BYU College Date Ideas

My little brother just started college at BYU and I am so excited for him! It is such a fun atmosphere and there is so much to do. He has a pretty hard freshman schedule in mechanical engineering and if I had his schedule my freshman year I don't think I'd have much time to go on a date let alone plan one. So today I had fun brainstorming some date ideas to send him (he didn't ask me to) and I got carried away looking online too. I thought I'd post some of my favorite findings for future reference. I plan on surprising my husband with a few of these date ideas someday.
