lizzy12 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'm currently applying to BYU-I. Once I get accepted what advice can you give me? Teachers to avoid? Classes to take? Social advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I would avoid all the teachers I had when I went there. Of course that was 36 years ago, so I think quite a few are no longer living. So therefore I would avoid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarnished Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I loved it there when I attended, but that was 10 years ago. It really depends on what your major is, I can tell you what teachers I loved when I was there, but I was an English major and if that is not your major then it probably would not help. What are your interests and what sort of classes are you looking at taking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Plan on bringing warm clothes for the winter. The winters can be a bit brutal there. Especially walking to and from campus to classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizzy12 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 the fact shorts aren't allowed on campus will keep me from looking like a pansy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarnished Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Only if you're a pansy. The locals wear shorts year-round.Actually they don't. I grew up in Chicago-land area and my first year I was the only one out of all my roommates that did not get wind burn, because my skin was used to high winds and cold weather from living near the "Windy City". I still bundled up, I wore warm coats and scarves and hats and goretex boots. But then I like staying warm during the winter, cold hurts me, and I don't like pain.If he is still around take a class from Brother Samuelson. If he is still teaching a course on writing research papers take it. When I was there I loved his classes and his course on writing research papers completely changed the way I looked at writing them as well as my approach to them. Excellent teacher!

john doe Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 the fact shorts aren't allowed on campus will keep me from looking like a pansy When I was there they didn't have the 'shorts police'. I wear shorts at BYU-Provo and they never stop me or hassle me about them. If fact, I don't even get dirty looks for wearing them. Maybe it's because I'm so good-looking that they don't have the nerve to try to reprimand me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarnished Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 You can't wear shorts or even capris at BYU-I, they have a stricter dress code than BYU-Provo. They did when I went there 10 years ago and they still had it when my sister was out there just 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'm a pansy only during the winters in Rexburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmoroniRM Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) For religion, try and get Brother John C. Thomas. Amazing teacher. I had him for BoM 1 Nephi-Alma 30. Here's a devotional he gave one day:Don't Be in a HurryFor History, brother Lenhart will be a great professor. He goes off on a lot of tangents, but you learn a ton of interesting things from that wonderful half-german half-austrian man.And if you get an english class with professor Josh Allen, give him heck for me. He was my YM president when we lived in VA. Never took his class, but he is a great guy. Edited October 24, 2010 by captmoroniRM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I had a lot of good professors who helped me really understand the "why" we were asked to live by so many unexplained and apparently harmless rules like shorts or flip-flops.

Tarnished Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I didn't have any problem with it either, but the discussion did bring up shorts and how you can wear them around BYU-Provo, and that just isn't the case at BYU-I. I actually still don't wear shorts much because I am so used to wearing just pants from my days at BYU-I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzy12 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 and why is BYU-I more strict then BYU ? Thanks for the advice captRM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarnished Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I don't know for sure, but I always had a sneaking suspicion that BYU-I was more strict than BYU-Provo because BYU-I is more heavenly. Just a guess there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
