Very uplifting atmosphere. Resources available to students are immense, don?t believe what this website says. Opportunities available beyond graduation are plentiful. I?ve thoroughly enjoyed my years here at BYUI

BYU-Idaho is the single greatest school on the planet earth. I've attended multiple Universities and can firmly say that there is no school better. The social life, value for your money, academics, and atmosphere are all 5 stars. I graduated as a Mechanical engineer and upon graduation am making $70,000 in Idaho (So think of how much that would be in like California for example). I passed federal administered professional exams and certifications all for free (covered by the school). Ive always been a slow learner, but was able to achieve a 3.23 gpa, while working part time all 4 years. Don't expect drinking or drugs, because there is none. (plus, no one would want you there if you did)

Extremely affordable, extremely safe. Lots of rules for the honor code but they never bothered me. Teachers know you by name and the school does all it can to help you graduate while still providing difficult classes. Free tutoring was awesome too!
