REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe teachers here are amazing and really know their stuff. Because this school is a religion school, you can definitely feel the spirit and it's great because it's a constant thing. The teachers here are great at teaching, telling you what you need to know, and tying our religion into everything. It makes the classes very interesting.
Jillise from Boise, ID
My professors are remarkably wise, not only in the topic they are teaching but also in life lessons. They are always willing to help me understand the material. All of my professors are really interested in helping me succeed. The class material is rigorous but if you stay caught up on your homework, do what your teacher asks, and are always focusing and paying attention in class you will be surprised how much you learn.
Brittany from Kaysville, UT
It is amazing to me the number of top notch instructors here on campus! Many of them left higher paying positions to come here and I am so grateful they did. I have become close friends with many of my instructors who take the time to know you personally, both on an academic and friendly level. Classes are not easy, but that is what college is about. I have learned more here than I think I would have at any other university.
Emily from Roseville, CA
This is my first semester up here, and I've already learned more than I thought possible. The teachers here are all amazing, and have great backgrounds. They set time aside to help students and talk with them if needed, and they are all so helpful. The career advisers are all helpful with deciding what courses you should take and how to plan. Everyone here makes learning fun! You also have prayer before every class, so it invites the Spirit to be there, which is the best teacher of all!
Kesha from Idaho Falls, ID
Classes are wonderful! As always, teachers aren't perfect but you definitely get out what you put into your education! If you go in wanting to learn and put in the effort you will get a lot out of if! I love the atmosphere, it makes you feel right at home, especially your first few weeks there!
Adrianna from Charleston, IL
I have learned so much here at BYU-Idaho. The professors are very willing to help anyone with any questions and help understand the subject being taught. I also have not only learned a ton but have already been able to apply and use everything I have learned in my life the same day.
I have also learned how to a leader. Even as a freshman I was in charge of a major school event. I got to learn how to deal with people in different situations, how to run an event, and take charge of a week long schooling and community event.

Melissa from Gilbert, AZ
When I came to this school, I thought I knew music and knew the Book of Mormon. I was dead wrong. I have learned more about music, life, and my own religion than I ever thought possible. I've only been there a year, but I feel like I've learned enough to last me a lifetime and beyond.
Cameo from Yucaipa, CA
At Brigham Young University- Idaho, you always have the opportunity to learn more. We have a system called the Learning Model and students are encouraged to implicate the the model daily in all applications on campus. I have learned much because of the process, which includes: preparing for class before class, teaching one another during class, and pondering/proving the material after class. There are many opportunities, available on campus to gain knowledge in any area you desire.
Alexa from Rio Rancho, NM
My professors have always been very approachable. Most have flexible office hours to help work around students' schedules. They teach with the spirit, and as they are encouraged to maximize learning, most encourage active group and class participation, discussions, and study groups.
Steven from Henderson, NV
never before have i been exposed to an environment more perfect for learning than my own home.
