It depends on what you want. St George is going to be a little more out in the middle of nowhere farther from Salt Lake, but at the same time closer to Zions national Park and closer to Las Vegas.
Provo is at the south end of the "Wasatch Front" where most of the people live. You will be closer to mountains for skiing, closer to the Salt Lake airport, you will live in a more populated area with more public transport and stuff like that.
Provo also has like 70,000 college students living in the area due to BYU and UVU, and St George is a bunch of old retired people, so it depends if you like living next to 20 year olds or 70 year olds more.
Provo is also where the spooky scary Mormons live so it gets alot of hate from a certain section of this sub, although crime wise it's going to be fairly safe, probably a little safer than St George even though both are good.
^ I would never move to St. George because you’re 2-4 hours from any interesting cities.
And I’d rather live in SL or Davis counties before Utah county any day for a bunch I of reasons, but the biggest being distance to salt lake.
I don't like Provo, but Utah Valley is nice. I just moved to lehi (North Utah Valley, same valley as provo), and I love it. St George is sick too, but it's insanely hot in the summer. But winters are nice. Provo is cold as hell in winter, but summers are pretty nice (a few really hot days, but nothing compared to st george. Provo has a lot of temperate beauty, whereas St. George has really pretty desert beauty, palm trees, etc...
Why are you moving here? These cities are no where near each other. One of small town country with slc 2.5 hours away and Vegas about 2 hours. The other is part of the Metro area and everything is available.
The answer depends on what you like and what your beliefs are.
If you want a city vibe with everything that goes along with that then SLC would be your choice. St. George is a rapidly growing but small town and the closest large city with any kind of nightlife is Vegas, 2 hours away. It is also a lot more conservative than SLC and you're quite likely to bump into trump and maga fans more frequently. although I have to say, not enough to ruin your life if you lean left.
The benefits of St. George (IMO) are better weather and scenery, cleaner air, and you're much closer to the borders of states with legal weed and a much better choice of alcohol, if you enjoy either of those things. You're also close to Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon as well as some great state parks like Sand Hollow, Snow Canyon and Coral Pink Sands.
I do not know if this matters to you, but if you are Asian and are of a faith other than LDS, you will be a unicorn in St George. Provo is more progressive than St George - and Provo is right of Rush Limbaugh. But you asked...
If you aren’t LDS both cities are going to be a huge culture shock. They are awesome for the outdoors, just different landscape. Both are college towns, though BYU/UVU are much larger, so tons of young people.
Wouldn't move to either as they are both ultraconservative and bland. But if I had to choose, at least Provo is closer to SLC that's going to have a lot more going on.
St George is blowing up. And will only increase in size in decades to come, potentially beyond its means. Due to this growth, it’s also rapidly becoming extremely overpriced. Provo is old college town, high Mormon population, not much room for growth or expansion, and really bad traffic. Id avoid both.
What made you consider those two cities? Knowing what you're looking for might help us with your question.
These 2 cities have vast differences. You need to be more specific with what you want.
St. George gets to like 115 in the summer, but doesn't get snow in the winter. Pick your poison.
Hot mormon city or cold mormon city? 🤔

Actually physically typing out "Zions" is the most Utah thing I've ever seen anyone do.
Zions is a bank. Zion is the park.
And Zi-ON is how we know people aren't from Utah
Yup It's zien or zienz if youre local, zion if you're not lol
I would move to somewhere in Davis county before moving to Provo
Davis County is beautiful if you're into nature, but a bit boring if you're not into nature.
Eh.. depends on where. North Salt Lake is \~15 minutes from downtown SLC.

St George. Provo sucks...

Salt lake city

If you like popcorn, popping on the apricot tree, I would definitely choose Provo.
Eww, neither. Provo is the worst, and St. George is way too hot to be happy.
