Great people, but we've had to fight to be here. From issues with academic advising, (them not changing our major caused consistent issues with FAFSA applicable credits since 2017) to issues with the health center charging us randomly, to issues with the financial office charging us randomly for something a year previously taken care of, we recommend very thoroughly hashing out your major or else having to struggle for most of the time if you make any adjustments. Student workers tend to not know the real and current facts and drop the ball, but you don't figure that out until you hit some kind of dead end. Be sure to pay attention, otherwise they can cause some delays, potentially damage, to your future. Keep on top of any communication or appointments with academic and financial advising or just skip the students altogether and only meet with full time non student faculty. Do that and you'll be fine. Aside from those issues, education here is great, Spirit is great, and I would (sadly only slightly) recommend it as your future University. But it's good enough to be that. Just be vigilant of your student account and your major.

BYUI is a completely different educational experience from a typical university. If you choose to embrace being teachable, you'll love it! If you want a 'typical' college experience that expects nothing more of you than tuition, pick another college! If you want life-altering growth in all areas of your life, BYUI is the way to go!
I would NEVER recommend this school. We learned the hard way. I ve had 2 children and a son in law go to the school.
This school is dishonest. Each of our children ha e been told that they ve met the requirements for graduation. However, they ve all been told they have one more class. The school doesn t have a professional academic advisement department. They are staffed fully by students and they change from term to term.
My daughter was told that when she completed her internship that she would have graduated. She just called the school and AGAIN they ve told her she she needed another class. They are dishonest at worst and inept at best. Go somewhere else
This is an amazing school full of amazing people! I feel like I was able to make so many friends here. There is so many activities to choose from so you should never feel bored with nothing to do. If you have trouble making friends, go check out some of the groups on campus. They have always welcomed me in with open arms and made me feel like I was an important part of their group. The professors are almost always nice and understanding and were more than happy to make proper accommodations when I was hit by a car and was suffering from short term memory loss. I look forward to finishing my schooling here and can't wait to start my next semester next month.
I enjoy my time there, but it's defiantly still developing. As time goes on it will become a better university, but for now we just have to be grateful for a decent education at such a low cost.
Being at BYU-Idaho has taught me on how to be a disciple-leader better than any place I have ever been. The resources provided to me here I know I can't find anywhere else. It's such a blessing to study here in such a warm and enriching environment.
I am excited to attend this school. I have just heard the best about this school. So far all the process of applying here has been great for me and everyone has been very helpful
BYUI has been a great place to learn and grow and nothing can take that away, or so you thought. BYUI requires you to take 1 or 2 credit courses as part of each of your semester course of classes. However these professors don't get the hint that their class are 1 or 2 credit courses and they issue tons of work which takes tons of time from learning other more important classes which will help you more in your degree. I tried asking if I could drop a 2 credit course and still receive financial aid, while still being a full time student. Answer; "No." So in sort, you either go to an university in which you pay more and get good classes that don't distract you from your major or come here, pay less and be forced to take classes that pull you away from your major. Simple as that.
My wife goes here, and this is a great institution in so many ways (great professors, fun students, speakers and devotionals, the works). The unfortunate part is how terribly unorganized the administration is. It almost became humorous to us how many times we had to submit and re-submit the same paperwork to them before they stopped losing it. We figured it would all end and we'd be good to go, but unfortunately that's not the case. She just got done with her third semester there and they still give us grief with random TB test requirements and the like. It's a real bummer that such a great school has such a poor administration. Before the administration is considered I'd give the school a B+ (not quite an A, just because most of the classes you take are not recognized by other schools and are not transferable but that's not a huge deal. In my opinion the Tuesday devotionals would make that up. Those are way cool). Once you throw the administration into the mix that's when they plummet to a D- sadly.
