	Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center for Near-Eastern Studies is a study center for Brigham Young University situated on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, Israel.
		The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints finally bought a plot of land on Mount Scopus, and construction for the BYU Jerusalem Center began in 1984.
		Eventually this dispute was settled, and the Center opened to students in 1987, and the building was dedicated for Church use in 1989.

	Brigham Young University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BYU is wholly owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the church provides it with a large subsidy from Latter-day Saint funds, providing roughly 70% of the cost of education at BYU.
		BYU was once the largest private university in the United States, but has since been surpassed by the nationwide University of Phoenix (240,000), which has campuses around the world; it remains one of the world's largest church-affiliated universities, with an enrollment of roughly 30,200 undergraduate students during the 2004-05 school year.
		BYU's reputation as a place to court potential mates is well known both within and without the BYU community, and is encouraged to some extent by the school's administrators and ecclesiastical leaders, who publicly highlight "successful" marriage statistics.
