State schools. Big difference. Now if I heard there was a Notre Dame -Indianapolis, I'd

assume that it must carry the same weight to attach the name "Notre Dame," . Or a Princeton- Newark, same deal. Why would a private institution that prides itself on academics water down the name? If it didn't carry the same level of prestige. But, that's just me talking.

So, if they attend BYUI as an online student while living in Provo...

What school did you go to? BYU? No. BYU-I.

Never set foot on campus at byu-i, it would be lying to say I "went" there

No but you attended BYU-I, not BYU.

If you did BYU-I online, that's about three steps below U of Phoenix, right?

You're right they should list BYU PROVO or BYU I so we know the difference

There is not a BYU Provo, it is BYU, BYU Idaho, BYU Hawaii. That’s it

Where is BYU?! It’s in Provo. BYU-Provo

It’s of course in Provo, but it’s name isn’t BYU Provo

Whoa! Get ready for an angry, blood-thirsty mob.

LOL, sure thing, chief. Except that BYU is a top-75, BYU-I has no national rank.

I agree, it really only matters for new grads with no experience.

Of course not, but they’ve always gone by separate names like that. BYU and BYU-I are way too close.BYU-I should’nt have
