with different beliefs. They have a lot of experience being a minority among opinions and behavior they don't necessarily agree with.

However, that's tolerance toward people with differing opinions/beliefs outside of the BYU community. They would have less tolerance toward others with different behavior/beliefs within BYU because there's a different expectation.
