Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

I love BYU. Lots of people dont. People that come to BYU do so because they want to be around other people who share their morals and standards. We dont want to have the temptation of drinking and partying that exists at other schools. This is a huge reason people come here but then a lot of kids complain that Provo is a boring town...which its not at all. We are 20 minutes from 11 incredible ski and snowboard resorts. There is tons to do in Provo. Bowling, iceskating, tons of sports, concerts, tooons of places to go out to eat, dance parties all the time, etc. Dont complain if you come here. YOU chose to come here.

I like BYU over all. It's a fantastic school for the price. Very inexpensive for the education offered. I'd say people are pretty judgmental over all. that is one down side to BYU. We see different and aren't always as accepting as we probably should be. The campus is really nice and quite small comparative to other universities which makes it nice for walking and getting around in between classes. Over all I also think people are pretty cold, by saying that I mean they aren't very friendly. Sure if you can get into their "group" they'll be friendly but other than that, Not so much.

A lot of people (including me) complain about BYU's rules, parking issues, etc. but I am constantly reminded that BYU provides some things that no other school can: dirt cheap tuition for the caliber education, a welcoming atmosphere, crazy networking, and common core values threaded through almost everyone at the university.

BYU is a large university and it's easy to feel lost in the grand scheme of things because the campus is so large and the beginning general education classes are very large (800 students). I spent most of my time in the Harold B Lee Library working (I worked 20 hours a week) and studying when I had a break from work and class. The most frequent complaints about BYU is the lack of student parking close to campus. There just isn't enough space to add more student parking around campus because the administration gives the closest spots to faculty and guests. BYU's biggest rival is the University of Utah. I think there's a rivalry because both schools are Utah schools and people assume that BYU contains all LDS students while the U doesn't, or doesn't contain as many. The stereotype of the University of Utah students is that they are drunk, crude, rude, and loud.

BYU is a great education in a great environment. We won the "Stone Cold Sober" award for a reason. The people have a lot of exposure, the students are from all over the world and have been all over the world. Lot's of school pride, especially when it comes to football.

The best thing about BYU is its reputation for excellence. As an accounting major it is nice to know that even though school is hard, you will graduate from the number one accounting school in the nation

BYU is a good school as far as academics go. One thing I would change is all the pressure that teachers put on trying to get married. Not everyone wants to get married when they're 19. I spend most of my time in the engineering lab or math lab. I don't think there are many controversies on campus. There is a lot of school pride

the best thing about byu is that we're allowed to discuss our religion in class where it is relevant. there are lots of good things about being sponsored by our church-- tuition is cheap, and our church leaders come to campus a lot.

I love it here. It's just fun, good, whole-some times. The only advice I have is for Freshman to live in the dorms. That was the greatest year of my life and I made such great friends.

I love the campus, the people are always nice. Professors are usually always good. Class sizes aren't too big most of the time. Good environment to be in.

BYU is a large school, with 33,000 undergraduate students. 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the population are mormon, and thus are very religious and participate in church activities. It's a good environment for socializing, growing spiritually, AND getting a good education.

I love the atmosphere at BYU. Most everyone is really nice and easy to get a long with. The only thing I would change would be to tone down how much they talk about getting married.

BYU is an amazing school. most of the programs are IVY League quality, but because it is a private university it doesnt have the IVY League title. And the best part is that the tuition is less than 2,000 dollars per semester, that is just as good as some community colleges, but you have a university credit that is highly respectable in the world.

the best thing about BYU is the people. There is a variety of people with many different interests you are almost always going to find someone that you have something in common with. BYU's campus is relatively small compared to the number of students here. During the warm weather students spend most of their free time outside on the grass and benches. BYU is full of school pride and a common motto around the BYU sports team is " I bleed blue!" Most people that know I go to BYU were first impressed that I do go to school here. BYU is a good school, very competitive in all aspects.

Class sizes are pretty big, it is hard for a professor to get to know you well (sometimes even at all) if one doesn't take the initiative to participate in class, sit near the front, talk to him/her before or after class, etc . . . If I were to have my will, classes would be about half the size they are now. Best thing about BYU is definitely the people. They are intelligent, have their heads on straight, have direction and specific goals that they actually work on, and are--for the most part--sincerely trying to live every precept of their religion.
