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

There are high expectations and that can be overwhelming at times, but this is a prestigous school and those expectations are often what makes being here so great, also. Without them, BYU wouldn't be the incredible school that it is.

sometimes people are judgmental. get over it and don't do the same.

Censorship. Too often, because of the conservative nature of the community surrounding BYU, we are unable to explore or express issues that might be contreversial, but absolutely timely. Our newspaper suffers, our work suffers, and our fine arts suffer. That being said, the box allows us to stretch our creative capabilities within the boundaires, making us highly resourceful if we are willing to stretch.

There is not a lot of on campus housing. Plus most of it is used for freshmen. All the rest of the housing around campus is a little further then in prefered. The campus is on a hill, so all the off-campus housing is below it requiring somewhat of a walk. This is fine during the warmer days, but during the winter it is not ideal.

The fact that its almost 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} mormon. No one else seems to realize there are other religions

The worst thing about BYU is the people. They are all the same ie. white, Mormon and boring.

Patricia

I think the worst thing about my school is the availability of scholarships. There are academic, music, and sport scholarships, but for the academic scholarships you have to keep at least a 3.8 or .9 GPA. That is next to impossible to do here. There are no scholarships that average people can get and it is very difficult to pay for college.

i wish there was more diversity. We do have international students but culturally most of the students fit into the same ethinic group

Zarah

The course work is very challenging. It stretches the mind and demands excellence and mastery of each topic studied.

It's in Utah.
