I have always found BYU-Idaho to be my preferred learning environment. It's true that the value is one of the best in the nation - you simply get more out of your education for the money that you put in - but that's not why I chose to stay at BYU-Idaho. I chose to stay because of the honor code. It helps to create an environment where I can feel comfortable around other people who share the same standards.

As far as academics go, I've known students who have been accepted to other universities - sometimes considered more prestigious - and have preferred to come here. I've noticed that the smaller size and more personable feel has greatly influenced their decisions. Finally, as far as I've observed, this school offers a class A education. I will recognize that it is a growing school, and with it comes growing pains and relatively minor mistakes in administration. But if you take the time to see all of the quality strengths offered here, you won't reject the school because of a few small weaknesses.

I've found that people from other religions and other parts of the world do very well here - not just locals. Those who complain about the honor code are typically short-sighted and simply don't see the big picture. If you come to BYU-Idaho you won't see a perfect school, but you'll see the goodness that it can bring. That goodness is because of the honor code.
