Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Absolutely! My classes are even more challenging than all of the AP classes I took in high school. Plus, BYU has the benefit of being able to combine secular and religious education, so all that I'm learning in every class, ranging from chemistry to Book of Mormon, is applicable in all aspects of my life, religious or secular.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Between creative FHE activities fingerpainting and hiking the Y and football games and True Blue Tuesdays, I can't even imagine what my life would have been like at any other university. College offers many new experience, most challenging, but many more exciting and memorable and fun.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Not only is BYU's tuition much, much less than any other university, but it also offers quite a few additional scholarships. And, in my opinion, the quality of education offered here is every bit as good as that offered at many $40,000-per-year schools.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take advantage of everything there is to do on campus. There are so many different clubs, like Premed club or Salsa dancing club or the medieval club practicing sword fighting, and intramural sports and fantastic music groups like the Cougar Marching Band or Living Legends or the BYU Young Ambassadors. And there are so many campus events, from football games to career and internship fairs and dances. Don't focus too much on getting your education finished that you miss out on all the exciting experiences you can have along the way.
