The school may be pretty competitive, but the people here look out for each other. I love going to school here. Sure, I wish that I had studied harder to get a better GPA, but the memories I have made here have been priceless.

There is so much life here. In someways I miss the diversity that's available at other schools but BYU has a special kind of diversity. I've met students from, literally, all over the world. Belgium, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Canada, Colombia, Scotland, the list goes on. It's been one of the most colorful parts of my education, to learn about different cultures. We don't have a lot of religious diversity but we have some beautiful cultural diversity.

The learning environment helps me to be motivated and focused on my future.

The best thing about BYU is its emphasis on a complete education. Education is more than just academics. We are expected to grow academically of course, but we are also expected to contribute within the community and to develop socially and spiritually.

The best thing about BYU is the high standards it holds its students to. Not just academically, but morally. Holding us to high moral standards, such as no drugs, no alcohol, no promiscuity, and honesty makes us better students. I can better focus on my education when my body is healthy and clean of harmful substances. I can feel more pride and drive for my education because I know I'm getting the grades I deserve, not the grades I cheated for.

It offers a wide range of majors catered to specific interests.

I think the best thing about the BYU is the campus. It is lovely to sit outside and enjoy the weather. There is also ample seating indoors during the winter. There are plenty of outdoor activities for students to participate in year round. There are really good professors that care about their students.
