Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

What kind of person should attend Brigham Young University-Provo?

Blake

No slackers.

Julianna

BYU's positive reputation is undeserved. Elementary course work fails to develop critical thinking. I literally used crayons for homework. High School was harder. BYU does not provide University level education. BYU's mission statement is to promote Mormonism. Women are expected to drop out, marry, make babies, and serve husbands. Intellectuals, women, persons of "diversity," non-Mormons, and children of divorce are not served by BYU's community. If you are not simpleminded and don't fit into the "Mormon mold," you will be ostracized by the student body, professors, religious community, and isolated given the geographical location.

The kind of person who should attend Brigham Young University-Provo is one that highly values their own education and who can live the standards of the BYU honor code and uphold those standards. Also, it should be someone who is not expecting to have an easy ride through college. A person who attends this university, should be one who will be willing to work hard for their education and really gain the knowledge and skills that they will need to succeed in their career.

Joshua

Anyone willing to work hard for their education. This school can get you to far places. But if you are not willing to put forth the effort if you want to succeed. The classes are big and the teachers expect a lot from you. It is all worth it though. Because if you can make it through the stresses of college. You can expect a great future with a degree from here.

BYU is exactly the place for self-motivated, honest and hard-working students. On-campus jobs are plentiful, an honor code is enforced and all grades and honors are awarded on merit alone. Many students are Mormon and have a pro-rated tuition, but all are welcome. Athletes succeed on the intercollegiate teams. Any student willing to work for good grades will succeed because professors offer office hours to help as well as the university-provided TA's and tutoring centers. BYU is for those willing to reach for their goals.

Angela

Those who enjoy being academically challenged

Madeline

Students who want to attend BYU should definitely be willing to go above and beyond the bare minimum because the students at BYU are generally very driven and hard working. They should also have high moral standards and be willing to follow the university's honor code. If they aren't willing to follow it, they shouldn't even apply because it is such a big part of BYU. Conversely, they should also be pretty social and enjoy the random games and activities that are constantly around campus. In short, they should want to work hard and play hard.

Jacob

Someone who wants to become a better person, who is motivated to work hard, and who wants to learn. Also, someone who wants to have fun and socialize will find that here too.

Payton

Students who attend this school should be very strongly academically driven. They should be ready to be part of an extremely friendly, upbeat, and conservative student body. They should be prepared to work hard and make sacrifices in order to keep up in school. They should enjoy being around people who are very religious and conservative.
