Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

I am a transfer student. My freshman year I went to a small comunity college, it was one of the hardest experiences of my life. I went through some pretty tough things while I was there. It was so bad I couldn't go back. Then I found BYU-I. I went on a tour there, it had the most amazing feeling to it. The people were warm and welcoming, something about this campus is special. It is completely different from the college I previously attended, it is an uplifting enviroment, it feels like home.

Byu Idaho has something called 'the spirit of Ricks'. It's a religious school and we always say a prayer at the beginning of each class. We live in a very out doorsy place which means that there's a lot of fun things to do! It's not necessarily about compition, but rather helping each other succeed. We are honest and kind. It is rare to find someone that isn't cheerful! I hardly know anyone that doesn't have any friends! Everyone is friends at my school. It's a peaceful place to be and I love it!

Part of tuition is paid for by tithe payers. The atmosphere is always upbeat and friendly. Faculty are very willing to help students outside of the classroom.

This was the furthest and coldest school I considered.

My school is very career oriented and gives a lot of opportunity for internships and career services. They require 2 to 3 internships and they expect every student to make connects with Alumni and other prominent people in your feild. They bring in big companies to interview students and give lectures in order help students make connections and find jobs after they graduate.

I love the small town atmosphere. Everything is in walking distance so I don't have to run my old car down by driving around a bigger town., and hopefully I'll keep off the freshman 15. The teachers are always willing to help you through the class. I love that education is mixed with religion and a majority of the students there share my same values and beliefs.

The tuition is very inexpensive and the education offered is extraordinary! Since BYU-Idaho is a private institution tuition is very affordable. The school offers a lot of opportunities for work on campus and because it is a relatively small university it isn't to hard to find a job. Most of the staff members on campus are students. Also, unlike most universities the atmosphere isn't cutthroat academically. Rather it is an atmosphere that encourages building one another and working as a community to help everyone succeed. There is healthy competition and the students are driven to do well.

The people. Eveyone is so nice here and it is easy to make friends.

The thing I noticed about BYU-Idaho is how welcome I felt immediately. It wasn't too small like my high school, but it also wasn't as big as some other options I was thinking about. It was the perfect size for me, and I knew I would be able to take classes with a better all around teacher to student ratio so I could do better in school.

Because this is a private school run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints there is a different feeling here. There is no alcohol or drug use and that really changes the atmosphere here. We also are able to take religion classes to better know our religion.

The teachers here are amazing and really know their stuff. Because this school is a religion school, you can definitely feel the spirit and it's great because it's a constant thing. The teachers here are great at teaching, telling you what you need to know, and tying our religion into everything. It makes the classes very interesting.

My school has very high standards, yet is fairly easy to get into. We have a 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} acceptance rate, but the education we recieve is extremely important to everyone. Your teachers will help in any way they can. We don't have any sports teams, but we do have inter-mural sports. There are so many ways to help your education here too. We have tutors and study centers and there are many study groups that you can join.

BYU-Idaho has an incredible atmosphere, which is very contagious. Everyone is happy and very friendly. Everyone is very active in school activities and socializing. The classes here are incredible, the professors are very interested in the students and make sure that they understand the material and that the student feels involved.

I LOVE BYU-I. I won't be arrogant enough to say it's for everyone, but the school offers a unique experience, a cheap and quality education and an uplifting student atmosphere that's a lot different from most colleges in a good way. Sure, it has plenty of problems, and there are unsavory elements to the student body and faculty, but the school is a good one. I've only had one semester and I can't wait to get back from my mission and enjoy many more.

We agree to live by certain high standards that set us apart from all the other party schools. We don't drink, stay out till all hours, use drugs, lie or cheat, wear immodest clothing or extreme styles, etc.

Everyone has high standards, and has found a way to acheive their goals. It is small, and possibly the friendliest place on earth. It's just easy to see an attainable, happy future from here.

My school is not a place where the teachers really teach you but where the holy spirit is there to teach you and tell you the truth about what you learn in class. Its a very inspirational place where people are always there to help you learn and help you achieve your goals. My school is a great place where I learn things that can not be taught to me in any other school. My school is a great learning place.

BYU-I is totally centered around the gospel of Jesus Christ; how it can work in our lives and influence our learning. We have a fairly strict dress code, which isn't very hard to follow generally, and everyone is SO nice. It's crazy how you can leave something valuable laying out and get it back in the same condition. You can't find that anywhere else.

My school is not your typical college. Students come there to learn. It is not for the usual college things like partying and drinking. It is small so that classes aren't huge, but it is big enough to get to know a lot of people.

My school is unique in the fact that they look at education in a different appropach. We do not just go to class to listen to lectures that our professors have prepared. We are expected to come prepared and participate in the discussion. We are told that we are all learners and teachers, and are expected to learn from not only our professors but our fellow students . This approach to learning gives us more ownership and responsibility over our educations. We are to activly make our education what we would want it to be.
