I completely wrote off BYU-I before going on my mission. While in the field I

had a change of heart and ended up applying before coming home. I had always envisioned myself transferring into BYU from another school like Rudy into Notre Dame. I never did transfer. The school was great and I met my wife there. I got straight As and could have transferred into BYU, but didn't. I got into a good grad school. It all worked out in the end.

Rexburg itself isn't exactly hopping with things to do.

Your daughter is a first-semester freshman. There's plenty of time for that.

Excellent school. But professors are forced to bend over backwards to students

BYU-Idaho is a very hard sell to many potential professors.

Wow. Not my experience at Ricks. I was very unimpressed with most teachers.

i bet some of these same teachers would turn you in for not wearing socks, etc.

BYU-I's codified restrictions are noticeably more severe than BYU's.

As one who taught at 2 universities, BYU-I is not alone in caring for students.