This University changed my life. I knew that there was a lot of flack about it being a school that was too strict and the standards were ridiculous and outrageous. I had friends that told me that most of the students were hypocrites. I made it a matter of prayer and I had several other schools that I was considering and the Lord told me BYUI was where I needed to be. I didn't go there because I couldn't stand the pressures of the world, most of my good and closest friends are not members of the church and don't live the same lifestyle that I do. I didn't go there because it was the Mormon thing to do. I found out the reason I needed to be there my second semester there. I am a piano performance major and the reason I needed to be there was for my piano teacher. He helped me grow in my chosen career more than any other piano teacher could because he understood what it meant to teach people and not lessons. I gained a greater love and appreciation for music because of it. I am not saying that BYUI is for everyone, because it is not. Make it a matter of prayer and you will know where you need to be. As for me BYUI was where I needed to be and it felt right for me.
I only went here for 1 year. That was too long. Yes there were some good professors. And I was so close to getting my BA but this school nearly killed me. My spiritual growth plummeted, and it wasn't for lack of trying. And the students, 99.9% were so caught up in finding their "perfect mate" that they blew off anyone else. I had no friends. It was terrible. And if you have any disabilities, they won't do anything. And my husband, he didn't even attend the second semester online once we moved away and he was charged for it. We contacted the president of BYUI and many others, No one would even email us back. We called. Nothing. We were stuck paying that bill. Because we couldn't even get his transcripts so he could go to school elsewhere till that was paid. Don't waste your time here.
I'm about to graduate, and overall I have very mixed feelings. The pricing is great and most of my teachers were pretty exceptional as well. The overall experience was good. But there are some major problems, BYUI isn't about a great education. It's about pushing students through as quickly as possible. Which is why they pressure faculty to come in at 120 credits for majors that should be 140-160. Teachers and faculty try to maintain the educational integrity so instead of cutting courses they simply cut the number of credits each course is worth. Subsequently what is 14 credits at BYUI would often be more like 18-20 credits elsewhere. You might think, well than I'll just take 10 credits, which would usually be equivalent to 14 elsewhere. The problem is that than you don't get the full student aid or scholarship funds because you are less than 14 credits. The end result is that you are essentially taking 18-20 credits and drowning in coursework all semester. BYUI's constant desire to compete with other academic greats often leaves it's student's with a great deal of frustration and depleted self esteem because at any reasonable state school they would be in the top percentages of their class. The effect is that lots of students get lower GPA's than they deserve for a school that doesn't have a reputation to back it up. No one looks at this school and thinks, oh they got a 3.2 but it's BYUI so that's amazing. It might act like Harvard, but no one outside of Rexburg cares about it like Harvard. If I were able to do it over again, I would never attend this university. There is so much more, but these are a couple of highlights.
Trying to work with BYU-Idaho to figure out my schooling has been like navigating the bureaucracy of a developing nation. I can't deny that a few individuals have been very helpful, but overall nobody knows what their doing. The rules get in the way of common sense. Everything I've tried to do has required hours of telephone calls and worthless advising sessions.
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.
Best college in the world. I cant imagine a better place to have done my undergrad. As a dental student BYUI did a great job of preparing me to be successful in life. While BYUI is not perfect for everyone, if you are looking for a spiritual environment and a place where professors actually care about you, BYUI is the place to be. I never once had a professor turn down a request for help, I met with many on a daily basis in their office helping me understand complicated physics and chemistry questions. They really cared about my learning and I loved that. It sucks they dont have sports teams, and no school colors or anything of that nature, but if you are outgoing and are willing to put yourself out there you will make a lot of friends and find a lot of great people. If not, you will hate it, and probably end up writing a bad review blaming everyone but yourself.
I am a sixth semester Computer Science student here. I came to this University knowing what the Honor Code and area would mean for me. I have not been dissatisfied with my education here and have loved it. The strictures of my major doesn't allow many 'fun' classes to be taken and that's a bummer. But the devotionals weekly, the Honor Code, and the walking distance Temple make this place have an awesome atmosphere. The degree I am getting is tough and challenging. I am very grateful for this school.
If I could give 0 stars, I would. I moved here to get away from the super Conservative, Christian fundamentalist ideals in South Carolina! But it's exactly the same. Most of the teachers are tolerable but the administration and student body are absolutely horrendous. For a college built on "love, acceptance and equality", there are a LOT of stuck-up, egotistical people here. They are just like any other "Christian" association: they want your money and would be more than willing to screw you out of it by any means necessary. B-E-W-A-R-E!
