The school it's self is not really frustrating. But the weather here is super frustrating! It doesn't matter what season it's supposed to be, Rexburg can't decide what season it wants to be. Seome times it snows during spring semester, and the next day it could jump up to 100 degrees.

The most frustrating thing about attending Brigham Young University, Idaho is the fact that the campus is in the small town of Rexburg that seems very far away from "civilization". This fores studnts to be creative when finding activities to entertain themselves. This is both a good and a frustrating thing.

Impacting these frustrations is the fact that it is very cold and snowy in the winter.

Focus on school.
