I don't care one bit if USU-O or any other school hates BYU

It definitely is mostly about the church/honor code

My nephew said his USU institute teacher didn't want to go to BYU because he

Some of the USU Institute teachers are very anti-BYU.

Ugh. The honor code removes the same amount of agency as a temple recommend

Well, except for the no beard type stuff. But still.

The content of the rules is not the point.

Well if you want to work in the temple you have to be clean shaven

No longer a ‘policy’. (Not sure it ever officially was one)

I was told to go home once because I hadn't shaved when I was a veil worker.

It's still a policy for all Church employees.

Also not true. I grew my full beard while serving in a bishopric.

I’m serving in the bishopric right now. Full beard...

That "rule" might be a local one, based on preferences of the leaders.

I think you’re correct. I’m hoping your story is from a long time ago. 😒

Forced to pay tithing though.

Wrong. No one is ever “forced” to pay tithing.

I personally know a person who lost his CES job for not paying tithing.

Yeah, that was my thought.

That’s probably why he chose not to be baptized or make temple covenants either. Cuz agency means not committing to

Agree. We've had a couple of kids from our ward go to USU in the last couple...

This has been my issue about sending kids to Usu or Utah to get this polish you

USU's is mostly born of a deep and abiding inferiority complex
cougarmanguy

With USU, it’s less church hate and more “rejected by BYU” hate

The scholarship thing is my key point.

“Some” USU kids can’t get into BYU. “Some” can, but without a scholarship.

Concurrent enrollment/AP and scholarships are better at USU than BYU

Still worth it to pony up a go to BYU if you can

Depends on your goals. It is in many cases

For USU it isn't anti-LDS bias. It's 3 decades of watching BYU have all the limelight meanwhile the Aggies sunk into

It's both, either, or neither depending on the person. Both of those things play a role.

Not for the vast majority of Aggies. They're mostly Mormons themselves.

If by Mormon you mean the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...then yes

It’s not anti-LDS. It’s anti-BYU. Even people who are LDS hate BYU.

What are you talking about. You realize this is a BYU message board.
Adrielle

Has nothing to do with being LDS. It's about elitism.
