Okay, I'll give you that. It is in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn't say there is nothing to do though. You can go skiing, hiking, river rafting, and lots of different things. It's just finding the time and money to do all of them. . .

Yes it does, but you have to promise to live by their Honor Code (no drinking, no risque clothing, etc.)

What else would you be required to do at BYU? Or in order to apply?

http://saas.byu.edu/depts/admissions/international.aspx
that is a link to the website about admissions for international students

http://honorcode.byu.edu/
that website is devoted to the honor code and all the standards you must live by to attend BYU. It's basically the same college stuff (no cheating) with a few bonuses.

I hope that helps. Sorry I dont know how to do links on this website.

Oh and "Those individuals who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are also expected to maintain the same standards of conduct, except church attendance."

Yeah, etoilestars is right. I'm actually surprised by how many international students are here. We have quite a few from the Phillipines, and we have several from South America, different parts of Europe, and China. I'm sure there are lots of others too. As long as you follow the Honor Code, then you can be accepted.

don't forget they charge you more for tuition if you aren't a member of the church.

Yes, that's true. LDS students only pay about $3600 per year, while non-LDS pay about $7000 per year. However, $7000 per year is still MUCH, MUCH cheaper than it costs to go to most U.S. universities.

how do they verify if you're LDS? Do people who aren't LDS report that they are just so they can pay less?
Also, does BYU offer finaid to intels?

What are intels?

The church sends your membership records to the school. Plus if you are LDS you'd have to have an interview with your bishop. There are lots of ways to verify that.

How pitiful it is that I did not apply to BYU! If I have to take a gap year,BYU would be my first choice next year.
