This school has it all.  It has serious, high achieving students who have a moral code as well as being academic.  It is refreshing to walk the campus and to not see people smoking or in risque attire.  The students are nicely groomed and seem confident and happy. The teachers care about the students and teach in creative, innovative ways.  The teachers are continuing their search for knowledge as well as the students.  Their sports programs are well known and competivite.  The campus is in a beautiful location up against the mountains and the buildings are well maintained.  There is not... review »

As a graduate from Brigham Yong University, I've got to speak up to say how much I appreciated my experiences there.  I was taught by some of the greatest minds from this and any country, whether LDS or not.  I met the most dedicated, hardworking and loyal friends I could ever find while living both on-campus and off-campus.  Yes, the standards are tough to reach, and the honor code can seem restricting at times, but I would repeat the experience in a heartbeat. I was glad to be surrounded by people who really cared, not just about their education, but about where they were going in life, and... review »

I attended BYU 4 years and graduated with a major in history and minors in editing and dance. With my varied areas of study, I got to experience many different aspects of BYU. All were very satifying. The campus is beautiful, and for the most part, everyone respects and takes care of the campus. The students and faculty are friendly and kind. The faculty truly care about you and want you to succeed, not only educationally, but also spiritually, emotionally, socially, etc.
I felt safe on campus. People have high morals. I look back at my experience fondly. The value of my education can't be beat....

Brigham Young University (BYU) is renown for its academic standards and the students are held to a high standard of moral and personal attributes.  The students who graduate from this University demonstrate a high degree of learning and personal skills that make them choice candidates for high paying positions in the work force.  I would consider this to be one of the most accredited Universities in the contry.

BYU is the best value for your money. It typically costs less than in-state tuition and is a high-quality education. The student body is also wonderful and refreshing compared to many other schools. A great investment in your future if you want to make a good career for yourself.

You just can't beat the bang for your buck. The price is currently around $4,000 in tuition a year and the professors are amazing. And if you're into skiing, you're just about an hour away from some of the worlds best powder mountains.

I attended BYU for the first 2 years of my educaiton. The greatest part about BYU was that the teachers were respectful to students and required the same from the students. After my husband graduated and got a job in Arizona, I transferred to ASU and was shocked by the language and attitude of many of the teachers, as well as the students. I felt BYU was a much better quality of education, as well as teaching good, wholesome values that should be valued today as much as they have been in he past. It's sad how often words that are offensive are said in casual conversation. Despite that, the classroom...

Brigham Young University is a great school to go to if you have Christian values and standards.  It is extremely nice to be in a place where drinking and smoking are completely out of place.  Where there is not shattered beer bottles all over the ground, or people puking on the sidewalks.  The cleanliness of the campus and the wonderful job that the grounds crew does with the flowers everywhere is awesome.  However, only plan on attending Brigham Young University if you are serious about school.  If you really just want to go to college to get away from your parents and screw around a lot,...

I graduated from Brigham Young University and feel that I received so much more than just an education. I went to school with an incredible group of people. Every single student and faculty member was tops. I felt safe at all times, never felt like just a number, no matter how large my classes were. I've been out in the "real world" for a few years now and look back with great pride at being able to attend such an incredible institution! The cost of four years at this top University is less expensive than other private universities for one year. The campus is beautiful and the students are so clean...

I loved my days at Brigham Young University. I was undecided in my major for my first couple of years, but then found my calling and future career field in Sports Medicine. BYU prepared me so well for my career. I got over 3000 hours of practical work prior to graduation, as well as amazing class instruction from some of the best professors on campus!

I love, love, loved the social scene at BYU. There was a variety of people to hang out with. There was always something to do.

The cost of my entire undergraduate education was less than the cost of 1 year at some of the private universities that I...

Brigham Young University is hard to get into, but once you are there it has everything.  The education you receive is rich and varied, with a good general education program and even better colleges and study programs.  There are independent study programs, the professors are approachable and serious about their work, and the atmosphere is one of fun but goal oriented learning.  The library is excellent, and BYU is ahead of the game in getting students the best education possible in every way.  Not just about academic learning, the higher standards you learn there will benefit your life in every... review »

Brigham Young University has an outstanding academic program, a great social scene, and amazing athletics programs.  My personal favorite is of course the football team.  Bronco Mendenhall has done a fabulous job of turning the program around and creating something amazing.  No one will ever forget the Beck-to-Harline pass to win the BYU-U of U game a few years ago!

The J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University offers a stellar legal education in a morally sensitive environment.  The education offers instruction in law, but also discussion about issues of morality and ethics.  The religious affiliation of BYU creates a unique educational environment that creates strong and educated individuals for future service.
