Hi, I’m going to byu this next year and I’m quite scared. Is there anything I should know? Also, I’m toying with the idea of going back into the closet just to make it easier in class and around extended family, because I know going to byu will hurt, but maybe I can make it hurt less? Idk, I’d just really appreciate some sort of response about this because you seem like the kind of person that can give a knowledgeable response. Ty for reading :)

Let me begin by saying my BYU student days are long ago and most of what I share is what I’ve learned from students the past few years or from when I visit campus and speak to people.

————————————————————

I know people who've been out but went back into the closet for reasons like going to BYU or moving to a new ward. And after experiencing what it's like to be out, being back in the closet the second time is a tougher experience. They recognize they are suppressing themselves.

I understand your desire to go back in the closet and how it gives you the opportunity to come out to roommates and friends after you test the water, maybe ask them questions and get a sense of their level of acceptance.

An alternative to going back into the closet is find an apartment with another queer person living there. If you know some queer BYU students, ask them to help you find housing with a queer roommate. If you don't know any queer BYU students, perhaps some will read this and message you, or I can contact a few for you.

————————————————————

The Out Foundation partners with Flourish Therapy to provide therapy for free to queer BYU students. I've only heard good things about Flourish, other than there's typically a wait list and may take weeks/months to get seen and assigned a therapist.

There's also CAPS, the university's counseling & psychological center, and I believe they're included in your student fees, so no additional costs to meet with their counselors. I've also heard good things from queer students who seek help from here.

————————————————————

USGA is the off-campus group for queer BYU students & their allies. They meet at the Provo library (the old BYU Academy bldg). They meet weekly and have activities. I highly recommend. This is a chance to meet other queer people in a situation similar to you. USGA may also be a route to find a queer roommate.

————————————————————

If you find that BYU is too much and you need to transfer, The Out Foundation might assist. Last year they raised money to help queer students transfer from BYU after the Honor Code change fiasco. They have a guide to transferring. It's better to get a degree from UVU than to be depressed and suicidal at BYU. Plus the name of the institution you graduate from will follow you the rest of your life and people will assume things about you based off of where you went.

————————————————————

Caleb Stewart put together this map to Gender Neutral Bathrooms on BYU Campus

————————————————————

At BYU, your ward will assign you into FHE groups, often it's 1 or 2 men's apartments and 1 or 2 women's apartments assigned together. 

Here's the thing, FHE isn't mandatory for your ecclesiastical endorsement, so skip it if going makes you cringe. There's a social aspect of going to college, and many find FHE contributes to that. 

If you have roommates, they may pressure you to go, but tell them you have class/study group or your going to your parents' house or whatever excuse you want.

————————————————————

If you want to avoid a calling, there's a couple strategies. Don't draw attention to you the first 3 weeks of school, that's when most callings are extended, maybe go to a friend's ward. If possible, leave your records in your home ward for 2 or 3 weeks until the big rush of callings is over.

You can avoid your BYU ward only a few times because you will need the bishop to renew your ecclesiastical endorsement. Elders Quorum and Relief Society are where your attendance will be taken.

If you really don't want a calling, you can decline the calling. Some callings are more demanding than others.

————————————————————

The school network used to be monitored, or had software that blocked certain sites, I don’t know what the current situation is. Until you know, be careful what stuff you access on the school network. Things that come across as anti-Mormon may be noticed and get flagged. 

————————————————————

A different strategy would be to tell shame to take a hike and hang up a rainbow Pride flag when you first move in. If your roommates ask (which they probably will), you can choose to say you're an ally or you are queer. You make the move to indicate this is going to be a queer-safe space.

If they really are uncomfortable with the idea of living with someone who is queer or an ally, they may try to transfer to a different apartment. And if so, good move as it will remove a hostile person from your life.

————————————————————

Ben Schilaty is a gay man who works in the BYU Honor Code office. Arranging to go by his office to introduce yourself and ask him for advice on how to have a better time at BYU is a good idea. His position is to enforce the Honor Code, so you can ask him about what is or isn't allowable at BYU, but don't go confessing things because he is a school official and would have to take action.

