Brigham Young University-Provo Top Questions

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

Tim

Someone who is looking for a party school or a free ride through college. One of the star football players on our team was suspended from the team for not complying with academic standards, so there is no sympathy for those who do not do the work necessary to do well in school. Someone who is not motivated should not come to this school.

Stephanie

There is a very strict honor code and dress code here. If you are the kind of person that likes to dress and act differently than is described in that honor code, consider going elsewhere. It is very annoying to have someone who signed that document and knew what they signed up for complain to the rest of campus. It is part of the experience and it is part of what makes BYU the way it is.

Shelly

someone that does not respect other religions. anyone who is looking for a free ride.

Ashley

I think BYU is a very accepting Univeristy. Anyone who loves enjoying life and working hard would be happy at BYU. Some people might think that you have to be LDS (Mormon) to fit in, but that's not true. Students will or won't like you b/c of your character and personality, not your religion.

Nat

A rabidly liberal, pro-homosexual lifestyle, obnoxiously tree-hugging, hardcore aethist. The biggest thing is people have to have a positive attitude.

Candace

Someone who is not prepared to work hard and demand attention from their professors. The school is very large and the professors are usually overwhelmed between their students and research so you have to be a very involved and proactive student to succeed.

Steve

People who like to drink, smoke, do drugs, or have premaritial sex definitely should not attend this school.

James

Anyone liberal or who doesn't want to live a clean life.
