Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

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.
