Leaving home for the first time is quite the experience. A bold step from the safety and comfort of family housing into an independent setting can be challenging for many and downright scary for some. Particularly with the number of young people taking this leap as they enter university or higher education.
It does not have to be a leap into the unknown though. At Utah Valley University, students are being presented with more options than ever before to help the transition. UVU Housing includes off campus housing that can start at as little as $275 per month and has multiple options to meet each student’s needs. They have private one bedroom apartments all the way up to a 3 bedroom apartment to share with other people. There is simply an option for every kind of individual, every budget and every level of social need. They even offer apartments for married couple attending the university. It truly is a model for other schools to emulate.
