Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

As I think about this question, bad things don't really come into mind about my school.

I would have to say that the worst thing about BYU-Idaho is the weather. Rexburg is in a harsh desert climate and especially in the winter campus is blanketed in a thick blanket of snow. For those that come from places that do not experience cold temperatures, hovering around 20 degrees Fahrenheit during the day; it is a hard adjustment to make. The climate does make it possible, for those that enjoy extreme outdoor sports, for great snowboarding and skiing slopes qute close to campus.

Brigham Young University Idaho has a system called the "track system." The track system was created to allow more students to attend during the school year but it only allows students to attend two semesters per year. When each student is admitted, they are assigned a track. For example, my track is called Spring/fall. Therefore I am only allowed to attend in the spring and fall semester. This system makes it harder to graduate faster.

One of the worst things is that there are very few stores near campus. It makes it difficult to go buy groceries if you do not have a car. However, if one of your roommates has a car, you can always go with them and it works just as well. Also, there is the cafeteria on campus that provides a good variety of healthy foods, so you can always do that for meals instead of buying your own groceries and making your own meals.

I can't wear flip flops, they are considered to casual.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of diversity. Everyone that attends BYU-Idaho is a member of the LDS church. While I as a student still maintain my individuality, it is difficult to not be exposed to totally opposite points of view. I call it the Mormon bubble. The entire world isn't Mormon and I think it is important for me to learn to interact well with other adults of other faiths.

The worst thing about the school so far, in the 2 weeks that i've been here, is that they have just recently updated the registraition, and I-learn online website, which makes it difficult to figure out your standing in the school in regaurd to grades, classes, and schedule. Although not a big problem, it was frustration trying to get registered in time for classes. Overall the schol is very good.

To be perfectly honest, I don't have anything that would be the worst. I really love this school. It is perfectly in line with my beliefs, goals, and personality. If you are self-disciplined are willing to follow the rules, you will love BYU-Idaho.

The worst thing about this school would probably have to be the size of the town that the school is in. The reason I would say this is because there isn't a lot to do here so it puts a lot of pressure on the school.

The worst thing about my school is the ice and snow. Yes the snow is very pretty, but it is also extremely cold. The school does have employees that go around shoveling the snow off the sidewalks and roads, but occasionaly there is still a patch of ice somewhere which looks, very deceptively, like a small pile of snow. So slipping and injuring yourself is an issue. Also, because most of the classes are in seperate buildings and the student has to walk to each building to get to the class, the student is usually frozen upon arrival.

The worst thing is about Brigham Young University-Idaho some teachers allow students to get away with certain things and get better grades then they deserve. not all classes need to be extremely difficult, but I wished some teachers were more strict and expected more of their students.

I can honestly say there is not one thing that I dislike about my school.

The worst thing about this school is that it is its own little bubble. The culture and lifestyle students live are completely different and alien to anyone that has not attended an LDS school. Once you step into that bubble, it is like stepping into a completely different world and I feel that anyone who is not of the LDS faith may feel uncomfortable or pressured to be something they are not. The school has an Honor Code and the students and faculty follow it strictly so a prospective student would be adivsed to review it before applying.

The worst thing about BYUI is the cold, but it's not so bad if you dress right. It's worth it to be at such an awesome place!

The worst thing about this school is the harsh winters, the cold is simply unbearable!

the fact that it's racially imbalanced. i want more people from different lacations other than the western side of the US. It would just be nicer to have more diversity to have more people like you to relate to.

I think the worst thing about BYU-I is the cultural diversity. The campus is mainly white with very few other ethnic groups. This is primarly because of the religious background, but I believe the school would benefit from more diversity.

the campus could be bigger and more teachers so that more people could attend. this way no one has to miss out on the experience that you gain attending BYU-I.

I think that the worst thing about our school is that it is too cold here in the winter, and sometimes teachers dont take the time to help and answer questions.

The city its in. It is basically a small town with a university in it. This makes it difficult to find work and if you do, it's not going to pay much more than minimum wage.
