Is the stereotype of students at Brigham Young University-Provo accurate?

Katie

sure

Emily

of course, to some extent. most byu students have the same long- term goals and expectations because we're pretty much all mormon. classes are challenging here.

Amy

Sometimes. There are a good amount of sheltered people. But a good majority have experienced 'real' life.

Marie

Yes.

Mackenzie

For the most part, yes. Almost everyone is mormon, and almost everyone obeys the "big" rules such as no drinking or sex. Of course you can find exceptions, but for the most part the stereotypes are true.

Brittany

Yes.

Andrew

for the most part.

Emily

As for these stereotypes that majority of BYU students are Mormon and most of the football students are not Mormon. I have met a lot of other student athletes who are from out of the country that are Mormon so this stereotype is not always accurate.

We actually sign a pledge (the "honor code") promising that we won't do these things, so yes, definitely true with very few exceptions. The marriage obsession can be a slight exaggeration at times, but that is definitely one of the reasons why I am here--there is a great selection.
