Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

Nothing, really.

Small town environment. Not enough degrees offered.

There have been a few incidents that I was involved in where the teacher singled me out in front of the class. It discouraged me from wanted to attend class the rest of the semester. I think that if the teacher needs to discuss something with a student, they need to set up a time for the student to meet with them.

The worst thing about BYU Idaho for me personally, is the religion aspect that is somehow incorporated into every class. Some of the teachers are intolerant in the fact that if you have conflicting views on politics, beliefs, or thoughts they will mark your papers down.

The word "cold" takes on a whole new meaning. Most days are fine, and fairly sunny, but during the coldest months of winter walking outside is like inhaling freon. Before you leave any building you have to mentally prepare yourself for the onslaught of cold wind that will attack you as soon as you step outside. You often wonder if you are going to die before you reach your destination, or if your extremities will require amputation. The Fall, Summer, and Spring are fine... but Winter is a viscious, evil demon waiting to destroy you.

Parking! We don't have enough parking on campus because we are a "walk-on" campus. The idea is good, to keep the students close to the school but there are only so many places to live that are close enough to walk to campus, especially in the winter. Most apartments require a car to get to campus because of the distance. The city has also started requiring parking permits in the communities surrounding the campus, further inhibiting the ability to find parking. Also those city permits are limited to a certain number per year, and its not nearly enough.

The Construction. Half of the school is blocked off.

The worst thing about the school is the infringement on personal life. Students are expected to obey, obey, obey and not challenge or think critically. The school acts as much as a babysitter as a university. Rules are made to help students follow rules which were set in place to keep more rules, which is all very counter-productive to developing a student's rational thinking and decision making abilities.

The worst thing about my school is that the campus is located on a huge hill which, when driving, seems small, but when walking up in -20 degree weather takes a lifetime!

It doesnt have an anthropology major and education majors can only have an education minor, not another one.

The only thing that I dislike about Rexburg Idaho is that shopping and employment is a bit limited. One thing that I wish our campus had is a greater number of major choices. I found a major that I really enjoy, but it did take me a while to decide on something to peruse considering my choices.

People often feel then nedd to fake their way through the righteous principles being taught. Some students spend many precious hours living double lives. Their rebelious stereotype is the worst thing about my school.

12:00 am curfew? Although following it, I end up well rested for classes the next day.

I believe the worst part of the school here is the same as any other school. The construction. It is in a major part of the school so students are forced to go around to get to classes and they will most likely not see the completed building in their time as a student.

To be honest, I cannot think of a single thing that I dislike about my school. This is a surprise coming from me because for years I told myself I was never going to BYU Idaho to live in a "mormon bubble." Now that I am here I could not be more happy with my choice to attend this special institution. It truly is a remarkable place and I am blessed with the opportunity to be here.

The school is marvelous, but there are some issues in adapting to the growing student body. Some classes are in high demand and it can get very competitive when it comes to finding a seat. In addition, while Rexburg is a nice town, it is simply too small for roughly 5,000 students. Finding a job is very difficult and lots of people have struggled to find work while attending school.

The worst thing about my school is the school dances. Every high school is suffering from the so called "freak dancing" epidemic going around, and it will slowly be accepted into normal characteristic of society. People thought it would be alright if they did what everyone else was doing, and no one ever thought twice of how ridiculous and disgusting they looked. Not a single teenager on the dance floor knew the true meaning of dance and could not go through a song without "freaking" on the person next to them.

The snow! Seriously, nothing. The only thing I would say would be the weather in the winter, but seeing that I cannot control that, then it is not a big deal! The internet access could do with a bit of tweaking, seeing that when we're in class and we need internet access while it rarely worked.

Nothing, its a great school for people wanting values, morals, and education in the classroom.
