Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Brigham Young University-Provo?

Shelli

Do not attend BYU if you feel repressed under the weight of high moral standards and requirements of honor, integrity, and a lot of patience.

Ian

Practicing homosexual. This is a private, church-owned school and doesn't permit such behavior.

Tori

Someone who doesn't want to live by high standards and morals should not attend BYU. BYU has a spiritual aspect to it, and most people who go there are Lds. So if people are uncomfortable with this then I suggest they don't go here.

Kelsey

Students attending BYU choose to live by a higher standard, by abiding by the honor code, and agreeing to uphold the standards of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Students who are not willing to do that should not attend.

Kamille

Any female who does not obey rules, or can't bond with other females.

Rebecca

I wouldn't recommend this school to someone who plans on having an extremely "loose" lifestyle--one who's planning on doing drugs, smoking, drinking alcohol, sleeping around, etc.. There is an Honor Code that students are required to sign, and expulsion can result from not abiding by its precepts.

Merridee

One who does not like following rules designed to create a safe, yet fun, learning environment

Mariah

Because the school is religiously affiliated, some may feel the environment is a little too homogenous for their taste. Don't come here if you're big on heated debates and lots of vastly different opinions on an issue.

R.

everyone should

Ward

If you get offended easily by people who have not yet learned how to be very open-minded. If you get irritated by large groups with similar (almost identical) ideologies. If you are not LDS and you do not wish to learn about the church, or if you are antagonistic to other faiths (constantly trying to prove your faith to others). If you get road rage easily, the drivers here are AWFUL.
