Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

Some can be challenging. It really depends on how much work you put in it. But I'm sure its just like any other school. One thing I do hate are the generals. Those have the worst tests, I'm pretty sure their designed to make you fail. But, be sure to read questions carefully and you'll do fine.

BYU has several top ranked programs, such as the business school or the accounting program. Though many of the general education classes are large and impersonal, classes specific to majors tend to be much smaller and more tailored to the students needs.

My favorite class right now is Human Physiology. I love learning about the human body. It's very interesting to me and very helpful in my everday life. My least favorite is Organic and Biological Chemistry. I just don't understand Chemistry very well.

they are very hard, but well worth it. the teachers push you and are amazing at what they do.

I am not going to lie. BYU is a hard school. The majors are competitive, the pre-requisite classes are hard and are usually very large. Two of the hardest classes I have taken was first: Math 113 which is second semester calculus. One take that class if you have a really good foundation of calculus. I credit my passing grade to the intense curve at the end of the semester. Out of the 45 or so students in my class about 20 or so were retaking it, that will give you and idea of how hard it is. The second class that I swear about killed me was Accounting 100. This class is all CD lectures with a few required classes throughout the semester. It takes a lot of self discipline to focus during the long CD lectures given by the Oh so famous NORM. The required lectures were long and the class size was around 700 people. The majors at BYU are extremely competitive. Professors are almost always willing to meet with you outside class and help you but they expect you to do your part.

One of the unique things that drew me to BYU was the matchless spiritual atmosphere. Not all teachers do this, but most mention some aspect in their faith in God within the subject, or just in general. It is difficult to explain without experiencing it, but most professors don't consider this just a job--they know the influence they can have over students and they share the things that they think will help us not only in the subject, but also in life and about things of eternal importance. Something else, something that I think few students take advantage of is that every professor has office hours where any student can come in and get help on anything, or just talk to the professor. Every time I have gone in, I came out MUCH more enlightened as to a recently-discussed concept, what to expect on a test or essay, or where to go for more information about something that interested me that was mentioned in class. A most invaluable resource.
