Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

It is, in my opinion, the most student friendly campus/university in the world. The mission of the university is clear: the success of each and every one of its students. But it defines success different from most any other institution. You see, Brigham Young University focuses on giving you the life experiences and skills necessary to provide for the welfare of your family, your community, your friends, your employer, etc. In an environment such as this, we understand that we are all a family. We treasure our relationships, one with another. We seek to live clean, happy lives.

The Honor Code

Brigham Young University is a private school that is sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This private status allows the board of trustees to set the standards and rules of the university a little higher than the rules that public universities have. Each student signs the honor code before they are admitted. This code holds the student to high standards of moral conduct and academic honesty. Because each student signs the honor code, we are all on the same page and do not have to worry about being cheated in our academic experience.

The Honor Code: no drugs or alcohol, no people of the opposite sex in bedrooms or in the apartment past midnight. If you can't deal with these then you will struggle at this college. People here are also very focused on getting married, so it changes the dating dynamics.

Brigham Young University is the most sober university in the nation. College students here know how to have fun without putting their health, lives and the lives of others on the line. We are creative and we have fun just being ourselves. We are content with who we are and we don't need artificial substances to help us "feel good." We are naturally happy for the most part!

I love that my school has a no drinking policy; our campus focuses on a healthy lifestyle. Many students exercise, eat healthy, and generally live healthier lifestyles. This sets a good tone for the rest of your life. Think about it - college is (in most cases) your first time being away from home for an extended period of time. Who wouldn't want to start off on the right track? It helps so much when your roommates and friends are particpating in a healthy lifestyle right along with you. On the weekends, we like to have some REAL fun!

Brigham Young University provides a clean and uplifting environment for learning. We are encouraged to become better people while preparing for our future lives. BYU men's basketball has had an extremely great year and this publicity has drawn attention to the honor code that we sign upon acceptance to this school. The honor code is a huge part of what makes this school so unique and wholesome.

The standards: a lot of people may think they're strict, but it's still easy to have fun while obeying the rules. And the library is simply wonderful

BYU has high standards, beliefs, and values. If you are looking for a place to go where you can get an outstanding education with other hard-working students this is the place for you. Most everyone is focused, friendly, and faith oriented. This is a great school that can help you become the best person possible just as the motto of the school says, "Enter to learn, go forth to serve." It is very service oriented and looks great for future job opportunities.

I was looking for a school that had a really good art program and that was not too far from home and this was the best option for me. Also it is a private school owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. BYU does a great job of teaching and including gospel principles in your study. That is something that you could never get if you went to a public school. It is very interesting to me, the information they teach you that applied to our gospel beliefs.
