Yep! The Fall 2011 semester statistics show that 31 students said they were either Jewish or Baha'i (these faiths shared a category). Another 165 students did not give their religious preference, so some of these could be Jewish as well. The numbers change each semester, but in the past ten years at least a handful of students have identified as Jewish.
Utah is home to the University of Utah, Utah State University, and Brigham Young University.
Yes. There was a movie made about Brigham Young (Titled: Brigham Young).
If you are accepted to BYU they will mail you an acceptance letter just like any other university.
I could not find any information that connected Brigham Young to any German settlers.

While these schools are owned by the church, students of any faith are welcome, so long as they agree to adhere to the school's Honor Code. A religion class is also required to graduate.

Brigham Young isn't known for inventing anything. Some say that he started the first department store, ZCMI, but he didn't invent any new devices or objects.
I don't know if you could say that she worked with Brigham Young, but she met with him and he agreed to let her continue running her boarding house in downtown Salt Lake City because of the honesty and integrity of her family. She did so because Brigham Young had encouraged Mormons to not do any business with people who were not members of the Church, which threatened to close down her business.
Brigham Young did not start any religions. He was the second leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) which was founded by Joseph Smith, Jr. He led the Mormons from Illinois to Utah after Joseph Smith was murdered.
From 1840 until his death, Brigham Young married a different woman each year on his birthday. By doing this, he ensured himself a young hottie to sleep next to and wasn't forced to grow old with any ONE particular wife.
No, that would be impossible. Females cannot be castrated, because castration is the act of removing the testicles. Testicles are only found on male genitalia. Brigham Young would not have supported any act which prevented an individual from being able to "multiply and replenish the earth", and certainly would not allow any of his children to undergo such a procedure unless it was intended as a life-saving operation due to cancer or infection.
You can look up free online classes on the internet or look at your local library. Brigham Young University also offers some free online classes to students. Some local universities also offer free night classes to working mothers.
