The best thing about BYU is the campus spirit and community. Because nearly all of the students are the same religion it provides cohesiveness and group identity. We also love our sports.
Heidi
I consider the students to be the best thing. They are always helpful to the new students.
Ian
Great quality school for undergraduate programs. Graduate programs good quality but limited in number and very competative.
Brian
The environment in which the students feel for each other, and care for one another. This is manifest by the standards held here by practically everyone, since one must sign a form stating they'll follow the honor code.

The staff are friendly and genuinely care about you. The classes are challenging but you can always find help when you need it. There is so much school pride, and you don't have to worry about things like people drinking, doing drugs, or breaking the law of chastity, because to attend BYU you abide by a strict Honor Code. It is such a wonderful school, and it's hard to pick the best things about it because everything is so wonderful.

The best thing about Brigham Young University is the freedom it gives me to puruse my educational, as well as spiritual, goals. Just as our founding fathers came to America in search of religious freedom, we are free to engage our intellectual and spiritual sides in the pursuit of higher education. I couldn't make it through college life without it. Afterall, how many students enter college testing centers around the world without first offering up a supplication or prayer? At BYU, this is acknowledged as an essential part of our lives, no matter what religion we may be.

Nearly everyone at this university shares the same values which include service, charity, and kindness. If you ever have any problems everyone wants to help you out. Students encourage each other to be open-minded, even though it is a private religious school, and to be kind (even to our rivals). My favorite thing is knowing that if I ever needed anything at any time of day or night I could run over to the next apartment and somebody would help me out for sure. Nearly everybody here is really good.

The best thing about BYU is the environment. Everyone is ready and willing to help. There is no drinking, drugs, or other distractions that you get at other universities. It is academically challenging and very highly recruited for any field of study.
Jessica
I think the best thing about BYU is our ability to have fun, learn, make friends, and enjoy life while still sticking to our standards regarding alcohol, drugs, sex, etc. At many colleges, abuse of these things happens quite a bit and I believe much of that is due to the idea that those those things are necessary to have a good time. Consequently, life can get out-of-control surprisingly quickly. At BYU, however, these things are rare, and that is great because we are able to really learn about and have fun as ourselves.

The best thing about BYU is definitely the spirit of the classroom. Every class gets into deep discussions and exciting lectures because the teachers truly care about what they teach. The students feel important and everyone has the goal of improving together. No matter if you are in a class of 500 or 12, you can know that there will always be a friendly face to sit by and a great discussion to take part in. I have learned so much during my time here.
