The school is definitely difficult but very rewarding. The people you are surrounded by are hardworking and good examples. The campus is absolutely beautiful! They always have fun events and activities happening on campus and they make all of the sporting events fun for all of the students by providing a roc section and letting them participate in half time games. Each of the professors are unique and their lectures are very entertaining and interesting. I feel completely safe while on campus and Provo is a fun city with a lot going on and activities to do. Overall, BYU is a great school academically and socially.

BYU is a wonderful school! The pricing is quite affordable, especially considering the caliber of school it is. Academics are great, the staff is devoted to helping students to succeed, and it seems like there are lots of programs focused on helping the individual students. It is not a diverse school by any means, but it makes up for that in that most students are bilingual. A beautiful campus, with decent housing. It also has great food available on campus, is very safe, and student life is great, with lots of things to do outside of class.
I have attended Brigham Young University for one year. My experiences has edified me and helped me grow and learn very quickly! The environment is very uplifting, and everyone I have met has been very enthusiastic about learning and contributing to a great growing environment. The campus is very beautiful, and located right next to the Rocky Mountains. Brigham Young University could be no better fit for me and my college education.
