What's the most frustrating thing about Brigham Young University-Idaho?

Emily

The most frustrating thing is having each teacher give you work like their class is the only one you should be taking or care about. I am sure this is common in most Universities though.

Cassandra

Although I have a great love for Brigham Young University Idaho and their high standards, the most frustrating thing is the strict dress code that prohibits capris, shorts, or flip flops. I understand the desire for the students on campus to look professional, however in the warm summer months, it is hard to feel comfortable while in jeans.

While the atmosphere is great and the opportunities plenty, sometimes the culture can be frustrating. There can sometimes be a high pressure to be "perfect" in a sense. You are expected to married before the age of 24 as a woman and usually far before. Of course these are just stereotypes but as a 21 year old student, I sometimes talk to people who put a ticking time bomb over my head of when I will cross over the threshold of single for life

Callie

The most frustrating thing about this school has nothing to do with the academic scene but more on the social scene. Sometimes the weekends can be a bit dry but if you can make friends easily, you won't have that big of a problem!

Christy

It's cold. When it snows it doesn't melt for six months.

Ranae

I hate that I go to school from September to December and then April to July, becuase BYU, ID has a weird track system. I also dislike that there are waiting lists for almost every class.

Emily

Although there is a wdie range of diversity, people often allow group think to dominate. It is common for people to be more concerned about being "nice" than being real.

Tyler

The school it's self is not really frustrating. But the weather here is super frustrating! It doesn't matter what season it's supposed to be, Rexburg can't decide what season it wants to be. Seome times it snows during spring semester, and the next day it could jump up to 100 degrees.

Nicole

The most frustrating thing about attending Brigham Young University, Idaho is the fact that the campus is in the small town of Rexburg that seems very far away from "civilization". This fores studnts to be creative when finding activities to entertain themselves. This is both a good and a frustrating thing. There are many outdoor activities to be involved in, but not much else inside of the 3 hour drive to Salt Lake City, UT. Impacting these frustrations is the fact that it is very cold and snowy in the winter.

Kara

there is no room in rexburg and the housing is spendy