Here's what I thought about my experience at BYU-Idaho:
It was a "terrible" experience on my part, especially in the dorms (I got screamed at for "accidentally" touching one of my dorm mate's stuff). Some of the students at this university don't even care about the "Honor Code" that is imposed on them. Basically, the school here is just like any other college, so it doesn't matter what college you go to (only other colleges are more expensive than this one).
Moreover, the advertising for this college and the "good" reviews that go along with it are misleading, and I suggest that you stay away from this school and the flaws associated with it. I was forced to drop out because of the school's problems, and I am glad I am done attending this school. No more BYU-Idaho for me anymore.
I will admit, once upon a time I gave this school a 5-star rating. When I started school there in 2011 and even as I attended the school after my mission in 2015, this school had my highest respect.However, with the changes in policy, removal of some of the leading programs in the country, and after working for 2 years in one of the school's departments as a peer adviser, I can give you some real information as to how detrimental the new changes have been to the University. A quote given by President Eyring states "The essence of BYU-Idaho .... is the individual investment of faculty in the lives of everyday students." It is a wonderful quote from President Eyring, but when "where the rubber meets the road", the individual does not feel or benefit they are hollow words. I had the opportunity to physically be in meetings where faculty of the University told us our purpose as peer advisers were to help the students to where they could "enter the University, and get out as soon as possible." This doesn't seem like a devotion to helping the individual to me. I witnessed too many students being forced to take classes they didn't need, being neglected when searching for help, and even being forced to transfer, drop out, or leave for mistakes made by the University. I saw policies change in order to make the school's programs look better to the rest of the world, while the students graduating were being unprepared in their careers. It hurts my heart to see a school that held such a dear place in my heart become a place of neglect to those seeking a quality education. If you are looking for a University where the policy is established for helping the students, the local legislature doesn't monopolize when it comes to housing, and you can find security in your future career...Brigham Young University-Idaho is not it.
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.
People whine about the rules and other things, but where else can you go to get an amazing education for less than 2 grand a semester? I've had a great time here and gotten an education that allows me to work with amazing people.
Brigham Young University Idaho is an overall good institution. It has its pros and cons...
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but some of the positive aspects include a caring and interested faculty, very friendly student body, graduate school oriented curriculum, and an excess of extracurricular activities.
Some negative aspects include an obvious rift that exists between the respectable faculty and the often times difficult to handle administration. The honor code can be difficult to swallow, but as the fans of the honor code so predictably say...it's something you agree to before you come. Lastly, it is not a research institution...if you want research in the sciences you can find it, but it is limited.
It prepared me for and helped me get into medical school so I have very little to complain about. It got me to where I want to be.
I just want to do what I can to warn anyone considering BYU-Idaho. I took on campus classes as well as online. If you are a normal student you might be ok but if you have ANY sort of situation you are out of luck. Prepare to spend hours on the phone/waiting in offices trying to speak to someone who knows anything at all. I had a HUGE problem with the employment, administration and scholarship departments. I had several problems that I needed addressed (ie:scholarships, graduation questions, special circumstances.) I went to the respective offices and was told that there was nothing they could do. I returned countless times and spoke to many different people. I got the problems taken care of using my own time and resources but it was nearly impossible to do so. They do not respect students time. The basic answer was "Im sorry, I cant help you." No one even tried and the answers they did give me were wrong. One employee, namely Kristine, accused me of being uneducated and not actively involved in my education. On the contrary, I have held a 4.0 GPA and care very much about my grades and the type of education I receive. BYU-Idaho is the one that doesn't care. The only part of BYU-Idaho I enjoyed was the teachers. Administration was awful at best. Good luck future students.
