The size. There are so many here it is often very difficult to get into certain programs.
Katie
There is a very high stress level because students feel determined to excel and do their very best.

The worst thing about BYU is that the majority of the school is extremly close minded and it is not diverse enough.
Sarah
I feel that there is not enough diversity at this school, which leads to a significant number of individuals not having the opportunity to learn how to interact with people of other cultures. Many at this school come from white, middle- or upper-class areas and have no experience with people from cultures other than their own.

It's a big school so it's easy to get lost. If you're not amazingly good at something, you don't have the opportunity to try and become better because you are pushed aside by those who are already good. You don't get to try a variety of things, which is limiting to an overall education.
Chris
The policies within the individual colleges on campus (especially the one I am part of) change so frequently. From one semester to the next the way things are done are completely different. It is hard to keep up.
Daniel
There really isn't anything that comes to mind when I try and think of negative things. The one main thing that bothers me is that the Honor Code is enforced in parts. While guys who don't shave will get turned away from the testing center, girls wearing immodest clothing don't get a word said to them even though that is part of the Honor Code as well.
Katie
There is not an equal amount of girls and guys. It makes dating life a pain sometimes but it's not a huge issue. I wish the guys would ask girls out more and be more creative when it comes to social activities but overall the social life is pretty good.

The size. Because the tuition is so cheap I think the school struggles to provide an adequate number of teachers in relation to the overwhelmingly large student body. I also think that the number of students takes a toll on the professors and causes them to resent their work load and therefore the students to some extent. It also causes the accurate grading of student work to suffer.
Steve
The close-mindness of the culture. Most people are very conservative and if you voice different views and opinions you often are looked down on.
