Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

We're a tight-knit community that has the foundation of religion that seals us together. Other schools that I visited seemed to be purely individualistic, simply missing the invisible threads that connect classmates together, whether friends or not. I visited BYU and I felt a sense of belonging that was absent everywhere else. The Honor Code doesn't permit smoking, drinking alcohol, sexual misconduct which may seem restrictive, but I find that it binds the school together because we know that we're all on common ground standards-wise. I feel safe and can still have a good time.

This university has an "honor code" which is a system of standards and values that students are expected to adhere to. That honor code includes abstaining from alcohol, sexual relations before marriage, illicit drugs, and extreme fads (hairstyles, dress, etc). A large emphasis is placed on not cheating, plagiarizing, or any type of dishonest academic behavior. The university also has several well-develop service organizations which provide many opportunities to get to know other students. The most unique part of the university is the integration of faith and religion with academic progress. It gives a good direction to life priorities.

My school is absolutely clean and, in the country, is the only school that is 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} sober. It also has a high honor code that the students must abide by that includes dress, grooming, and behavior.

There's a great spirit among the students and faculty. Standards have been set high but everyone has fun, even without the drugs and alchohol you might find at other universities.

BYU is one of the cleanest campuses both morally and physically. People are very nice, but they're also very strict. This is not a school for people who need alchohal for a good time. If you lie partying without it, then BYU Provo is a great campus. The intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects of BYU can't be beaten.

Unique religious focus.

My school, Brigham Young University, is probably the most unique school in the country. The fact that almost everyone there is the same religion, LDS, sets it apart from other schools. Another thing is the university's goal, which is to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life, which is a pretty lofty goal compared to other university's goals. The honor code, which has to be signed in order to attend the university, is another unique thing. It ensures people are complying with the moral standards laid out by the LDS church.

The school stresses the importance of living a life free of drugs, alcohol, and pre-martial sex. You must sign an Honor Code and keep it to attend this school.

Being a religious school, there is a focus on the ethical, moral, and spiritual development of the student in addition to his/her academic development. There is a sense of purpose that the student is not just attending school to find a job, but attending to become the best the student can be.

My school is unique because there is an emphasis on combining secular learning with religious learning. There's also the fact that BYU has been named the most ?Stone-Cold Sober? university in the United States for the 12th time in a row. This means you don?t have to worry about drugs or alcohol being at a party, and there isn?t any peer pressure to experiment with those things. BYU also has low tuition compared to other public and private schools; tuition costs less than $10,000 per year, which is a steal for the quality of education.
