About Orem, Utah
Orem is a city in Utah County, Utah, United States, in the north central part of the state. At one time the area was known as Sharon, a Biblical name for a mostly level strip of land running between mountains and the sea, and the name of the Vermont birth town of Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Oremfest is an annual, multi-day summer festival that has included different activities over the years, but most recently has featured a charity golf tournament, pool party, outdoor concert, volunteer opportunities, car show, and parade.

The payoff is less clear-cut here — weigh the debt against the earnings and your intended field before borrowing heavily.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
