Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

People are not very accepting of other people and cultures.

The school has certain religious classes that are required for graduation, such as courses on the Book of Mormon. If someone is not open to or interested in learning about other religions (or about the LDS religion in particular), these requirements might be a little off-putting.

It's really cold and really dry here but there isn't really anything wrong with the actually school. It has everything that you need and the professors are great and it's easy to find jobs if you need one.

Sometimes the whole religion stuff can get overwhelming when you're surrounded by it 24/7, including every class, even secular ones, which start with a prayer.

I love my school, but find it very frustrating and difficult to find a student job on campus. A lot of us students need to have a job to be able to pay for school, and the entire process is very hard and frustrating for me.

The general classes that are required for each student are very large which can make it difficult for the student-teacher relationship. There is also very little parking which can be frusterating if the students don't live very close to campus and have to drive to school.

It is sometimes difficult to get into certain degree programs (such as art programs) because it is so competetive.

Parking, because there is never enough of it on or off-campus

It's really cold in the winter-time

Congestion on the sidewalks between classes is the worst thing at BYU because it can be difficult to get across campus and is a little frustrating, but I can still make it to classes on time.
