Orem runs lengthwise from mountains to freeway. It has the large UVU campus on the West side as well as much of the shopping in Utah county with the university mall and many big box shops such as Nordstrom Rack and Best Buy.   The East side has many trails that lead up to Provo Canyon and some really high end neighborhoods such as Canyon Cove and Sklyline that are on the mountain benches.  They also have several language immersion schools for Chinese and Spanish.
