Enough for many, lacking for some

Logan is nice because it's fairly small, but you have everything you need. 2 hospitals, a small mall, walmart and enough businesses and restaurants to satisfy basic needs. Having Utah State University at Logan's heart is a great intellectual addition, especially with the visually stunning new library just erected. There is a good sized group of international students at USU, and they hold various cultural events which adds some nice diversity to Logan. However, Logan is predominantly LDS (Mormon), and if you do not share the faith you might find Logan very "undiverse," even with the characteristics I mentioned above. During the summer Logan attracts senior citizens, and this brings high-quality shows and events to Logan. The climate tends to be about 5-10 degrees colder, on average, than Salt Lake City, and the inversion is a huge problem. On "red days," when the air quality levels are dismal enough, everyone is encourage to stop driving and take public transportation and asthmatics and elderly are cautioned. Given that the snow and cold weather can last almost into May, winter gets tiresome after awhile. However, things warm up nicely in the summer. Overall, Logan has enough to keep things interesting but not enough to stimulate those accustomed to "city living."