I had the worse experiences while attending BYU-I. I gave all my time and all of my into hours of studying. Yet, I made D's and F's. I finally went to a classmate and asked her if we could compare answers. She had the exact same answers as I did and she got A's. I went to the professor and asked him why that was the case and if I could do make up work to help save my grade and GPA. He said he doesn't grade then, the student teachers do and that was my final grade. I tried contacting the dean but could never get in touch. I tried to make friends but everyone is fake and self centered. Why do students run the school? I never saw or spoke to someone older than 25 years old. Trying to get my transcripts was a joke. Trying to figure out what do to about my grades didn't matter to them. Thanks BYU-I for messing up my GPA!
This school is the best you can find for the money that you pay. It is a decent quality school for a lower price than most community colleges. If you want to whine about its strict policies, and its focus on teaching secular and nonsecular truths, then first consider the price. I pay less than 1500 dollars for a semester. That is unbelievable for what you get.
I'd give BYUI 5 stars except it loses 1 star for no longboarding on campus (not cool) and loses one star for no shorts on campus? Luckily I don't have to go here
Rexburg can be a great place to meet people your own age with similar beliefs, however for schooling it's more of concentration camp. You can expect the following: Forced religion classes Weak grading and education Spiritual Judgment from your fellow "peers" EnForced guidelines on appearance
I haven't had a terrible experience, but I've come to feel that schooling here does nothing for me. The education I have gotten is subpar, except from the teachers that started around the same time I did. The school could do so much more and be more honest about itself rather then putting up a front as a wonderful cheap place. Many schools are cheaper by the credit and offer a fine education. Make sure to come here with the intent to spend as little time here as possible. It will only benefit you if you strive to graduate and move forward as quickly as possible. Best of luck to you in your school and education choice.
I can't say enough positive about my education at BYU-I. While somuch of academia is so totally lost, BYU-Idaho really focuses on preparing students to enter the work force and to be successful.
The price of education is amazing. For a private university it's even more impressive.
The culture of the campus is extremely unique but fun.
I'm mostly grateful for BYU-Idaho and Rexburg winters so that I can feel qualified to us the "walked to school through the snow uphill both ways" line on my children.
Great school at cheap price. I DO HAVE TO SAY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK TO THE RIGHT PERSON, OR GET CLASSES SUT UP CORRECTLY. THE BSC SHOULD NOT BE THE FILTER FOR ALL INCOMING CALLS. There needs to be a better way for students to get the things done that they need to. I love this university but it can be quite frustrating at times...
Awesome experience on many levels. If you are ok with the fact your tuition goes towards faculty salaries and not football scholarships, you should have a good experience too.
I love the Honor Code. The honor code keeps me safe because of curfew. My relationships are better because of it. Also, it helps me have motivation, since I have to dress nice. It gives me motivation since I am wearing nice clothes instead of getting up in my pajamas and going to school. Everyone here is so friendly and there are tons of fun things to do here.
I loved my education at BYU-Idaho. The campus is beautiful and clean. The teachers are smart and kind and fun. I loved the religious viewpoint and focus. I was accepted to BYU-Provo as well as BYU-Idaho and am grateful I chose BYU-Idaho. Everyone is friendly and it is such a happy place to be. Savor your time there!
Do not go here. I ve had problems with my fafsa, and when I go in to address it at the office, the employees don t help at all. My tuition has come in late 2 times in the time I ve been here. The school makes you fill out a bunch of documents that they could get from your fafsa. Teachers here sometimes seem like they don t want to be here and they could care less about your future. Limited to what you can do for internships; basically have to find one without help from the school. The health office also charges too much for a student plan. They also take forever to reimburse you. The activities that the school plans are no fun, they keep changing the departments so students can t graduate on time for classes are being added. Also since I m a person of color, I m not treated the same. Save yourself the time and money and go to a different school.
BYU-Idaho gives financial aid to almost everyone. They already have cheap living and tuition too!
Some of the classes (not religion) are just like really weird Sunday School Classes. But thank goodness there are some fantastic professors and it can change your life.
I've been attending school here for 3 years and I love it! One of the things that has impressed me the most is that the teachers are here because they love to teach, not because they are required to teach so they can have money to fund their research. The quality of the education experience is top notch, and my wife and I have been impressed at how great the activities have been on campus. Every weekend there is something exciting to do on campus.
