anyone know about BYU..??
Asked by PinKyI am a christian but not a mormon. currently attending college in california and i have no(0%) idea about utah (never been there) and byu's school life. i dont drink,smoke,drug or sexual relations so it sounds very similar to my life style but i really wonder how it differs from other universities. all i used to hear was really typical things like no caffeine or something...(wonder if it is true also) So anyone who attended there or knows really well, please let me know. Especially I am majoring in marketing,so I was planning to go to city university of new york,but it requires me much more financial things...so please i need an expert's advie! [here are arranged questions] 1.how BYU differs from other universities.. 2.life in utah and in byu. 3.better choice for marketing major between BYU and CUNY

I first attended George Mason University in VA, but transferred to BYU after serving a mission. 1. There are many similarities and differences between BYU and other Universities. I will list a few of the unique differences for you: -Very little partying, but lots of good clean fun. -Lots of young married couples with kids, some who even bring their children to class. -Very large percent of US students who speak other languages and have international experience. -Religious devotionals available on a regular basis. -You have to take a couple of credits of religion. Don't worry, they have general classes for any christian, like New Testament. 2. Life in UT is pretty nice. Since you live a moral life style you will not be upset by the lack of partying, bars, and night life. There are many outdoors activities available like skiing, water sports, hiking, etc. Housing, while high for UT, is still not bad compared to many parts of the states. Cost of living is not too bad either. The people are generally nice. I found it really great to have 30,000+ other young students trying, for the most part, to live good christian lives. Because there is no "partying," students have lots of creative, inexpensive, and clean ways to have fun. 3. I was not a business major, but BYU has an excellent reputation. It is often ranked #1 for best affordable private college in US news and World report. Each profession is different, but most employers don't care where you went to school but rather that you have the degree. You will get a good education at BYU and not have to pay student loans the rest of your life. I got married at BYU, had our first child and both my wife and I graduated debt free. I hope this helps. Please contact me if you have any specific questions. I would be more than happy to help. Good luck!
