo has many college students and offers many things to its residents. This includes restaurants, activities, social scenes, outdoor activities, school, and so much more! You can never get bored here.
I attended Brigham Young University for five years and enjoyed my experience in Provo very much! I always felt safe, and the city is very clean and well-run. The only drawback is that there are few places to eat late and night and parking can be a bit of a struggle. Other than that, everyone is very kind, and accepting, and there is always so much to do! There are multiple National parks close to Provo and many activities to take place when you have free time.
