I love Brigham Young University! The school is located in Provo, Utah where there are a lot of Mormons and is a private school so the standards of the LDS faith and the honor code holds true here. This school is not your average school! We do not drink alcohol and it is super safe out at night. There are still a ton of things to do such as hiking and camping. Many activities happen everywhere. This school is relatively cheap compared to other school and has a great quality education and there are many resources and help one can receive and to succeed.
Review Brigham Young University
I love BYU! It is an amazing place to get an education because you are surrounded by the best of the best. There are amazing professors in all of the colleges that genuinely care about your success. The students are also very driven-- everyone wants to become the best they can be so there is a lot of competition. This is a good thing because you will push yourself and learn so much so you can be prepared to lead when you get into your career. Lastly, I love BYU because there are opportunities all over to serve! It keeps everyone thinking about other people and makes BYU a positive, uplifting university!
BYU is a fantastic school with incredible professors and a great active-learning environment. Everyone that goes to school there wants to learn and do their best. It is very competitive, but the students and teachers are always nice and willing to help if you ask. I've loved the last couple of years I've gone to school here, and although it has been extremely challenging, I wouldn't want to go to college anywhere else!
