this school is so VERY stupendous. The campus is easy to navigate and well maintained. The teachers are kind and student focused. It is the best place to be in your education journey with lots to do outside and inside the campus events are fun and inviting. Lots of memories to be had in good ol' rexburg Idaho. :0 definitely apply!

I've loved going to school at BYUI. I love the town of Rexburg and the campus. There are some frustrating classes and teachers just like at every other college, but it's a great environment as long as you're happy with having the culture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints infused within the school, activities, and student culture.

The teachers here love and personally sacrifice so much for the students! I can tell that it is student and not business-focused.

Aside from the honor code rules you have to keep, which are standard if you are applying to a CES school, this is an awesome school as they go above and beyond so that the learners have an awesome university experience. The educators also make an effort to know your name and this has been almost every instructor I have taken a class with.

Top notch school! Some of the happiest times of my life. If one thing could improve, I'd say that BYUI should give older singles the same freedom that married students get. Treat responsible adults like adults. I've since gone to 3 other universities and BYU-I was my favorite! Professors at BYUI were by far the best of any university.

The School has some nice things, but in general, it is about 10 years behind in everything and the School's administration is not impressive.

My education has been good here based on the amazing faculty I've had in my department. In other departments like biology and religion, teachers are judgier and just teach from the book. The opportunities for career-based jobs and internships are VERY limited.
