UVU Campus
An institution that educates more Utahans than any other university, Utah Valley University has evolved rapidly from a small institution with a few hundred students learning wartime trades on the old Provo fairgrounds. The campus has sites in Heber, Canyon Park, Capitol Reef, Saratoga Springs, and elsewhere, but the main campus in Orem is a great place to spend a day of learning.
