The general education classes have been changed to Foundation classes and are unlike any other school so they cannot transfer.

Everyone on campus is very friendly. If you drop something, several people will stop and pick it up for you. I've had complete strangers run up to a door just to open it for me. Everyone at my school is so caring and accepting of each other; you automatically feel welcomed by those around you.

Since it is a supported religious institution every class starts with a prayer which is either rare or non-existant in other schools. There is just an atmosphere of love and support, not competition between students like there are in other schools. People want to get to know eachother and help eachother out. While it is predominantly an LDS university, there are non members who attend and recieve a very good education, especially for the price they pay.

Birgham Young University- Idaho focuses on my religion. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I feel that religion is extremely important to life. I love being able to go to school, and learn how my religion can be tied into educational studies. Other schools refrain from discussing the topics of God or religious figures, but here at BYUI, we not only learn about our religion but others as well.

BYU-Idaho is a private, religious school. The campus is extremely clean and the students her are very respectful. It is unusual to find rowdy behavior among students and teachers. Every student that attends school here is typically happy and friendly.

It is not a school of lacking standards and many people around the country respect BYU-I because of the high moral expectations of the students. BYU-I is a small school, so it is easier to have a one-on-one relationship with your teachers, which makes a great learning environment!

I would consider the general mindset of the teachers the most signifigant difference at BYU-I. Classes are small and each teacher knows me by name. There is an emphisis on learning together through discussions and peer to peer reviews. I feel completely comfortable approaching any of my teacher in order to ask a question about a class or for career advice. I can tell that they care about me and see my potential and want to help me achieve it.

A student that attends here can have grow in many areas and it is a safe enviroment to voice opinions.

We put emphasis on spiritual matters as well as academics. We believe in using all truth to become fully enlightened.

My school is a very socially oriented campus. It seems that the faculty is very interested in the well being of each individual student. With our structure of classes, each class only has around 30 people so each student really begins to feel included in campus involvement.
