Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

I enjoyed the time I spent at BYU-I. The best thing about it was that the faculty at BYU-I teach students not subjects. I had the opportunity to learn from professors who taught in many different areas. However, they were united in their goal of putting students first. I never felt like a number, rather I was seen as an individual. It was easy to get help from professors both in and outside of class. I left BYU-Idaho with a great education, but more importantly I left with the ability to continue a life of learning.

My professors genuinely care about my education.

It is a beautiful a campus. There is a strong sense of unity here. It is a small enough campus that it only takes you about 15-20 minutes to get from one side of the campus to the other. There is a 3-track system which allows you to go to school for 3 semesters instead of only 2 per year, so you can get your schooling done quicker.

The dating life is very good at the school. There is a very high Girl to guy ratio which makes it a good environment for meeting lots of new people and having a good college experience while still living a resposible life. This is due to the rules of the school that forbid intercourse before marriage which allows people to really get to know each other and encourages the tradional family life after graduation so that students can give back to their communities.

Well honestly I brag about everything. I love how everyone on campus is so friendly. I have made so many of my friends just walking home from class. I'm not afraid to talk to a complete stranger I meet. I love that the class sizes are small so I can develop a relationship with my teachers. All my teachers and faculty members I work with know my name and are always very helpful. The other thing I love is that there is always an enriching, fun activity going on on campus and the activities offered are never unreasonably priced.

The quality of education that I get for the cost that I pay. At my shcool, BYU-Idaho, you receive a very good quality education at a relatively low cost.

I brag that BYU, ID is cheap but has good professors, good apartments, a beautiful campus, and lots of men.

I cannot say enough about the general good feeling throughout the campus. Students and faculty alike are friendly and helpful, and genuinely kind. Professors are intelligent and push students to perform to the best of their ability. They are available and more than willing to do anything they can to help students succeed. The campus grounds are beautifully landscaped, and very well kept, and the campus itself has been recently renovated, with all the latest amenities.

This is one of the cheapest universities out there. It's totally worth the money.

the boy/girl ratio is about 2/5

On campus is the safest environment I've ever been in. Women can go jogging at three in the morning and be completely safe. Because of the rules about men and women going into each other's apartments there are almost no inappropriate or uncomfortable situations. All students will still encounter uncomfortable situations but they are not nearly as awkward or downright disturbing as in other schools with no rules about personal behavior; and all couples can still have a fun courtship without being overly physical before marriage.

Everyone is upbeat and ready to learn! Also everyone is willing to participate and help others learn. A big thing that they're are trying to do as a school is to encourage us as the students to become the teacher. There is a big advantage to this, we are listening and learning but also learning leadership and social skills. Plus we are helping others out by participating and getting more into discussion. There is a good spirit about BYU-Idaho!

The great opportunities that are given to us as students and as members of the church. As well as the location.

I tell people of the opportunity I have to go to a school where the student to teacher ratio is smaller and your teacher are actually willing to help you. Even though people might only think of Idaho as a potatoe state it is more than that, a community that looks out for one another.

How much fun I can have in Idaho. They usually don't believe me, but it really is fun.

I tell them that BYU-Idaho has one of the best illustration programs anywhere. And that the friends I make here don't pressure me to do what I don't want to. Most of us here are here with common goals and interests because we almost all share the same religious background and a love of Jesus Christ, so we call get along really well. (Speaking of the entire school). I feel comfortable, like I belong here. This place is more a place of learning, and not a place of parties.

When I brag to my friends about my school, I like to tell them that I get to attend a school that not only provides a great education, but is also spiritually uplifting. I have heard many people talk of the "Spirit of Ricks" but I never fully understood what that meant until I actually got here. BYU Idaho is a place to learn, grow and become a better person. It is full of opportunities to learn from inspired teachers and be influced by the thoughts and opinions of other students.

I love telling them about how much fun the students at my university have. There is always something going on the weekends and even during the week, too. Yellowstone is only 1.5 hours away, there's camping and hiking and the area is beautiful. I love the small town it is located in because I've never lived anywhere like it before. I brag about my major and double minor and the career path that I have found at this university. I have made amazing, long lasting friendships and I have found a greater confidence in myself.

What I brag most about is the amazing atmosphere of my school. Everyone there loves where they are and they education they are receiving. Almost evey student love to participate in class discussions and that really helps other students to learn from them. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. It was really nice when I got there at first. The great stmosphere made for a really smooth transition.

When I tell my friends about the school I attened, I brag about the tuition cost, the one-on-one help from the professors, and the free tutoring that is available. I also brag about the schools love for the humanities and the arts which inspire and lift the human mind into heavenly spheres.