Blake Fisher is a gay man who works as an inclusion advisor in the Office of Student Success and Inclusion. He's worth a visit to see what steps BYU is taking to include queer students. He likely will have some advice on how to be successful as a queer student.

You'll probably be surprised by the number of faculty who are allies and display a rainbow or trans flag outside their office door. One faculty member I would recommend meeting is Roni Jo Draper. She was head of PFLAG in Provo, and is on the board of the ACLU. She'll likely be able to recommend other professors who are queer-friendly.

————————————————————

You can generally have a good time at BYU. However, anytime you mention queer topics, there's the possibility someone will overhear and respond negatively. You never know when a queerphobic talk will be given at church or a bigoted comment made in class. Feeling like you may experience these things at any time can make a person feel a bit paranoid and that they need to be careful.

————————————————————

While individual professors may call out people who make such comments in your class, don't expect the administration to take your side. In questions of personal dignity versus someone who claims they're defending church doctrine, the personal dignity of queer people gets sacrificed every time.

————————————————————

There are opportunities, such as volunteering at Encircle House or running for USGA leadership, that give you an opportunity help better the lives of queer people, and that is a fantastic feeling to know you're making a positive difference.

————————————————————

A recent poll found 13% of BYU students identify as LGBTQIA. Queer students are there and if you can find some, they'll introduce you to others. Being at BYU as a queer student can feel isolating, but you're not alone. Finding other queer students is very helpful. That group of students are generally very loving and supportive because they know what it's like.

————————————————————

As BYU is not an affirming, welcoming place for LGBTQIA students, it is up to you to build yourself a support network. This includes faculty who are allies that you can talk with, finding other queer students with whom you can talk about the ignorant things you have to deal with, USGA where you can hang with other queer students, and so on. 

Also monitoring your mental health is important because there's an ongoing low-level of stress that goes with being a queer student at BYU. If you need help, get into CAPS or Flourish and look at the possibility of transferring to another school, you may qualify for in-state tuition depending on several factors.

The Rental Dilemma

The Rental Dilemma

            Imagine you are a home service provider; whether it be a plumber, an electrician, an HVAC technician, or even a handyman. You show up to a home close to Brigham Young University. When you get to the home, you notice that the house is older and slightly rundown. When you enter the home, you find six residents that are all students at BYU. They all have a small cough and look slightly sick. They explain that they have a problem in the back bathroom. When you walk through the house, you can’t help but notice broken down chairs, pieces of floor tile missing, and stained carpet. When you arrive at the bathroom, you notice that the shower is leaking water out the spout, shower head, and even the handles. Looking around you notice that the toilet isn’t bolted to the floor so every time it flushes, sewer water spews out the base. The vanity is also leaking and is unstable. Because most these issues weren’t addressed sooner, mold continues to develop on the walls and the ceiling.

           When you notice these issues, you call the landlord to explain the situation and tell him what needs to be fixed. When you start to explain that these issues could potentially be the reason why his tenants are coughing and looking sickly, you are surprised to find that he doesn’t seem to care. You explain that if he doesn’t address the mold issue and water leaks, he could potentially be putting these kids in an environment that could cause respiratory issues for the rest of their lives. (Bush) To which he replies: “I don’t care, they’re just students!”

           This situation may sound exaggerated or like something out of a third world country, but it is a true scenario of something that I have personally encountered as a plumber. When I expressed my sincere concern for the health and well-being of these students, he had absolutely no desire to do anything more than the absolute minimum to stop the shower from spraying out the handles. In the end, I refused to do the work, explaining that I could not look at the conditions these students were living in and do the bare minimum for his profit at the expense of his tenants’ health.

