It has a really good atmosphere because of the Honor Code and the LDS based standards of the school.
Shanna
Mostly everyone at my school has at least one thing in common. Religion.
Jonathan
There is a positive outlook on things and a greater sense of balance to life than in most universities which I have visited or which friends attend. There isn't any particular pressure to succeed academically, but the "pressure" is focused on building a foundation for successful living in all areas of life: career, academic, family, social, and health.
Camilla
I love the atmosphere on campus, and the spirit of the students.
Thomas
The best thing here is the unity. Unity between students, faculty and administration. Unity allows for students to become the best they can be.
Crystal
The facilities. (ex: clean study areas, clean campus, abundance of resources and computers, etc)

There are teachers that make you feel really comfortable in class and really listen to you when you talk. They take into consideration how much you need to learn and listen to what you want to get out of the class. They will do anything they can to make sure you pass the class and learn what you need to learn.
Evelyn
The professors. They really know what they are talking about, and even when they don't, they know who does. They are attentive, sensitive, funny, and take what they do very seriously. They enjoy learning as much as the students do (sometimes even more). They work vey closely with students and student organizations. In my experience, they have responded quickly to any email, and, though a bit intimidating, are always direct and friendly. They come from all over, with skills way beyond what one would expect at school this size. The cream of the crop, I would say.

The best thing about this school would definately be the atmosphere. It is so peaceful and stress free, everyone is there to help everyone else, it is set up so easy to meet others. its way fun!
Daniel
I consider the best thing about my school the opportunity for learning and growth. All graduates get placed in good jobs and in the fields they have been studying. The learning model that we have here was brought over and adapted by President Kim B. Clark who was the dean of Harvard business before coming here. Learning takes place inside and outside of the classroom.
Rachel
The student involvement is great. I'm not great at making new friends, but with FHE groups and constant activities with the people around you, the interaction makes it way easier to make good friends that you'll see all the time on and off campus. Coming home when I was off track was hard because I knew I would miss all the friends I had spent 8 months making. I cannot wait to go back!
Amanda
The best thing about the college I go to is that the other students are so kind! There have been so many times when I have had someone say hi to me, and I had never even seen them! It is so easy to make new friends; I have something in common with most everyone on campus!
Heidi
The best thing about BYU-I is the friendly atmoshere. You can ask any random person on campus anything and I guarentee that they will try to help you in the best possible way. You walk around campus and all you see is smiles. You always feel like you belong there no matter where you're from or what status of student you are. People who visit always comment on how their is a different feeling or atmosphere about this university and it's all due to the standards that are expected of us.
Kelsi
The friendliness of my proffesors and fellow students is the best thing about my school. Everyone here is so willing to help and teach others. They will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable or to help you with a math problem. It just makes the whole campus feel great!
Jami
I love how to campus isn't extremely large. It is quite easy to walk from one end of campus to another, this way you don't have to have a car while going to school. I also really like the wonderful professors that teach at Brigham Young University - Idaho; they are all very nice and willing to help you whenever you ask for help. The students on campus are very nice and kind to everyone; this helps you to feel accepted easily and you aren't afraid to ask anyone for help.
Marlaina
The best thing about my school is the companionship and the spirit on campus. Everyone is friendly and helpful, even to complete strangers. You can have a conversation with someone simply because you're walking in the same direction; people you don't know say hi to you as they pass you in buildings. Almost everyone is happy to be attending the school and feels grateful for the opportunity to get a great education.
Spencer
The standard of morality at a religious institution such as Byu-I sets a tone for what is the purose of a higher education. Learning and channeling study skills is an easy task as distractions are cut in half as students choose to put their education first.
Benjamin
The small, friendly environment. There's no pressure to do anything I don't want to. There's more to do here than I thought there was and I can have a good education and have fun in a clean environment where people have high standards.
Anna
I think the best thing about my school is the atmosphere of friendship and acceptance that there is. Most students at my school, I have found, have very different political views than me, but I have rarely felt like I couldn't share my opinions. Whenever I do get into a political discussion, I have been pleasantly surprised at how understanding they are with my views, and how ready I am to find similarities in our differing opinions. I have learned so much just by talking to my peers about issues that are important to me, and I love it.
Rodger
The best thing about BYUI is the campus environment. There is a spirit of anticipation and determination, and everyone is there to support one another in their efforts. One always feels safe on and around the campus, but it's hardly a boring place. There is plenty of fun to be had all over the region. The campus and surrounding town of Rexburg is clean and orderly and once again, everyone feels safe and secure as they enjoy their classes, the social scene, and their devotion to Christ and His church.
