For small classes, and more one-on-one time with your professors. It is a religious campus that allows you to ask questions about what you don't understand. You also don't have to be a member of any religion to attend.

I would say that BYU-Idaho is best known for being an LDS, or Mormon, school. If you are LDS, it is encouraging to have the support of so many fellow students, as well as professors, who hold the same values and belief system as you. It strengthens your resolve to improve, spiritually and in other ways.

Sydney

To be honest?? Being a Mormon school. BYU-Idaho is a church school, but that doesn't take away from what we do here. We're here to learn and gain a education. So in other words we could also be known for having excellent students that get their work done.

BYU-I is infamously known as BYU-I Do. A lot of engagements and marriages happen here. But we are also known for our outstanding academics and performing arts programs.

Being a LDS university

The teachers here really care for the students. Every one that I have had has gone out of their way to make sure that I understood what was being taught, and if I didn't, they all offered to have a one-on-one study session with me outside of class.

Matthew

Formerly Ricks college, BYU-Idaho is know as a school where students come in to learn and leave stronger, and clearer understanding of thier purpose and goals in life. At least that is the closest way I can say it.

Edgar

BYU-Idaho is known for being a school that is pretty student centered allowing them to become involved in various aspects throughout campus, whether it is being involved in student government or working in campus. Around campus and in the community of Rexburg, "The Spirit of Ricks" allows for a learning environment found nowhere else.

The Spirit of Ricks, the Honor Code, and the Learning Model. Students learn in a great environment with high standards by great professors, preparing outside of class, and teaching each other.

Ashley

BYU-Idaho is a religious school and they try their hardest to help all the students grow spiritually while helping them furthering their education and grow mentally.

Sarah

Getting people married

Ryan

For the hard work and integrity of the students. Our school has a history of having great employers recruiting here, because of this.

Ally

My school is best known for being a church school and for not being a party school. We accept non-members of course and it's great to be at a school where you know a party isn't going to involve drugs and alcohol.

Sharon

Probably the religion: LDS. Because it is a private Church-operated school. The other thing it is best known for may be the marriage thing: it is jokingly referred to among members (LDS church members) as BYU-I-do. Also, it seems to me to be a very academcally capable institution and so I definitely wouldn't disclude a poitive academic reputation.

Stephanie

Brigham Young University is well known for being one of the least partying schools in the US. Although that may not appeal to many, for those who want to gain an education in a calm and safe enviornment, it is the perfect school. Also everyone refers to BYU as the "mormon school" because it is a church based school but anyone of any religion can attend.

Marlaina

Our school is best known for being the school without inter-scholastic sports. When our school transitioned from a 2-year community college into a 4-year university, the inter-scholastic sports program fell by the wayside. It is something that most people outside our school know about and most people inside our school complain about.

Naomi

Lots of people know my school as the "Mormon" school, so I guess that's what's the school is best known for, where Latter-day Saint students attend to gain the same knowledge as other students at different schools, we just have stricter rules that help us keep up our standards.

Denise

Probably for being a religious school. BYU-Idaho is sort of a side school of BYU main campus so BYU in Utah has all the sports teams and everything but we are known more for the standards this school has of its students.

Laura

It is best known for it's uplifting atmosphere. All the students and professors work together to create a friendly, educational environment.

Stephanie

Its excellent religous program, and well known education program.

Talia

My school is best known for the students that attend. The majority of the students are LDS and there is a dress code that holds us to a higher standard than many other schools. We also have a unique semester plan. There are three tracks, Fall-Wihter, Winter-Spring, and Spring-Fall. This three track system allows more students to attend full-time throughout the year. There is also no competitive sporting events, just intramural sports, which keeps the focus on education, not winning the next game.

Jenna

My school is best known for being the other BYU or Rick's College. But, I think that preception is changing about us, I think people know that is getting more competitive here, its not just an easy college to get into and some really great people come out of BYU-Idaho

Lavell

Brigham Young University Idaho is best knows for it's very strict, but high religious and moral standing in the world, including following the honor code, a set of rules that each student must conform to, in accordane to the standards of The Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That being said, this school is famous for the amount of student marriages that happen here, due to the high moral standard, and common ground between the students.

Alexandra

I think that my school is best known for its high standards. These standards come from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who owns the university. Because of these high standards, each student is accountable for his or her own actions. The honor code is fairly strict, but provides the students an environment in which they can learn without distractions.
