Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Kelsi

Nothing, I think I was well prepared.

Bethany

I wish I would have known that it was going to be so cold. The weather is the toughest thing to overcome. I also wish I would have known what the people are like out here, its rough dealing with the close-mindedness of some of the students and teachers here.

Kal

I wish that I would have known how to drive in the snow. The winters up here are really cold, and there is a lot of snow. You need to know how to drive on ice. I also wish that I would have known that it is hard to get an off campus job, and they dont pay well. I should have saved more money.
