<p>Yeah, BYU is the most awesome college ever!!! That’s all I’ve got to say.</p>
<p>xcept that its in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing to do there.</p>
<p>Okay, I'll give you that. It is in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn't say there is nothing to do though. You can go skiing, hiking, river rafting, and lots of different things. It's just finding the time and money to do all of them. . .</p>
<p>I'm curious,does BYU accept international,unreligious students?</p>
<p>Yes it does, but you have to promise to live by their Honor Code (no drinking, no risque clothing, etc.)</p>
<p>What else would I be required to do?</p>
<p>What else would you be required to do at BYU? Or in order to apply? </p>
<p><a href="http://saas.byu.edu/depts/admissions/international.aspx%5B/url%5D">http://saas.byu.edu/depts/admissions/international.aspx</a>
that is a link to the website about admissions for international students</p>
<p><a href="http://honorcode.byu.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://honorcode.byu.edu/</a>
that website is devoted to the honor code and all the standards you must live by to attend BYU. It's basically the same college stuff (no cheating) with a few bonuses. :)</p>
<p>I hope that helps. Sorry I dont know how to do links on this website.</p>
<p>Oh and "Those individuals who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are also expected to maintain the same standards of conduct, except church attendance."</p>
<p>Yeah, etoilestars is right. I'm actually surprised by how many international students are here. We have quite a few from the Phillipines, and we have several from South America, different parts of Europe, and China. I'm sure there are lots of others too. As long as you follow the Honor Code, then you can be accepted.</p>
<p>don't forget they charge you more for tuition if you aren't a member of the church.</p>
<p>Yes, that's true. LDS students only pay about $3600 per year, while non-LDS pay about $7000 per year. However, $7000 per year is still MUCH, MUCH cheaper than it costs to go to most U.S. universities.</p>
<p>how do they verify if you're LDS? Do people who aren't LDS report that they are just so they can pay less?
Also, does BYU offer finaid to intels?</p>
<p>What are intels?</p>
<p>The church sends your membership records to the school. Plus if you are LDS you'd have to have an interview with your bishop. There are lots of ways to verify that.</p>
<p>How pitiful it is that I did not apply to BYU! If I have to take a gap year,BYU would be my first choice next year. :D</p>
<p>I'm just glad people are actually posting on this board.</p>
<p>Tell me about it</p>
<p>Is it also harder to get in if you're a non-church member? And is it legal to charge more for tuition to nonmembers?</p>
<p>How about BYU-Idaho and BYU-Hawaii? I have a lot of friends who are LDS who dream of going to Hawaii and look at Idaho with disgust. I take it Idaho is the least competetive of the three, and Hawaii is most selective?</p>
<p>I'm not sure if it is harder to get into BYU if you aren't a church member, but it might be. I know people here who aren't church members, though, so it's definitely possible to get in (as long as you get some sort of ecclesiastical endorsement from some sort of religious leader). </p>
<p>As for the reputations of the other two schools, BYU Idaho is definitely the least competitive of the three. It used to be Ricks College, which was only a two year college. It only turned into the four-year BYU Idaho a few years ago. It's not a bad place to go, but it is definitely not at the same standard as the main BYU in Provo. BYU-Hawaii is more competetive to get into, but not because of its academics. BYU-Hawaii is a completely different type of school, and it is focused more upon foreign students. Very few U.S. students go. It is very, very small and doesn't offer very many programs. Also, if you get a scholarship from BYU (which quite a few people do, actually), you cannot use it in Hawaii. So, Hawaii, although competetive, is certainly not the same caliber of school as BYU Utah. Basically, the Provo campus is where you want to go (unless you are from the Phillipines or something, in which case you MIGHT consider Hawaii, though most still go Provo). Idaho is still trying to develop a better reputation and stuff.</p>
<p>I got into BYU Utah, but I'm really factoring the weather there. Can anyone tell me what it is like there for the Fall/Winter Seasons?</p>
<p>Um it's cold in the winter. Chilly in the fall? I don't know how specific you want to be.</p>
<p>What are your other options?</p>
<p>Having come from the midwest, I can tell you that it is actually warmer here in Provo during the winter than it is out in Indiana. If you are really used to 100 degree weather though, then it may seem pretty cold to you. The coldest it got this winter was in the upper twenty degrees. Most of the time it was in the thirties though. Right now, since spring has come, we've been in the fifties and even some sixties, so it's been pretty nice.</p>
