Brigham Young University is, naturally, best known for a having a very large population of LDS students. Beyond that, however, it has many of the top ranked departments in the nation. Both the accounting and business programs consistently rank in the top few schools. Schools such as Harvard frequently recommend BYU's online courses to students who wish to apply but are missing certain courses. The quality of education here is very high, and that is recognized by many even outside of the BYU community.

Being Mormon. Seriously, almost everyone is Mormon. This has formed us a very unique culture full of idiosyncrasies. Those who have served and LDS mission are sought for in marrage. People get together for famiy home evening groups. Campus is stone cold sober. I haven't seen a shard of broken glass. Every year all the students have to be endorsed by their bishop to still attend. We have an amazing rivalry with a campus a half hour to the north. It seems that everyone in the state is involved in it on one side or the other.

My school is well known for academics, religion, and dating. For those that are up for an academic challenge, Brigham Young University in Utah is the place. The classes are challenging, but the teachers are experts in their fields and very good. This college is privately owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS church). Most of the students that attend the college are members of the LDS church, but there are many people from around the world that attend BYU that aren't LDS. People here date like crazy, and love to do it!
