Enjoy All Four Provo Seasons At Sparks II Apartments

Hello! Welcome to the Sparks II Apartments BYU student housing blog.

Did you know that BYU not only has students from all 50 states, but that 6% are international students?1 New students who may not be familiar with the Provo, Utah climate need to know that there are four distinct seasons here and they should pack accordingly.

Autumn is beautiful in Provo as temperatures ease to a comfortable level and the leaves change, giving the surrounding mountains their spectacular fall colors. Winters are snowy and cold, and you’ll find the thermometer dropping below freezing, so sweaters and coats are a necessity (and don’t forget to experience the ‘Greatest Snow on Earth’ during the winter months).

May is the rainiest month during the Provo Spring, but quickly dries out in June. The majority of Summer days in Provo register over 97 degrees, which makes it a great time for BYU students to explore the nearby canyons with their cooler temps.

The air in Provo is dry, so BYU students coming from humid climates may find that they need to use lotion more frequently. The dry air also cools quickly after sundown, so warm Provo days can turn into chilly nights.

I’m Connie Meyers, and as the manager at Sparks II Apartments I want all BYU students to enjoy their college experience.

Sparks II Apartments offers BYU-approved, off-campus housing at an affordable price. We are within walking distance to BYU campus (provided you’re dressed appropriately for the season!) and we have apartments from 2 to 3 bedrooms.

Whether you are a local or international student looking to move to off-campus Provo housing next semester, I hope you will consider Sparks II Apartments. If you have any questions, call me at 801-371-6500 or visit us on the web at http://sparksapts.com/ where you can take a virtual tour and even complete an online housing application.

Stress Reduction For Sparks II Apartments BYU Students

Stress Reduction For Sparks II Apartments BYU Students

Life as a BYU student can be stressful. Living away from home for the first time, essays, midterms, labs, dating; all of this can add up to a lot of stress and anxiety for Provo students. So today in the Provo student apartments blog we want to provide you with a few tips to keep your stress levels low.

When it comes to managing stress for Provo students, don’t neglect the basics. Keep your body healthy by eating a balanced diet and exercising. And just because you’re in college doesn’t mean you can’t get a decent night’s sleep. When you make regular bedtime a priority, your stress will be easier to handle.

Practice good time management and organization. Any student with a full class load at BYU will need to figure out the best way to keep track of all those due dates and deadlines.

When it comes to your social life, try finding a time when you can be around friends without talking about school and its stresses. You might have to set some ground rules, but a few hours a week with light-hearted conversation can go a long way to recharge your batteries.

And while friends are great, alone time is important too. Find a quiet place, indoors or in the beautiful Provo outdoors, where you can clear your mind and calm your thoughts.

I’m Connie Meyers, the manager at Sparks II Apartments apartments where we provide BYU students with cost effective off-campus housing in Provo that’s BYU approved. We are located at 999 East 450 North in Provo.
