Sprawled across 560 acres at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, the views from the Brigham Young University are breathtaking. Considered one of the largest private colleges in the country, BYU is operated by the LDS Church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). Students attending BYU must follow a strict honor code in line with LDS teachings. The BYU Cougars, who participate in NCAA Division I, have won 14 national titles. Provo is a terrific city -- it features an Old-West style downtown, spectacular mountain views, and a rugged landscape that keeps residents outside to enjoy activities like hiking and mountain biking. If you want an apartment near BYU and Downtown Provo, look between E 800 N and Center Street in the Joaquin neighborhood. If you want to be near the LaVell Edwards Stadium for football games, look on the north end of campus in the neighborhoods of Pleasant View and Wyview.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
