Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Brigham Young University-Idaho?

Mark

Anyone who doesn't like Mormons or the cold should not attend here. The people here are a ton of fun but a vast majority are deeply religious and will not particapate in drinking or drugs. Its a great place to make friends and have good clean fun, but if you are into a wild nightlife than this school will not float your boat. They have a curfew and an honor code they expect every student to live by, so if you are a hardcore partier than I can guarantee you this is not your school.

Erica

Any lazy person who is not very serious about college and really getting a degree and who doesn't like to do the homework (even when it's practically nothing) should not attend this school.

Lindsey

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school would be someone who doesn't like boundries and rules. Of course everyone is welcome at Brigham Young University Idaho. Here we follow an honor code that we believe helps us create an atmosphere for better learning. But if someone is a little more rebellious and wants a party school, this is not the place for them. Its a very conservative campus with very conservative rules. If you do not follow these rules, then of course you will be kicked out.

A non-Mormon should not attend this school. Neither should anyone who has opinions or a strong desire to pursue a challenging education outside of the Mormon church. It is more of a monastary than a school- too much emphasis is placed on religion and following petty rules and not enough on school and learning.

Lowery

BYU-Idaho isn't for those who don't like rules. BYU-I sets forth in the Honor Code a different lifestyle that most teenagers aren't accustomed to living; unless one does well with change and structure, this would not be the school for them. People that enjoy breaking rules probably shouldn't attend. People that hate cold weather also shouldn't attend, Rexburg is very, very cold. If people don't want to be in a place where religion is deeply rooted in the course work, BYU-I isn't the place for them.

Elizabeth

BYU-Idaho has a very strict and student code. There is no participating in drugs, alcohol, and there is also a very strict curfew of 12 AM Saturday through Thursday and Fridays curfew is at 1 AM. We also follow a dress and grooming standard. No flip-flops,skirt above the knee, tank top, and boys also have to have a clean shave when attending BYU-Idaho. So with this strict student code, I would say people who wouldn't be willing to follow these rules should not attend this University.

Heidi

People who don't like to be a part of a spirtual atmoshere all of the time, because at this college you are always surrounded by a "Spirit of Ricks" as we call it. Also those people that like to do drugs and go to those sorts of parties would have a hard time at this university. I think this college is for people who are serious about their future career and who they are to become in the future.

Benjamin

A person with high moral standards and a devotion for learning both spiritual and secular knowledge should attend this school.

Desirae

Someone who is extremely liberal and someone who is looking for a real college campus experience. Duquesne is located in a city so most students party in bars rather than frat houses. Also, we have a rather small sports program, so there are no tailgates for games.

Steven

Someone who is not willing to live according to high moral standards should not attend BYU Idaho. I would also advise anyone who is not serious about school, and is only attending a university for the party scene, to look into another university.

Sheryden

A person that is not going to take school and there education serious and as a top priority. A person that is not going to abide by the honor code and rules of the university. A person who will not follow strict dresscode policy.

Kyle

To all of you late-night partyers, drinkers, smokers, and rebels: Stay away! This school is very competitive and serious about their standards as well. Classloads are very heavy and missing assignments are unacceptable and will hurt you grade quickly. Teachers are not very forgiving if you miss class due to a hangover or a rough night; most teachers have an attendance policy that also affects your grade. In a nutshell, this school is not for the faint of heart when it comes to hard work, nor the unorganized and irresponsible.

Sarah

Someone who does not want to learn, develop meaningful friendships, or work with a will to not only win, but to come out victorious with a group. The school encourages group activity, and from the group work the individuals who attend the school are able to bounce ideas off of each other and gain a braoder perspective. Those individuals who are looking for a quick way to get a college degree will not be the best students for this school, because those who come are often encouraged to become a well-rounded individual supportive of a group.

Jennie

Someone who is going to college simply to party and waste their time

Rebecca

Anyone with a rebelious, party personality! There is a strict honor code that you must follow to attend BYU-I and you won't have any fun at all trying to get around the rules. If you want to party, go to a party school!

Jamie

The kind of person that shoudl not apply here is someone who doesn't believe in God, a person who loves to party all the time, drink or do any type of drug. This is a very laid back college, except when it comes down to morals and keeping them. You need to be on your best behavior and not very obnoxious.

Zachary

The kind of person that should attend this school who wishs to drink or smoke and who does not want to dress modestly.

Annette

Anyone who is wanting college to be all about partying should not come to this school. We are a religion based school with a lot of standards that would not involve any kind of alcohol intake , drug use or immorality.

Danielle

People without morals, aka those who drink and mess with drugs.

KristiAnne

Someone who is unwilling to accept or try to understand people who are different from them should stay far away from my school, although much of the student population is mormon we observe our religion in vastly different ways. Someone who wants to party more than study would also be very uncomfortable in this setting. Anyone who intends to be a social hermit might also be rather uncomfortable in this atmosphere, the social involvement aspect of student life is very stressed and we are often encouraged to study together and spend time with other students rather than be alone.