The school isn t at all on the same page. Academic advising is student run so they really have no idea what s going on except to transfer you to other departments. The parking is really really strict and they make it impossible. Sold my car a months ago and I m still getting fines posted on my account and they won t let me take my car off. Teachers and staff here are generally great! (I mean that) but sometimes you get people who are SO strict and unwilling to work with you that allowances are rarely made for uncontrollable circumstances. Some teachers use the school system, others go off and do their own thing and rarely is your grade what they have posted. All in all it can be a great place to go, but it really depends on who you are and your luck of the draw.
I love this school. After having a really bad accident a few years ago that left me with some disabilities I tried going back to school at ISU (where I had previously been going) who were horrible with helping me with my needs. After giving up on ISU helping me I tried BYU-I. It's a whole different world. The students are so kind, helpful, and friendly, the disabilities office is wonderful, and the teachers are amazing and will always work with my needs. You can always feel the spirit on campus and my religion classes always boost my testimony and feed me spiritually. If I have one word of advice it's actually read about the school and the school standards, and be willing to accept and do them. I hear a lot of people complain about the dress code etc., but it's a private school; private school means they can do and require anything they want, and it's your choice whether or not you want to abide by it. If you don't like them - don't go there.
I have met plenty of people who loved going to BYUI but my husband and I had the complete opposite experience. I am more of a hands on learner and don't do well in group settings. All of the foundation classes you have required group work which is not how I learn. When my husband and I met with an "academic advisor" it was just another student. It took multiple times of requesting a "real adult" who actually knows the classes before we were able to get help with his minor. The campus is beautiful and small, and well maintained. Just not the right school for my learning needs.
One of the most inexpensive colleges out there with absolutely outstanding teachers! That being said, don't even bother if you plan on having your own opinion about anything! It felt like prison.
If you are planning on transferring to another school before you graduate, DO NOT GO TO BYUI. I was planning on getting my associates at BYUI then transferring to another school. Less than HALF of my credits transferred. Any other school would have been just fine. Honestly my time up here just seems like it has been the biggest waste of time and money! BYUI has classes specific to its campus up here and I think it's because there is such a high freshman transfer rate, they want to keep people here. The class sizes are small, and most of the teachers care about you, but I probably wouldn't recommend this school to anyone for any reason besides the great price of tuition.
The atmosphere here invites the spirit and you love being on campus because it's clean, and very inviting for activities and all the women are always modest.
What I love most about this school are the chances to gain experience while still a student: national professional conferences, student teaching, event management, etc. I'm graduating with several years experience in my field.
I love the school and it is a great place. The honor code isn't ridiculous because we signed up for it and it's well worth the price of tuition I pay. They have a great gym and basketball is always a blast, plus they have a chick-fil-a. However every single year there has been something with financial aid come up, you do have to ask for a manager. When I did ask for someone who knew what they were doing they were happy to help and made things easier for me. The CS/CIT department is legit and teaches you great stuff and recruiters are always there. They help out the students and while there are some people that will rub you wrong, you can find the best, brightest, and kindest people on earth. If you want to learn you have to take it into your hands because they teach more concepts. This works well with me because I love side projects. Not perfect, but very well worth your time.
I can attest that this school has eternally changed my life for the better. Such an amazing experience with very intelligent, honest and hard-working faculty. An amazing school! You SHOULD LOVE IT here. Oh and in response to some other reviews, you have free agency to do whatever you want, as in life, there are guidelines in place and consequences for your actions. There is no such thing as controlled agency.
Incredible school. I went to a different university before transferring here and I am so glad I transferred. The environment at BYU-I allows you to achieve excellence. The honor code is a little odd at first, but you get used to it quickly. Most students graduate debt-free, or with minimum debt, and with an incredible education.
If you are planning on attending this college please beware that the credits you earn here are basically useless at any other real university. Seriously, once I transferred out to another university my advisor looked at my transcript and didn't know what to make of it. They say it is required to enroll in mandatory religion classes but if you don't say anything you can just "forget" like I did and not waste your money. I am giving 1 star because the cafeteria had some banging burgers I enjoyed. I am also giving an additional star point because there are plenty of girls who like to make out on a first date. So guys... this is the place for you
Great value. You get a good education for a good price. People are generally friendly. Lost two stars for honor code. Some things are good and necessary but rules like no shorts are a little ridiculous un my opinion.
