My son went to BYU-I because he wasn't originally accepted at BYU, got his AA at

BYU-I and transferred to BYU because of the animation program. Found out it would take him 4 more years to graduate because of program requirements and with finances tight, decided to transfer back to BYU-I after a year because it was cheaper and he could graduate quicker.

And...to my sadness...he is not a sports fan. So while he enjoys the periodic football/basketball game, it was not important to him and he didn't attend many games while in Provo.

I've heard of people going up there for cultural reasons. Apparently people are less uptight about academics, etc...