           Some people may argue that this is most likely an unusual circumstance that you would rarely find. In reality, it is all too common. We have multiple technicians that have very similar accounts of students living in these 3rd world types of environments. I have personally had landlords refuse to clean up basements filled with raw sewage where students are living and instead opt for renting a carpet cleaner. I watched students walk barefoot through sewage for hours collecting their personal belongings while their landlords sat around refusing to do anything.  In one situation, I told the landlord that I was calling a restoration company because it was that bad. When the company talked to him about what the cost was going to be with his insurance, he said that he wanted to do a cash out and put the claim money towards his house in Florida instead of using it to fix the sewage back up.

           These landlords that pollute the Provo area are often referred to as “Slumlords” in our company. They are only in it for the money, renting poor quality living conditions to students that are being taken advantage of. When I have asked these tenants privately why they live in these situations, I always got the same answer: “It’s BYU approved.”

           From these comments that I’ve heard regularly, I wondered how these housing situations where supposedly BYU approved. One situation involved me doing a home inspection for a house that was previously BYU approved. When I finished my inspection, I concluded that the house was better off being destroyed and rebuilt because the water and drain systems were barely intact. After informing the potential buyer of my concerns, he bought the house anyway because of the coveted BYU housing contract. Now, we service the house on a routine basis for flooding. The rules for BYU housing are clear. You must register the property, and even have a business license to rent out to students. (Housing) But somehow, I believe landlords can hold contract status even though that status was granted a very long time ago.

           Through my experiences renting from different situations in Provo (not ever actually being a BYU student) I found a lot of inconsistencies. Here is an example from an interview I had with one of my landlords named Daren. I lived in a home only about 3 blocks away from BYU campus. I had lived and worked at different places and were much further away but technically considered BYU approved. My landlord, Daren, had purchased a home close to campus with the intention of letting his kids live there while they attended BYU. After purchasing the home, he contacted BYU housing authority to do an inspection to see what needed to be changed to get it up to BYU contracted housing standards. After doing the walk through, Daren went to work spending tens of thousands of dollars to completely gut and renovate the entire basement so it would meet these standards. This required putting in two bathrooms, replacing windows, changing wall locations and door placements entirely. On top of that, he had to install separate air systems for heating and cooling. Once everything was checked off the list given by BYU housing authority, he had his final inspection to receive his contract status. When they did the final inspection, they concluded that the house was “In too much of a residential neighborhood.” Per the Boundary Map at och.byu.edu, we were well within the designated student housing zone for both the city, and BYU’s contracted housing. But, because they thought it was too “neighborhoody” it was denied.

           The frustration for landlords is overwhelming with situations like this. Your entire investment could be entirely thrown down the drain just because the housing authorities have severe inconsistencies. How is it that I can work in BYU contracted homes that are falling apart five blocks from BYU campus, but live in a very healthy and safe house that was denied because the neighborhood was too residential? Because of these experiences that I have had, I have always wondered: Why does BYU, and Provo have such a strict housing policy, and how does it cause more harm than good?

           Per BYU’s off campus housing website och.byu.edu, BYU wants to create a positive environment for their students while they attend Brigham Young University. The website continues to talk about rules they have against alcohol, drugs, and sexual activity. Throughout the website you will have statistics like “1,194 Landlords maintain BYU contracted housing.” (Housing) From the website, they show how many different landlords they can rent from, but don’t talk too much about the living conditions these landlords must maintain. From what I have personally seen, I am not impressed. The flier on the website advising students on choosing off campus housing talk about what to look for, but rather than explain what would be considered healthy and poor living circumstances, they focus more on the rules that the students must keep if they want to stay at the university. Something worth pointing out was the advertisement that they require all tenants regardless of whether or not they went to BYU to sign a BYU code of conduct forum. These express the rules that every person must follow for any BYU student to live there.

           From the BYU housing website, I realized that the University has good intentions of helping the students live in a safe environment. I know that BYU wants what’s best for the students in making sure that they can feel comfortable and safe. However, I don’t believe that BYU realizes what is going on in these types of situations. If you have ever heard of the saying; “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink,” then you may know what I am talking about. I have been in these housing situations enough to know that these students are going to do whatever they want regardless of what they are asked to sign. One of my roommates at King Henry was a BYU student that lived an active gay lifestyle, and would come home drunk or stoned on a regular basis. BYU hopes that by having students sign some paper, they will suddenly change their behavior. I don’t believe that students that want to engage in these types of activities will suddenly stop because of what they sign. I have seen all sorts of things happen in BYU approved apartments, in parks, and everywhere else.

