  Ward (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Single adult members may choose to attend the singles ward or their regular "home" ward; otherwise, the church strongly discourages the regular attendance of, and disallows the transfer of membership records to, regular wards other than the one to which the member's residence is assigned.
Young single adults in an area by a YSA ward who are attending college/university are encouraged to attend the YSA ward rather than the college/university ward, but they have the option of attending either or their "home" ward.
Another issue with singles and YSA wards is that since it is a doctrinal requirement the bishop and his counselors be married[1], these men are called from other wards in the same stake.
