Brigham Young University Idaho has a whole different atmosphere than any other school. There are several rules and guildlines that only the BYU schools have. I havent heard of any other school that has curfew, no drinking, and no partying. They try to get the students really involved and have fun activites for them to be able to meet new people. You must take religion classes and attend your church meetings. They give good guildines to really keep students out of trouble and focus on their studies. Makes it nice to have no temptations while being away at school.

The sports program it offers is extremely different than those of the other schools that I studied when I was applying last year. Instead of being limited to an elite group of athletes, there is no intra-school team. However, there is an amazing competitive sport program that invites all of the students to participate. Seasonal sports are hosted, such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, ice hockey, swimming, and cross country; as well as other sports such as ultimate frisbee and flag football. There is also a intermural program that is availiable if one has limited time to devote to sports.

I was looking for a school that I would be able to have others share my religious ideals. I have always been in the religoious minority growing up, and I wanted to have a social network of people that i could relate too. When I came to this school, i was so glad of the choice I had made. I am in a small university so I get to know many of the students on camups.

Stricter rules and small classes.

This school is very friendly and very progressive. The administration and faculty are seriously dedicated to taking the campus to its fullest potential.
