They say the students at BYU are every bit as sharp, but expect to be coddled (nurtured? accommodated?) more than at other schools, so I somewhat agree that BYU could and should expect more from their students than they do.

And better-travelled doesn't surprise (nor does it impress) me, there's likely a big difference in income demographics between families who send their kids to BYU vs those who send kids to Ivy league schools.
