The lack of ethnic diversity and the pressure for everybody to get married

The focus on learning means that you actually have to do it. This means that sometimes you have tons of work to do all at once but you are learning all along the way.

You're no longer the smartest kid- everybody there is a genius.

The professors have teaching assistants who do a lot of the grading and some even make the tests. This is pretty ridiculous because you can become a TA as long as you've taken the class before. This means I could determine the grade of students in a class that I don't know much about. You can TA for any class, even if it has nothing to do with your major.

The ocassional crappy professor.

The most frustrating thing about BYU is the transportation situation. Parking is free, which sounds great, but undergraduate parking lots are far from classes. The ones that don't require a 10 minute walk just to get to the main part of campus fill up by 8 in the morning. Bus passes with the local transportation department (UTA) are available... if you want to cough out $120 a year. Since the campus is located mostly on a hill, riding bikes is not the funnest option either. Walking only workso well if you live just south of campus.

I get really cold in the winter.

I think the most frustrating thing about BYU is trying to stay optimistic. There is always someone who gets better grades than you, looks better than you, plays better than you. You may have felt pretty confident in your abilities before coming here, but that feeling quickly subsides. Competition is tough and you have to be 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} on your game, 24/7. It gets exhausting, but in the end it's worth it.

There is a lot of competition academically. Because it's a private university they can be more picky about who comes here so you have to be on top of everything. Not really frustrating, but something you should know.

The people who are accepted to come here, but who are not willing to take their schooling seriously or live/verbally honor the standards they agreed to in order to attend. There are so many who do not get accepted, and it is disappointing to have people with these attitudes come and take a place away from someone else. There aren't a whole lot with this attitude, but if you're not willing to be serious or live the standards, this school is not for you; please leave the space for someone else who would appreciate it better. Thanks. :-)
