Editorial Review for Brigham Young University – by Amy Hodson
Just the Facts
Brigham Young University was founded in Provo in 1875. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sponsors this private school attended by approximately 30,000 students. BYU offers bachelor's degrees in 217 academic programs, master's degrees in 75 and doctorates in 29. Students of other faiths are allowed to attend BYU, but the school is clear about its spiritual mission.
Cerebral Pursuits
The school has an obvious religious concentration, but is highly regarded for its academic programs. The J. Reuben Clark Law School and the Marriott School of Business are particularly distinguished, with the accounting program ranked sixth in the nation by U.S. News and World Report.

Sure it's Mormonville, but if you're looking for some clean fun, cool people, and cute girls, "this is the right place". True, there are some weirdos who might make convey a holier-than-thou attitude, but the people I've met for the most part come from all sorts of backgrounds, possess a variety of personalities, and are probably the friendliest around.