My personal experience at BYU-I has been exceptional. The Health Psychology program has been highly satisfying and challenging; I have grown a close professor-student relationship with a few of my teachers and I still have a year of my undergraduate program to go-I consider this possibility a great strength at this school. Several of my professors already know my name by the second day of class this semester, making me feel more comfortable in those awkward transitions into new classes. The learning model is applied by many teachers-again, be proactive and look on ratemyprofessor, ask other students in your major, and plan to join classes with the teacher whoa re spoken well about. That is a piece of advice you will hear at any University.
Spiritually, there are many opportunities at this school to find religious inspiration and to better oneself-that being said nobody has ever forced me to go to devotional, but it has often been a great experience when I have attended. Being judged my students based on religious attendance is highly relative. I did not have that experience. I enjoyed being in a ward which acted as a social network for me during school-there were numerous activities and bonding moments for me through church. My bishop tried very hard to understand individual situations and help those people with their struggles, never judging them. The temple is literally right next to my apartment building and even a non-religious person can appreciate the peace on the temple grounds and what that offers to a stressed out student.
My favorite part of this school was that I was able to explore my talents and do things that I REALLY love doing, giving me more of a diverse growth experience here. For example, I participated in swimming nearly every semester, largely improved my vocal training through choir and vocal classes I would take every now and then, and was able to pursue a Health Psychology emphasis where I could explore health science, nutrition, and personal fitness classes. I was able to join Psych Society, French club, and Volunteer Representatives; all organizations on campus that piqued my interest. I was able to enjoy the extensive outdoor activities program where I did hiking, caving, canoeing, ropes course, and countless other activities.
Location-wise, people complain all the time that there is not much to do in Rexburg-this is more a result of absolute laziness than being the truth. There are cool eating joints and shops on Main St. (You just have to ask around for which ones are best), there is a farmers market, there are city-run marathons, parades, and other activities. There are traditions like having bonfires at the Sand Dunes every weekend. There are endless possibilities in the surrounding nature-I visited Yellowstone, Star Valley, Jackson Hole, and several small trails, lakes, ponds, and pretty places-just in the last year alone. The school offers foreign film nights, a huge diversity of theatrical pieces, concerts and performances(like magic shows, even) with renowned guests, often from other countries. Honestly, there is a TON to do, and it is all the better if you're doing it with friends that you love.
I know that this is long-winded, but I could speak for hours about this place. I absolutely believe that you can make of your experience what you want here; Is this not the job a University- to give many opportunities but to leave students to customize their experience? From a research standpoint, the learning model is based upon optimized learning for our modern world, and yes, I do believe it has given me much of the tools I need to go on to the next part of my life. That goes beyond simply the intellectual, but also improved social skills, emotional intelligence, critical thinking skills, personal spiritual growth, and a standard to live by the rest of my life-to serve and love those in my community as the mighty oak that I will hopefully have become.
Financial Aid Department = Horrible. Wait times to speak to someone = Disgusting. Calls, support tickets and respect don't even matter. My daughter will leave with a good education, but also leave with anxiety, stress and depression due to the school not being able to do their jobs. Like process guaranteed money from banks and the federal government for student loans in a decent time. They talk about fixing the situation. My daughter is a junior now and nothing has changed. I would guess it has just gotten worse at this point. They don't even let you talk to the Financial Aid people anymore. That should tell you something right there. Shame on you BYUI for doing NOTHING to fix this and make going to school a positive experience versus wondering whether or not you can register or sign up to live some where due to the inability to process simple loans. If you can pay for your school out of pocket, you'll be fine. If you need loans to go to school, good luck with them. Sorry, but enough is enough.
devotional is not mandatory, the honor code is par for the course for a private university: if you don't want to live it then don't sign to go there. Also, the teachers, are doing you a service by being there. For the most part many could be making much, much, much more money in industry. So learn from them. And be grateful for it.
