The best and brightest of them all. They are good honorable and friendly people who want to do what is right and to set up a bright future for themselves and their families.

Jessica

Students are mostly members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day Saints (LDS/Mormon). Most students wear modest clothing and dressed professionally. Students come from all sorts of financial backgrounds as tuition is affordable and subsidized by the Church.

Austin

We are all headed on the same path of aquiring knowledge, some of us are very determined to get there quickly.

Nicole

Though over 90 percent of them were Mormon, you would not find a more diverse and interesting group of people anywhere else.

Katelyn

My classmates are all very supportive of one another and very genuine, well rounded people. I have never had someone be flat out rude to me in class or on campus. Mot of them are very driven and a little healthy competition helps everyone to do their very best. Everyone is very social and accepting of others, even when they do not share the same Mormon values (contrary to popular belief Mormons are very accepting of other religions).

Abigail

The students here are eager to learn, and eager to make friends.

BYU's student body is primarily made up of nice people who are: sexually frustrated, intellectually vapid, religious zealots who are not ready for academia or real life because their focus is limited to fulfilling Mormon cultural goals, such as marriage and promoting the religion.

Jessica

NIce, helpful

Miranda

As a student at BYU, I have noticed that my peers love deeply, are passionate about life and know better than anyone else how to do crazy, stupid and incredibly fun things without the influence of anything other than energy and chocolate milk.

Joshua

My classmates are so friendly! If you are willing to talk and get to know them, then they will take the time to talk and get to know you. If you don't want to talk, they can usually tell and don't typically bother you. If you do, they are drawn to you and you can really make some good friends in the classroom. Which helps for study groups while preparing for exams!
