this isn't about my kid...it's a friend asking me advice

To be honest I told him UVU is a giant BYU-wanna-be diploma factory for kids who want to live in Provo but can't get into BYU. And I told him that BYU-I treats college students like junior high youth conference attendees. We didn't discuss UU probably because he knows I hate UU.

Sorry if I offended any BYU-I or UVU folks. Just my opinions.

Remind those of us who don't know: how is having hot chicks a bad thing?

John Doe

10/6/15 8:38am

Depends on his mission plans

Maybe it's not a 'hot chick' problem, but rather a 'low morals' problem.

John Doe

10/6/15 8:54am

Call it what you will.

LaserCoug

10/6/15 8:57am

I'm of the opinion that you can have hot chicks with high morals.

John Doe

ok

ASU is a great school. Kid can leave town for summer if he wants.

A kid who missed in BYU would probably prefer USU. It's a fun residential campus
