I go to BYU, and I find it to be a very positive environment.  I don't know that it is necessarily "better" for Mormons than other schools, but it does provide a positive environment for faith and it helps people live their religion.  It is an amazing opportunity to learn gospel principles along side temporal principles and to hear professors bear their testimony of the gospel and to feel your own testimony strengthened.  It is also nice to be around other members of the church, and to grow together.  With that said, I also think that it is important to keep in mind that a person, no matter where they go to school, can have the same kind of experiences that they might have at BYU.  If you're a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you can live your religion wherever you are; it doesn't matter if you are at BYU.  However, being at BYU may make it a little easier to do so.  \n\nAs far as Utah being suffocating, I'm not sure about that.  I like it here.  I wouldn't neccesarily like to live here, but it's a nice place to go to school.

I'm told by some iron workers here in Las Vegas that some of the large buildings here have a lot of space between floors. It is a safety feature to help slow fires if they get started

Utah is very different than Texas.  I am sure you know that now. You have been blessed with a large family and  I am sure there will be someone who will help you get back home.

The above answer is exactly right. I'm a Mormon (not as active with it as some people though) who lives in Utah outside the Salt Lake area. If you're Mormon I'm sure you'll love it, but if not you'd be okay as long as you don't mind Mormons and can be okay working and associating with them. Salt Lake City itself is a little more diverse than areas like Provo and Logan, so it's kind of nice that way. Politics in Utah, as far as I can tell, are entirely controlled by the LDS Church. The schools are decent, not the nation's best, but not the worst by any means. I'd say if you can deal with Mormons and their ideas, you'll be fine in Utah. And the Mormons who are sincere in their beliefs will still associate and be friendly to you even if you aren't interested in joining their faith. Utah is a nice, beautiful place to live with a lot of cool people, and I wouldn't let the LDS (Mormon) church be a factor in not moving to Utah. Plus the whole state is really anti-smoking and I love that!!!

It's because they can't inhale and exhale at the same time. ;)

Could be. Then it could be a number of things like stress. You'll be surprised what being stressed can do to you.

Utah has a very diverse economical base, with Mining, Construction, and Manufacturing being key elements.  This link should help with some of your questions:\n\nhttp://business.utah.gov/business/relocating/economy.html\n\nGood luck!

When I see a vagrant, I remember quickly that most of us are less than 1 month away from being forced into that situation.  People are homeless for a variety of situations.  Alot of people have mental health issues, and lets face it, this country horribly fails at taking care of its own.

Well, that is a prime example of synchronicity that you just stated. You could have put a hex on him. As much as I'd like to have a drink with you, I'm not in Utah, so I can't.

Yes, that is going on here in Utah too. Over the weekend police were ever pulling people over who were hispanic & asking them for papers. it's awful & it's seperating so many families who depend on these people.

very many do. though some homeless will not go to this places because they do not want to hear the word of God. use to help at a shelter and talked to people they do not want to hear about it. also during bad snow storms many city govt. lobbies  are open .