Super awesome managers. So overly accommodating. If you have any problems they jump right on it and go over and beyond expectations. They are friendly, helpful, and involved. The price is KILLER for what you get. The apartments are beautifully kept, have tons of storage and huge bedrooms. It s the best apartment we ve ever lived in (we ve lived in 7+). The ward is amazing. The environment is amazing and the parks are perfect for kids. Great for families with children. Would recommend 100%.
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.
Bias education that does not prepare you for real world situations. It's like attending disneyland before going to Vietnam. Go to a real school that actually will challenge and teach you.
Awesome school!!! If you work hard, follow the syllabus, and work with your teachers it is totally possible to do awesome here. Great social opportunities, and you can talk to anyone you pass on the sidewalk. Some people in the reviews have been complaining about how BYU-I doesn't prepare you for the real world but I'm not sure what they are talking about. I'm a intern working for a veterinarian in Colorado and I feel I have been totally prepared. I use things I've learned from school everyday whether it be vet stuff or budgeting. BTW BYU-I has an awesome agriculture program, especially animal scienceI And if you don't want to feel judged, don't forget you are attending a religious institution. You agree to live high standards and people will know if you aren't keeping your promise to obey the honor code. But if you make an effort to make friends you will have a great support group, and the teachers are super friendly!
Wonderful affordable university. The campus is beautiful and modern. I transferred from BYU-Provo, and I honestly can say BYU-Idaho is a way better deal. Better gym, better teachers, better facilities, better environment. Those who have been in both BYUs would agree with me.
I will truly say that my first semester here at BYUI was one of the best times of my entire life!!!!! However, after that all of my other semesters went downhill. I had an online teacher who took other students word over my own and gave me a zero on a 100 point assignment, forcing me to drop the class. I looked at the calendar which stated that I could still withdraw without a W and then get a W on my transcript anyways. I dont Know what even happened there but apparently they had two different dates which was completely unprofessional. Then I retake this class the next semester and Canvas shows about half of the students in the class that we have a different/higher grade than we were given on our transcripts. I got an F on my transcript and a B+ on Canvas. When I reported the problem on my online greviance, the staff didn t care that half of this entire class had this issue and acted like it was just plain out okay for us to be told a false grade our entire semester on Canvas with no knowledge of the transcript grade being different. The staff took the teachers side over mine and said you should have known that you had an F. The school claims that they truly care about their students and that helping us in any way is most important to them. One of the biggest lies I ve ever heard in my life. They completely false advertise themselves and only care about money and acting like they re right . Now I will speak for two of my friends. First friend: says she had some personal issues that she was also trying to get resolved with the school and they did not help her. She also claims that the rules at BYUI are more strict than the Church commandments are and that it is unnecessary. Second friend: She was forced to withdrawal from BYUI 1 week before finals because of a mistake that the health center made that put her in the hospital. She had no choice but to go home early. I was completely depressed this entire semester and the school also does not care about students mental health or what is going on in our lives. They just blame us for not doing well in school. My second friend is also still being charged by the on campus apartments even though she literally dropped out of the school and will not be allowed to live there because of that. The environment of the school has become very very unwelcoming after my first semester and I have nobody to talk to. People all over campus are rude and everyone is extremely anti social, only caring about themselves.
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.
BYU-I is exactly what it says it is. The price is incredible for the quality of education, and the professor (at least in the mechanical engineering department) were top notch. If you're bored, it's your own fault as there is tons of activities on and off campus - especially if you're the outdoorsy type. Yea, a couple people can be overbearing - but just follow the honor code and avoid those people.
BYU-Idaho has given me many opportunities and I've developed so much during my time here as an undergraduate student. It has many qualified instructors that are extremely invested in getting to know the needs of their students on a one-on-one basis. Class lectures are fulfilling and the university provides many studying aids including studying labs for chemistry, mechanical engineering, Chinese etc. The tuition at BYU-Idaho is VERY inexpensive.
This university is by far the least expensive option for a 4-year institution. Even BYU is 50% more expensive than BYU-I. There is a great atmosphere here and the teachers truly want their students to succeed.
