Brigham Young Universität - Provo, Utah

This is one of the best Universities in the entire country! Not only do they teach great academics, but is one of the few that hasn't gone completely rediculous woke! The Wasatch mountains just behind it are some of the most beautiful as well. Football games in this stadium are so fun and the backdrop is breathtaking!

Best college ever! In my opinion. I mean, obviously, some colleges do certain things better, I'm not dumb. Utah State has my favorite campus, and obviously Ivy League schools have more prestigious educations and stuff, but this is still my favorite!

Outstanding university with a talented pool of students. Situated in one of the most breathtakingly scenic locations for a university campus, with stunning mountains on the doorstep of the school, your walks to class will be often awe-inspiring. There has been a lot of updating on the campus. Make no mistake, this is a unique environment that won't be for everyone. But for active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or those who like the clean-cut environment, it is a great place to get an education. Though it has a well-deserved reputation as being very conservative, you will find a lot more political diversity here than you expect on many issues. And with the majority of students from outside the state of Utah, in many ways, it is more diverse than any other school in Utah, and less in the "bubble" than critics often claim. Great place to get an education. And the cost for the value is incredible!

Brigham Young University has been voted 21st of the prettiest college campuses. It is a stunning campus nestled beneath the gorgeous Cascade mountains with the huge Y on it. BYU is known for their high standards in academics, integrity, and morality. The campus has beautiful landscaping, the buildings are kept up nicely and are beautifully designed. The student housing is new and nice. Great place to go for further education.

Life changing to be a student here. Academically rigorous, many great research opportunities, and some of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve ever met. The university has its pros and cons, but I consistently see evidence that the institution and many of the individuals here really prioritize the well-being and growth of the students. There are great paid-research opportunities for undergraduates. The campus looks amazing and in the spring it’s just unbelievable. There are some great study spots for all of my different moods — you can study by streams, ducks, instrument displays, statues, terraces, museums, lounges, etc.

Great university! Amazing value for the price and I liked how it included a religious education. I have many fond memories of lots of classes that I took (in the psychology and business departments). If you’re looking for a school with high moral and ethical standards, then this is the place for you.
On the other hand, BYU might not be for everyone, to be honest. There is a strict honor code that all students must live by to keep a good standing with the university.
While there is always some room for activism to change the university's honor code standards, BYU is a private university and may not be required to make such changes.
If you're looking for a university in Utah Valley that does not hold students to the same moral standard as BYU, then Utah Valley University may be a better place to look for an education.
At the end of the day, I think that this is a great place to study for anyone who is looking for academic rigor, a religious education, and a university that holds a high moral standard.

Oh, and if you like chocolate milk, there's a lot of that. And there are lots of nice mountains that are right behind the school.

I go to UVU. The other day, I took a tour at BYU because I was interested in potentially transferring. The tour guide kept saying things that were supposedly unique to BYU, but are things literally most other universities do. Here are some examples
"Something really cool at BYU is our professors do something called office hours. You can actually schedule an appointment to meet with them" (that is a pretty common thing in college, not unique to BYU)
"BYU is one of the only universities in the country that offeres an undergraduate cadaver lab" (to be fair, that might be true, but I do know for a FACT that UVU does that, and I'm 95% sure that SUU and USU do that as well. So it is not quite as unique as they were claiming it to be)

But the one that really got me was this
"Something really unique about the education department at BYU is that you get to do student teaching, and you actually graduate with your teaching certificate so you can start teaching right away. At a lot of other universities you have to get your teaching license and do student teaching after you graduate"
? Believe me, as someone who is literally majoring in education, it is pretty well expected that you will graduate with your teaching license AND do student teaching no matter where you go to school at. This is definitely not something unique to BYU.

Overall BYU seems like a good school and there is a lot I like about it. I just feel like some of the students (not all) act pretty snobby and like BYU is comparable to like Harvard or MIT.

I personally wouldn’t recommend attending BYU if you intend to grow your knowledge and self as a person. This University is appropriate for sheltered Young Adults that would like to remain that way, without experiencing diversity and different ways of thinking.
