Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Trent

The snowy winters last from October to early May and it's extremely cold!

Claire

I wish I had learned more in high school. My writing skills were not developed very well, and I wish that I would have worked on that more. I also wish that I had known what major I wanted to get into before I went to college.

Ryan

The winter is really cold! Bundle up.

Kjerstin

How hard it is to have a thriving, bohemian arts community at a small religious school.

Elizabeth

That the school would run a 12 week semester.

Allen

I would have liked to known how to manage my class schedule better because as a new student you sign up for classes all over the place and it can be stressful if you aren't ready for it. Time is an important part of being a student and it would have been nice to manage that better during my first semester.

Maryann

what i want to do

Brook

I wish I would have known more about the education process. On my campus teachers are really focused on students teaching other students, and I really like this method because it helps me to learn better because I get to teach other students what I know.

Kalee

How to study effectively and proper time managment.

Janae

While there's not much that I complain about, there are a few things I wish I'd known about beforehand. For example, the various programs that were available. Granted I didn't discover what I field I wanted to go into until after I arrived, I still wished I had been more informed about that (this is mostly my fault though). I also wished I understood the reality of the unequal ratios of single men and women. There are not as many single men as there are single women.
