Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

The snowy winters last from October to early May and it's extremely cold!

I wish I had learned more in high school. My writing skills were not developed very well, and I wish that I would have worked on that more. I also wish that I had known what major I wanted to get into before I went to college.

The winter is really cold! Bundle up.

How hard it is to have a thriving, bohemian arts community at a small religious school.

That the school would run a 12 week semester.

I would have liked to known how to manage my class schedule better because as a new student you sign up for classes all over the place and it can be stressful if you aren't ready for it. Time is an important part of being a student and it would have been nice to manage that better during my first semester.

what i want to do

I wish I would have known more about the education process. On my campus teachers are really focused on students teaching other students, and I really like this method because it helps me to learn better because I get to teach other students what I know.

How to study effectively and proper time managment.

While there's not much that I complain about, there are a few things I wish I'd known about beforehand. For example, the various programs that were available. Granted I didn't discover what I field I wanted to go into until after I arrived, I still wished I had been more informed about that (this is mostly my fault though). I also wished I understood the reality of the unequal ratios of single men and women. There are not as many single men as there are single women.

Nothing, I think I was well prepared.

I wish I would have known that it was going to be so cold. The weather is the toughest thing to overcome. I also wish I would have known what the people are like out here, its rough dealing with the close-mindedness of some of the students and teachers here.

I wish that I would have known how to drive in the snow. The winters up here are really cold, and there is a lot of snow. You need to know how to drive on ice. I also wish that I would have known that it is hard to get an off campus job, and they dont pay well. I should have saved more money.

This is a great school! I was a little dissapointed about going to the middle of nowhere in Idaho, but I love it here now. But it is cold most of the year which I don't like.

I had siblings that attended this school prior to me, and so i knew what i was getting into before i went. I wish i knew exactly how cold it gets in the winter though...

How cold the winters are.

How amazing it really is. I knew it was good, but its incredible!

I wish I had known the difficulty and time that this school would require, not so I could choose another school, but to be more prepared.

Nothing, really... It's a good school, and you get what you bring to it.

I wish i would've known what my major was in the beginning! it really doesn't matter what you pick-as long as you can see yourself enjoying learning about it!
