Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

There is very little diversity- 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students are white, LDS Conservatives. Not that admissions are biased against others, but that most people who want to attend BYU are LDS, and most LDS people are white and conservative. But they are very accepting of diversity when they find it.

The wireless internet around the campus is a little slow. But that's it.

I would say the worst thing about BYU is that to keep a scholarship (academic) you have to basically have a 4.0. I worked my "tooshy" off in many of my classes only to pull B's and even C's. I did the very best I could but after one semester my scholarship was gone because I couldn't keep such a high GPA. Of course, there are students that do and can keep their GPA high enough to maintain their scholarship but I was unable to.

Too much governing on the student body and not enought freedom.

The tuition is cheap, but everything else is really expensive. The food they do serve isn't that healthy, it's like eating fast food every day. It is much cheaper to live off campus, but if you don't have a car, it is hard to get anywhere quickly because everything is spread out. Be careful about hte cannon center where a lot of people from Helaman Halls eat, they close a 6pm on Sundays and only open from 3pm-6pm on Fast Sundays. It also gets really cold here in Provo.

Close parking is sometimes hard to attain.

Some of the rules have created an oppurtunity for land lords to up the rent in off campus housing.

The large amount of applicants that make it more difficult to be accepted into the school.

If you do not have previous college experience, it will be hard for you to initially adjust.

I feel like the worse thing about my school is the lack of diversity and how it seems like the school lives in a bubble. It is almost as if my colllege is from a 1960s movie or somthing.
