BYU recommends all freshmen live in on-campus housing, including those who are 19 and older. Below are some options:

• Helaman Halls is traditional board and room style living, and requires the purchase of a meal plan.
• Heritage Halls is apartment-style, including a kitchen, so the purchase of a meal plan is optional.
• Riviera is apartment-style living for continuing residents and those who turned 19 prior to January 1. The purchase of a meal plan is optional.
• Wyview Park is apartment-style living for returning residents and those who turned 19 prior to January 1. The purchase of a meal plan is optional.

On-Campus Housing will send students a message on housing.byu.edu regarding conctracting a few weeks after they receive their letter of acceptance.

More about Off-Campus Housing

To park on campus, you must register your vehicle. There are a few free parking lots available to students, or you can pay $60/semester for “Y” parking (typically located closer to campus). On-Campus residents don’t need to pay the fees, but do need to register their vehicle!

Register Your Car

The Ryde is a BYU contracted bus that picks up students from BYU housing locations and drops them off at the heart of BYU campus. The Ryde runs twice an hour from various locations, and is free for all students.

Any bike that is ridden or parked on campus should be registered with a bike license. BYU accepts any Utah County city bike license.

You can walk from one end of BYU to the other in about 20 minutes. BYU tries to be self-contained, providing grocery stores, restaurants, and even dry cleaning on campus. Within minutes, you can walk anywhere you need to be! If you are walking in the dark, consider launching & using The Safewalk Program. Through this program, you can have a friendly BYU police officer escort you home or track your route to make sure you reach your destination safely. This is a feature on the BYU app.
