<p>Let’s consider the typical international applicant (us). Unless we are super rich (but then we wouldn’t be applying to safeties would we!) the most we might be able to scrape together might be 15,000 USD a year. Keeping that in mind, could you guys come up with some great safety schools.
I am looking towards Coe College and BYU ( paying about 8,000 USD ). I also learnt that one has a great chance at Villanova University if one were willing to pay about 15 grand. do you guys know of any other similar ‘deals’?? I reckon it might help people looking for good safety schools.</p>
<p>Just to make sure: you know what your life at BYU will be like, don’t you? (A few examples: no coffee, no alcohol, no form-fitting clothes, no extra-marital relationships etc.)</p>
<p>Eh…no coffee? :S</p>
<p>BYU does not even allow tea!!! I wouldn’t make it a week through college without caffeine…</p>
<p>Anybody should be familiar with BYU’s rules before applying:
[Honor</a> Code - Honor Code Statement](<a href=“http://honorcode.byu.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3585&Itemid=4643]Honor”>http://honorcode.byu.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3585&Itemid=4643)</p>
<p>What a bummer! I thought those were just ‘paper’ rules. Seriously, does BYU really expect its students to follow them?? I mean, I might have got my facts wrong but isn’t BYU located somewhere in the democractic US of A?? :)</p>
<p>You are right that at most colleges rules like “no alcohol on campus” are just paper rules, but BYU and most of its students and employees are highly religious and dead serious about them. BYU is funded by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints which 98% of its student body are members of. That is why tuition is so low btw.</p>
<p>CollegeproIwer’s take on campus strictness:

<p>BYU even blocks access to YouTube:

<p>Sorry for spamming your thread :)</p>
<p>EXTRAMARITIAL RELATIONSHIP?? Are students expected to marry to date someone??? THIS IS HILARIOUS HAHA</p>
<p>It’s based on Mormonism, and all of the strict ideals that come with it. No, Mormonism does not translate to multiple wives.</p>
<p>hahahaha hilarious</p>
<p>Look at the University of New Orleans there are great scholarships there if you fit the criteria. Basically a 3.5 and 1210 sat will allow you to go free. Deadline for scholarships is January 15th though.</p>
<p>Oh ****, my SAT is 1200</p>
<p>contact the admission office and see what they think. You might be able to take january sat (standby), but scholarships are awarded first come, first serve.</p>
<p>This U of New Orleans seems to be getting really popular :)</p>
<p>holy ****, just read the BYU honor code. they don’t even allow sideburns LOL</p>
<p>Haha I think it only got popular because I am constantly promoting it. It’s a great opportunity to go free or go cheaper than other institutions. What I really don’t like about it is that it is mostly a commuter campus, meaning that campus life probably won’t be too active. I believe the dorms can accommodate about 1,000 people so at least that would be the equivalent of a very small college.</p>
<p>Dude I would rather stay in some ****ty college in my country than go to some place like that, and not just because of those rules. It seems like they don’t really have any other activities besides religious stuff (correct me if I’m wrong, I didn’t really read up a lot on this but that’s the feeling I got)</p>
<p>S33D, BYU is Jesuit run and like most Jesuit run colleges it’s pretty strict. However look at the upside, its the best place for you if you are a teetotaler or hate greek life. By the way thanks danhernan, UNO seems like a great safety.</p>
<p>rearset Brigham Young University is NOT a Jesuit school. Brigham Young University is affiliated with the Mormons. </p>
<p>According to Wikipedia
“Brigham Young (June 1, 1801 – August 29, 1877) was a leader in the Latter Day Saint movement and was the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1847 until his death. Young was also the first governor of the Utah Territory, United States.”</p>
<p>Well the three Jesuit schools I a bit familiar with tend not to be strict. There is one (UCA) near my house, Georgetown, and Loyola New Orleans. Georgetown has crucifixes in their classes and does not allow abortions in its hospital, but apart from that it isn’t STRICT.</p>
<p>Oops! My mistake</p>
