<p>does anyone know anything about Brigham Young University-Utah?
even thoguh the rank is quite low (about 70 national), the busines rank is always top-10...so i'm wondering if it's competitive or not. also, if it's such a good business school, why is its national rank so low? and is Utah really THAT boring like what everyone says? lol</p>
<p>most importantly, i wanan know about its business program(undergrad) and its recruitment after graduating..thankssss</p>
<p>...Are you Mormon?</p>
<p>My accounting professor credited BYU and MIT's high rankings to the mature and dedicated (and incredibly bright) students that enter their programs.</p>
<p>However, BYU is overwhelmingly Mormon, a sect known for their inclusivity. That might not be the atmosphere you're looking for.
Good news is that a BYU degree will get a good job. Mormons have made a strong name for themselves are own or are execs at fortune 500 companies.</p>
<p>Don't go to BYU unless you are Mormon. If not, I foresee four very awkward years in your future..</p>
<p>My mother taught me not to say anything if you cant say something nice. That includes my "opinion of BYU."</p>
<p>ferryboat10: Was your accounting professor a mormon?</p>
<p>No, she is the opposite of a Mormon: Catholic.</p>
<p>Yet she was admired with BYU students' maturity and work ethic.</p>
<p>^ Indeed, I'm sure that BYU students are very dedicated to their education. However, if the OP is not Mormon, the campus atmosphere would probably be... not pleasant.</p>
<p>If you are not Mormon, the pressure to convert to Mormonism will be ENORMOUS. UNRELENTING AND ENORMOUS.</p>
<p>I agree, If you are Morman it is top notch.</p>
<p>But if not...stay away.
I am Catholic, and while you may not like the religion we don't throw it down peoples throats anymore like Mormans and Jehovahs do.</p>
<p>ferryboat10: Well there isn't much else to do besides work and pray</p>
<p>Titan,
But one wife is hard enough to deal with, Mormons have to deal with a dozen!</p>
<p>I think it mainly it has to do with the service requirements that offer a reality check to teenagers/students and the overwhelming pressure in Mormon theology towards self-reliance. To slack off or make excuses is essentially unheard of.</p>
<p>woahhh. are mormons tht scary?
what's the environment like in byu? cz what reli attracts me is the low price and its well-known busines programs..</p>
<p>The environment is Mormon. Seriously, BYU is basically defined by its Mormonism. Read up a bit on the Mormon religion and you'll get a feel for life at BYU. ;)</p>
<p>why do so many people from BYU with average stats get into good dental school. makes me so mad.</p>

<p>...for example?
cz, well im not mormon and i'm quite open to other religions. but i just don't know about this religion..and the rules and stuff :S</p>
<p>I've heard it's pretty cheap because it is partly funded by the Mormon church.</p>
<p>You can't just "convert" to Mormonism like other religions, it is a very strict sect. Someone who is Mormon would be the best source. But basically my mormon friends aren't allowed to: drink caffeine, watch R rated movies, drink any alcohol or do any drugs, have sex outside of marriage, use any offensive language, etc.....</p>
<p>I'm sure the BYU campus follows very similar rules.</p>
<p>Also Mormons aren't allowed to do anything on Sundays because that's the holy day.</p>
<p>unless youre mormon DONT GO TO BYU. TRUST ME.</p>
