Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Brigham Young University-Provo? Why?

Adam

Parking.

Raven

There is a lot of pressure to get married. I think too many students rush into marriage without really getting to know their spouse which could caouse potential problems in the future. I believe part of that is due to the enormous pressure we get emphasizing marriage

Steele

Nothing. I am truly blessed. It is amazing.

Jennifer

The hardest thing about being a student at BYU is the pressure to perform. Most of the majors are incredibly competitive and getting into your major can be nervewracking and scary.

Cassandra

If you're looking for a liberal, urban schoo, I would not choose BYU. Although it is a lot of fun, it is certainly not where I had pictured myself living. It takes some getting used to, but in the end, it has made me a better, more creative and service oriented person. There is also a lot of pressure to get married, which can be a little aggrevating, but is definately over-comeable.

Missie

The worst thing about this school is the way that they "encourage" everyone to date so much, because it can get really annoying to hear it being said so many times (that you can find your spouse here). Other than that, this school is pretty amazing.

Melissa

BYU has a strict standard that everyone must adhere to. Though I appreciate the standards it has, those who don't always follow that set of standards tend to be looked down upon. BYU is not very racially or religiously diverse. It is overwhelmingly caucasian and Mormon. It sometimes feels like we're living in a "bubble", kept safe from the outside world. That is not necessarily a good thing.

Lauren

Some classes have a large work load.

Greg

The worst thing about my school is the highly competitive nature of the undergraduate class. BYU students apply to professional schools in numbers unmatched by any other school in the country. We turn out vast amounts of medical doctors, lawyers, dentists, PhDs, CPAs, and MBAs. This fact places a largely competitive tinge to the school. While other facilities are obliquely competitve, Brigham Young is overt in its desire to become an institution of academic revere and esteem.

There's not much that I dislike about this school, and if I do dislike something, it's because a class does not particularly interesting. I highly enjoy the campus atmosphere and the activities that are offered.
