I’ll start off by saying I have never attended any BYU school, but I’ve been LDS my whole life, so I know a little bit about it. (And I’ll probably be at Provo next year)

BYU-H is mostly for LDS students who are living in Asia or Pacific Islands. And you’ll probably want Provo over Idaho. With your solid junior and senior year GPA I wouldn’t worry about the work at BYU, but getting in might be a little tricky, give it your best though, Idaho should be a sure thing, but Provo would be a bit of a stretch.

To find a bishop/ward go to lds.org Hover over the “About the church” and an option “Find a meetinghouse” will appear. Type in your address. You can also use the “Stake and ward websites” link near the bottom right of the front page.

If you’re of no religious affiliation you have to realize a lot of the culture is based on LDS life. If you find the standards to be a good atmosphere that’s a great start. You should probably consider visiting if you get the time.

I would think you’d be able to transfer after a year with good grades, but it’d be nice if someone else who knew what they were talking about could answer. If nothing else you should get into Idaho and could transfer to Provo if you so desire.
