The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") doesn't keep track of information regarding where members attend school, but we can approximate by looking at the number of students enrolled at the Institute of Religion run by the Mormon Church at Utah State. There are currently 6000 students enrolled. This is not all Church members attending the university, nor are all the students enrolled at the institute attending the university, but it is a good approximation.
You might be able to get more accurate information by contacting the institute directly.

What is now the state of Utah.
Utah has a remarkable history. Probably the most important event in the history of Utah is the settling of the area by Mormons who moved to escape religious persecution.
Many of what are now the Western United States were settled by "Mormons." You may be referring to Utah, however, which was the primary destination of the move west.
All of them
Westminster University does not release the religious affiliation of their students. Judging by the LDS Institute enrollment numbers, there are quite a few Mormons at Westiminster, but not nearly as many as you will find in other Utah universities.
Utah! the state brigham young founded in the early 1800's. it had started out as a territory, but in the 1880's, it became a state that had banned polygamy, and against common belief, has as many Mormons as not.
"Mormons" are not a state, they are a religion. The Mormons have never been granted statehood, and doing so now would be near impossible as Mormons are scattered all over the globe and come from many different nations.The Mormons did once apply for statehood with the state of Deseret, a large area that covered much of what is now Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. This was not granted by the federal government, who instead drew the state borders we have today. Mormons are credited with postponing Utah's statehood with their practice of polygamy. Mormons abandoned polygamy in 1890, and Utah was finally granted statehood in 1896.
Yes. And many are still there today.
Many different types of people live in the state of Utah. There is a relatively high population of Mormons in this state.
Mormons travelled the Mormon trail to Utah in wagon trains from 1845 to 1869. In 1869 the transcontinental railroad was completed and many Mormons going to Utah began taking the train.
