BYU is God's School
IntroductionWhen considering BYU, think about it with a prayer. I chose BYU because it felt correct. Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, not everyone has to go to BYU, and definitely not everyone makes it. It doesn't make you less of a person for not going to BYU. Schools are like stakes and each needs to be strengthened by those with good gifts, and the capacity to understand and reason through the best parts of life.
Those who purposely would intend to break the school's Honor Code, from the first day on out, should NOT attend this school. The application of honor and the commitment to uphold these principles is central to the curriculum and the teachings of this university. You don't mess up and try to crawl back. Repentance is a part of life that we don't do without, but intentionally committing heinous acts is unacceptable at this university. If all you want to do is commit sins and party till your eyeballs bleed, don't come here.
Campus Life and Social LifeParties are anywhere that there are more than five people in the same room, and class isn't in session. Sports are a big part of student life, although they mainly apply to intramurals teams besides the larger school (university teams). Clubs are great! There is a large variety-- everything from fencing and capoeira, to break dancing, salsa club, BBQing club, to Single Parent support groups and juggling to Young Republicans. We have enough clubs, so that the ideas and intentions of the student body become supported in otherwise unknown nor mentioned networks.

AcademicsMost departments are hard. BYU is not an easy school. Rewards are based upon what you put in.
Student BodyMorally, students do their best to remain chaste, and to be virtuous and uplift others. With a large student body come the challenges that face such an institution. Students come from California, Utah, the intermountain West, all other states in the United States, Canada, and various countries around the world including Mongolia, China, and Japan.
Most students are into the Church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints backs the school, and helps the people who live here live better, more virtuous lives than is often found in other colleges towns and resorts. With Park City and Salt Lake City only 45 minutes away, there is still a lot of culture (typical of the fashion found in cowboy days with many modern arrivals.) It's a great place to work, live, eat and drink (non-alcoholic), to play and feel like part of a community.
In Closing...BYU ROCKS!
