No, they do care

A partner at my first law firm had the same experience with a resume as Chago and had the same reaction. If it’s a job where people care at all where you went to school (i.e., depending on the field, a good job), they’ll know that there’s a difference.

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?

Wife earned associates at Ricks, bachelors at BYU. She feels similar.

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

Cabadapeste

4/20/18 2:41pm

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

Romex

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

covfefe

4/20/18 2:46pm

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

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

4/20/18 2:47pm

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.

People don't think UC-Irvine is the same as Cal, do they?

chago04

4/20/18 2:56pm

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

Outside of the Mountain West it doesn't really matter anyhow. I put BYU-I on..
