Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

BYU is extremely unique not only because it is a private LDS school, but also because the environment of campus is so different from any other college. Here at BYU we have an Honor Code, instituted by the students, that establishes certain guidelines for students to follow, such as modest clothing, no inappropriate language, no alcoholic beverages, etc. The thing that is so special is that the students, as well as faculty, choose to follow these rules because they know that it makes them a better person for it and not because they?re being made to.

BYU has a long tradition of service and it is dedicated to creating an atmosphere that encourages students to catch the vision of themselves as leaders who have a responsibility to do their utmost to make the world a better place for not only themselves, but for others, and by so doing ennoble both themselves and others.

I chose this school because I would get a really good education without the social pressures to drink and experiment with drugs. Not many schools can offer that. That occurs here but isn't the norm and I have gained confidence from this school that enables me to refuse them confindently. This school also was a religious based college where I could practice religion without persecution.

BYU is located a five minute walk from the base of the Rocky Mountains and allows for a great off campus experience. It has about 36,000 students and most of them don't drink, smoke, or have premarital sex - to me, this makes BYU an unbelievable place. Everyone really knows how to have good clean fun. Also, a lot of the students have spent as much as 2.5 years in a foreign country and know foreign languages. Because of this, there are virtually no cultural barriers. Finally, BYU has excellent professors who will truly change your life.

It's predominately attended by LDS students so I'm surrounded by people that typically have the same values as me.

The school I chose is a private school. It's very spiritually centered. Religion of all kinds is freely discussed. I feel that the university bends over backwards to help its students and provide them with the best education possible as well as career placement upon graduation. The university expects a lot from its students expects a lot from them academically. Our motto is "enter to learn, go forth to serve" we're centered on making the world a better place by starting in our own community while attending school and then in impacting our different fields once we leave.

Brigham Young University has a lot to offer, but you have to be willing to make it happen. Dedicate yourself to your schoolwork and to enjoying your college experience. If you can do that, BYU will provide you with a really good education and an equally fulfilling social life. It is easy to get passed by because of how much goes on here, so make yourself known and just get out there and start DOING!

Brigham Young is a very religious institute. As we learn about Chemistry or English, we also have a spiritual foundation that creates a friendly atmosphere. It adds something to the campus and the students who truly care about each other.

BYU is a private school that is almost entirely Mormon students. Mormons don't drink, do drugs, etc. so it's very conservative; and a wonderful, safe place to go to school.
