Well our CS department is chaired by BYU alum and another faculty member hails from the Y so.... LOL it's actually a decent department. Sure, in terms of quality of programs university wide, size and $$$, Boise State is not even close to BYU but that doesn't make it a "bad school." It fills a void for lots of students and good students turn any education into a life of learning and hopefully success.

Back to our CS department, we're sooooo close to getting a local HS student to stay here instead of BYU. So in terms of perception, there must be pros to both schools.
