Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

You will get a great education almost anywhere you attend, so don't focus too much on that part when choosing a school. Focus more on affordability (this is a HUGE deal, and becomes so much more apparent once you have been there a while.) and other aspects like that.

I have a few pieces of advice for finding the right college and making the most of the college experience. First of all, choose a college that seems to offer the classes and programs that fit your personal interests and needs. Find schools that offer a wide range of social activities that will keep you active and happy. College isn't easy, so it's nice to have wholesome recreational activities to take your mind off of your schoolwork for a few hours or for the day. It also helps to find a school with a faculty of educators who truly care about the individual student's education and progress. I can't express in words how nice it is to know that your professor actually cares that you understand the material and are able to put what you learn into practice in your life. College is a time of preparation for the rest of your life, so do your research and choose wisely. Don't ever think that it's just a time to party hard. Partying won't prepare you for life's challenges, the quality of your education will. Good luck!

You need to look at the enviroment mostly. Every student needs an environment that will help them grow not only mentally, but Spiritually and socially as well. Everyone needs to be well rounded, and many Universities/Colleges offer these, you just need to find them.

look at what courses of cstudy the college offers and then look at what you want to go into. it isn't worth it if you can't enjoy the fruits of your labor.

College is one of the best times of you entire life! Find a school that you feel really fits who you are, who you want to be (and/or become), and what you want to do with your life. Once there, really take life by the horns and live it to the very fullest! Remember that learning, gaining knowledge and experience is certainly one of the biggest purposes for being at college, and you should definitely take that seriously, but have fun too! Have a social life! Surround yourself with good people who make you want to be better! Take time to enjoy life and have a good time! This is your biggest chance to become the person you want to be, intellectually, physically, mentally, spiritually. Live this experience with all you have. Be reasonable, and have balance. Go into your college experience wanting to leave a better person all around.

A school that is selected ought to be cost effective but builds the individual to be a contributing member of society. The school ought to have high standards that reflect the prospective student's willingness to live a life according to those standards.

Finding the right school can be difficult. The institution you enroll in will determine where you spend thousands of dollars, make hundreds of friends, and live for a few years of your life. Talk about big decisions! The best advice I can give about finding the right school is simple: Do your homework. No one is going to find the right place without looking around and seeing what a school has to offer. Look up colleges online. Visit campuses. See what programs are available. Don't be afraid to make phone calls and ask questions. Compare tuition costs. Look for financial aid associated with each institution. Your hard work WILL pay off. It has been said that college is what you make it. I agree 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. If you want to be involved in something, go and be involved! Try new things that you have always wanted to do. Go out on a limb. Make new friends simply because you can. College friends often become your best friends. Learn everything you can and make the most of your learning experience: You're not paying money just to be away from home. Work hard, play hard, and remember why you're there.

Take your time to do your research and really understand the culture at the different Universitys that you are looking at attending, and then be willing to take a jump in the dark. I came up to school in Idaho from southern California and I had no idea what I was getting myself into but I wouldnt change my college experience for anything. I have learned so much from stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things. My instinct was to stay close to home for school but I know that I have grown up so much by forcing myself to live on my own. Dont be afraid to try something completely different, get involved in student activities its a great way to make friends. Be ready to learn and have fun because thats what the college experience is all about sometimes it just requires you to take that first step into the unknown.

The best way to find the right college is to visit the school. Ask students there what they like and dislike about the school. See if it is the right place for you by experencing it first hand as much as you can.

First of all, go on college visits. Tour the campus and meet with an advisor. Use the resouces that are avaiable to you. Get all the information you can to help you with your career path. Most importantly, attend a college where you feel as if you are accepted and feel like you fit in and have interests in common with the other students around you.