           I believe that BYU has every right to regulate the types of living conditions that the students can live in. I don’t, however, feel that restricting students to only being able to live in BYU contracted housing is beneficial. The problem is BYU thinks they are helping. But when students are restricted to places that only have a housing contract, they are forced into worse housing conditions out of desperation so they won’t be kicked out of school. If BYU were to require places like apartment complexes to adhere to these housing contracts, but remove bans on houses in general, this would force the quality of living to improve. In most housing industries, US students have become more demanding about the quality of their living situations (Twigg). In my personal situation, I have noticed less health concerns in housing situations the closer I work by Utah Valley University where they don’t require university housing contracts.

           As housing regulations are lifted, the housing market can improve the living conditions for tenants. As I mentioned previously, the closer I work to UVU and away from BYU, the better the student housing living conditions get. Since Orem and UVU are more lenient on their housing requirements for students, there is more competition amongst landlords to gain tenants. Since the competition is greater, landlords are being pushed by demand to improve living conditions and lower costs.

           An article published in the Deseret News talks about the crack down on student housing around Provo City. Provo City is increasing initiative to catch landlords that are violating Provo city housing and zoning laws. (Hardy) Through these crackdowns, Provo officials are hoping that they will be able to improve the quality of living, and their communities for both students and local residents. Although it is true that an increase in quality of living conditions can improve the academic performance of students, (WHO) I believe the Initiative Provo City is taking isn’t the most effective.

           Provo City and BYU are working together to unintentionally create unsafe living conditions for the students that they serve. Because BYU housing is so heavily, yet inconsistently, regulated, they are putting students in difficult situations. Students shouldn’t have to be forced to pay astronomical prices to live in poor living conditions that could affect both their health, and their academic performance. (Bush, WHO) As I have stated earlier, if BYU and Provo City really want to help their students, release students from the BYU housing regulations that are acting as shackles that chain them to these third world prison-like living conditions. By doing so, you very well could be increasing their academic performance, and more importantly, could be saving their lives.

How To Grocery Shop On A Budget

As a college student, you have a pretty tight budget. You may be saving money by living in off campus housing by UVU, but sometimes it’s still hard to get all the food you want without breaking the bank. Here are a few shopping tips to help you out.

1.    Plan some meals you like and make a shopping list. There are some meals that are a lot cheaper, you can’t exactly have steak every night. You can get some frozen chicken breasts or ground beef and make some pretty good food. Most housing for students by UVU has a kitchen in the apartment, so you at least don’t have to worry about pre-cooked foods.

2.    Buy cheap bulk dry foods like rice and beans. Rice and beans can be one of the cheapest meals, but still delicious and nutritious. Cook the beans with some canned ham and seasonings, and put it on your cooked rice and voila. Everyone else in your UVU off campus housing will smell it and be jealous, no matter how cheap the ingredients were.  

3.    Buy potatoes! A bag of potatoes can be pretty cheap, they stay good for a while if stored properly, and there's a lot you can do with potatoes. Baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, french fries, hash browns, stew, cheesy potatoes; the options are basically endless. If your student housing near UVU has a cool dark pantry, keep your potatoes there so they don’t start growing roots.

4.    Try out canned food. Some canned foods are better than others. Canned peaches and pears are delicious and can be eaten straight out of the can. Canned corn, beans, or other vegetables can be used in tons of different recipes. You may have to do some organizing to find enough shelf space in your UVU student apartment, but it will definitely save some money. Plus it doesn’t go bad for years.  

You may have to get creative with your cooking, but following these four simple grocery shopping tips will help you stretch your grocery budget. As long as you don’t live in a tent, UVU student housing will usually have a kitchen to make the cooking magic happen.
