Brigham Young University-Idaho - Rexburg, Idaho

Spent the best 3 years of my life here. Teachers are amazing, peers are awesome, lot of fun activities on campus and helped me rediscover my love for the church and all around improve my life, knowledge, and mentality.

Buy-I is a fantastic school with a fantastic campus. One of the things I love most about it is that the campus isn’t huge so it is pretty easy to go from class to class and be in time. Some may find that the dress codes and standards are high, which they are, but I think this is what sets those who are serious about getting a great education here apart. I would highly recommend anyone to this school. Grateful that I have had the opportunity to study here.

The best of the teachers, the best policies and the most affordable tuition and housing. There are nice places for camping and having fun. All the tutors and extra help from the school is for free if you show willingness and responsibility. If you are interested you can pm me and I'll be more than willing to let you know about everything that BYUI has to offer you.

BYU-Idaho is the best thing to ever happen to me. It is a great university with a great environment. Every class is opened with a prayer which I didn't really like at first but I have grown to love it. Most teachers are very understanding of all kinds of circumstances and the classes are small enough that the teachers actually try to get to you know. It is just a very caring environment compared to other universities. Like others have said, the academic advising center and the financial aid center are run by a bunch of students who have no idea what they're doing which is quite frustrating but you will get help eventually just probably not as quickly as you'd want. The health center is also really hard to get ahold of and not very helpful but all schools have their down falls. Overall, BYUI is a great university. It has the lowest tuition you will ever find but also a quality education. They do have an intense honor code in some aspects but if you can't follow it and want to complain about it, go somewhere else. The honor code is put in place to keep students safe.

Forces all freshmen to take a mandatory class involving weekly social gatherings and extra homework to commit to personal progress regarding their academics within BYUI.

This program, called "Experience BYU-Idaho," was created to save themselves from students who are more likely to leave the school due to a lack of determination. Meaning they punish all students with mandatory work, equal to one credit, just because of a select few.

This strategy, made out of cowardice and ignorance, has achieved the opposite effect in me and many of my classmates. The excess workload ONTOP of all other classes (including required general education classes) has diminished our determination and lowered our overall enthusiasm and pride to be students of BYUI.

It is clear that BYUI does not prioritize the personal lives of its students but rather its student population (more students means more money). Displays of bad moral characters such as this have influenced my opinion in rating this school one star. I hope others do the same so that BYUI will actually listen to our voices for a change. (Worse reviews mean fewer students, which means less money).

Everything is about the wallet in major corporations and, though I had hoped the affiliation with the Church would mean this issue is less problematic ("For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." -Luke 18:25), BYUI is no exception as proven by their atrocious policies.

If you desire to study at a university that offers world class teaching at a most competitive price then I have no qualms in saying this is a place you should consider. A well maintained and stocked campus is complemented by a large supply of fantastic teachers. The University is committed to improving its' facilities and resources yearly and remains a top choice nationwide.

I don't know why in the last week there have been so many bad reviews.. Yes, it's true: Rexburg is not the best place for the weather and if you like cities you'll miss them here. But the school is awesome. Yes, there are imperfections like in every other university you can go but the cool thing here is that you can talk with imperfect people (like me) that are striving to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that are trying to get better day after day. I saw few things that were not right as well but I think that overall, this university is great and getting better.

We toured the campus with our daughter yesterday. It was very clean and the landscaping was very well kept. The gymnasium and I-Center were huge and the wall art was excellent. We enjoyed lunch in the MC where the facilities were clean and the staff we very friendly. We wondered how students could afford to eat there - it was quite expensive for a casual lunch. We spent some time in the book store and bought a few treats. All in all a very nice outing. Thanks for a good experience.
