This would be more about university to career and/or expanded university...

The church has plenty of it. I can’t think of a more wise investment

Nope, need more over-the-top, luxurious, incredibly expensive temples built in

Ouch! The effort by the Church to make temple ordinances available to all

Do you ever have good opinions?

The church spends more on BYU than on temple construction.

And this is why the church doesn’t publicize its finances

Or maybe it's because people would see how much wealth the Church sits on....

I can think of about 1000 wiser investments than what that would take.

Might be a bad idea for new married couples

Here's a novel idea, get married after college when you can actually afford it

Kerbouchard

2/3/19 7:45am

Do you really think that's going to change?

mwcoug

2/3/19 7:47am

Of course not that would require logical, independent thinking

Umm, your comment is the prevailing argument across society

Lots of bad opinions coming in hot. My wife and I could easily afford marriage when we got married in college

We got married, had a son, paid for college and no debt. Things were tight, but

Why can’t young people afford marriage? If they live under their means. My wife

What is there to afford that you don't need as a single?

One spouse probably has 2 telelearning classes...

I actually think your idea is an interesting one that should be studied, but

I went to Japan with my wife for am internship.

I actually think this is a fabulous idea. Well done.

I think it's a great idea, if money and other resources were unlimited

Schultz is back

2/3/19 7:51am

Would those relationships be easier on a three year basis (or longer)

Xenon

2/3/19 8:08am

The long-term relationships are with the professors

If money grew on trees . . . The church already spends a ton on BYU. This kind

gwalker

As a faculty member... I'd love it! The church won't do this for $$reasons

Interesting idea, better than the other "increase enrollment" posts.

I love it, but didn't the pathways program put an end to expansion discussions?
