By Marina McNairy
January 24, 2020 12:00 AM
Like most BYU students, 20-year-old English major Katherine Tew didn’t anticipate having an animal for a roommate. Tew would come home to the sound of restless barking from behind her roommate’s locked door. The roommate would keep her registered emotional support dog in her bedroom daily while she attended classes and work.

Newly married Dillon and Riley Larson were ecstatic after the homeowner of small Provo house that they found online agreed to rent them out the property for the fall and winter.

It's summer semester and resident assistants in many Provo apartments finds themselves up to their heads in stress.

Letter: Fending for yourself

August 10, 2012 12:00 AM
All this talk of 'mind the gap' and 'the homeless period' really have me wondering: just whose responsibility is it to ensure BYU students have someplace to live between terms? In the real world, people are expected to fend for themselves between housing contracts. It stinks that many contracts in Provo fall on the same time schedule. BYUSA President and Vice President Brandon and Jessica 2012 promised an attempt at addressing the issue, but aside from minor reforms I doubt how much they can actually impact the current system. It's problematic to be homeless for two weeks, but when else would complexes clean the carpets and make much needed repairs (hint, hint, Provo landlords). At the very least, BYU Housing should mandate that no contract expires before the end of finals. Who knows if the Provo housing problem will ever disappear, but in the meantime, here are a few ideas for how to 'mind the gap.'