College is a time to prepare to become a succesfull member of society. This means a lot more than just what you will be doing in the classroom. In college we learn to live independently often under minimal supervision from parents or other authority figures for the first time. We must learn to balance social and academic demands, live on a budget and prioritize on a more grand scale than ever before. Durring this time we also have the opportunity to learn more about our interests and aptitudes, interact with people from diverse backgrounds and gain exposure to the myriad of career opportunities available to us. When choosing a school it is important to look not only at the academic ranking of schools but also at other factors that will influence these, and other, aspects of the complete student experience. Such factors could include the extra curricular activities avaiblable and the culture of the campus and surrounding community. If possible, speak with current and former students to see what they valued in their educational experience and make a list of your own priorities. Then gather information from several sources to find a school that best matches your expectations.

Once you make a decision about what college is best for you don't keep questioning your decision. Try to enjoy your experience wherever you go. If you make a good solid effort to have a good experience, then either you will or you will know that you should find somewhere else to go. The thing that makes the most difference in your college experience is your attitude, both towards your classes (you are there to learn after all) and towards the people and activities you are involved with. Don't let others alter your standards, be strong and be yourself and have fun.

Chosing a university is a daunting task. We all hope that the school we chose will be where we futher our education, learn, and gain knowledge and a degree that will stay with us forever. It will aide in finding a job that we could support ourselves and possibly a family. That's an enormous amount of responsability to put on the shoulders of an eighteen year-old kid! Here is a little advice I wish I had when I was making the decision. Choose a school that has a wide variety of majors if you do not yet know your desired field of study. Choose a school that fits other needs, such as social aspects. If you are a social butterfly, go somewhere that has extracurriculars, or an intermural sports program. Studying is important, but it adds stress that can be released durung physical activity, or relaxation. Lastly, once you have picked your school, have a good attitude and make it great. Every school has its pro's and con's, but its your attitude that will determine how well you do academically, as well as socially. Trust your own judgment, and make the experience amazing! Best of luck!

Be sure you are ready for college. When I came here I did horribly my first semester. I wasn't ready to take this on, and was so excited for the freedom college brought that I just did what I wanted, no what I needed. Maybe start out at a community college for a semester if you aren't sure. Also, visit the college. I got lucky, and even though I never visited Rexburg before I came here I love it, but I know that usually that isn't the case. Make sure the school you are going to attend has the same values as you. If you like the more liberal, maybe somewhere in WA, if you like more conservative somewhere in ID or UT. To make the most of your college experience you need to get organized, figure out your prioprites and no matter what fun activity comes up you need to stick to them. You need to attend you classes, and study something that is interesting to you, not that will just make you a lot of money. You need to want to learn, and you need to be excited about it.

work hard

My advice for those individuals would be to find a University who's mission statement is all for striving for excellence and in building a stronger people. You want to find a University where the diversity is such where you feel comfortable no matter what situation you are in. You want to feel welcomed in any class and in any room. You want to be able to succeed and have a strong focus towards it. You want to be at a place that offers so many services to helping each of us succeed. It's important to attend a University that sets a higher standard so that we may have a higher quality of education. When looking for a University it's also important to find one that offers for your interests. Here at Brigham Young Univeristy-Idaho, there are so many diverse activities and majors offered for all. The spirit here is stronger and unified. We as students and faculty work together every day to help fulfill this school's mission statement in unity and togetherness, as well as, success. Make the most of your experience by attending a University that has promised they can and will help you.

Don't forget to do your homework and understand what requirements the school will have for your.

College is just life on a smaller scale: You get what you bring to it. Be curious, be open to opportunities, find people who uplift you and hang around with them, know your long-term goals and look to them often, and smile a lot. It's simple advice, but then, who among us has the time to get more complicated? This is college, people, and time is at a premium! College is only a few short years in what I hope will be a very long life, so enjoy it. Don't risk regrets: get out there and experience the experience.

Take your time, look hard and realize that college isn't for everyone right out of High school. I have loved colelge and would never trade the time i have been given there for anything.

Find a place that has a good program in your field of study and agrees with your values and standards, and doesn't drain the pocketbook.
