Brigham Young University Reviews

"The J. Reuben Clark Law School is competitive and fairly affordable in comparison to other law schools. There is not much diversity in the school and its a small community."

"This grad program is under a prestigious private college that is reasonably priced."

"Program is excellent and competitive and the faculty is amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better program!"

"This is a great program, every student gets a tuition benefit and the professors and courses are rigorous and satisfying."

"Pros: Excellent Faculty and student support. Cons: Financial aid for graduate students is unfortunately sparse."

"BYU is not the highest rated civil engineering program but the professors for water resources own the world's premier water resources modeling company Aquaveo. That is highly competitive and should look good on anybody's resume who want to pursue modeling."

"For the first time in my education I felt that all the material I was learning was valuable to my theoretical growth and practical knowledge as well. I was challenged as I never had been before, but the support and encouragement coupled with the organization of the program were sufficient for my completion of the program. I would recommend the Teacher Education program to any teacher seeking to improve their overall pedagogical competency."

"Pros: Very friendly environment Professors ready to help you always Good network among students Cons: No diverse graduate course"

"Great faculty and staff, I felt like they were really knowledgeable, but still approachable. Their tuition is amazing for the great education you receive. I loved the outdoors in Utah (when I had time to go), you can drive 15-30 minutes from Provo and take some great hikes."

"The biggest pro of going to BYU Law is the extremely low cost tuition rate, compared to most other law schools. This means less debt and more freedom to choose the type of career to pursue. Another pro is the large network of BYU Law alumni spread out across the country, so that a student isn't stuck in Utah if they wish to work elsewhere. A big con is having to live through the outrageously cold Utah winters, but if you like a lot of snow, it could be a pro. Another con is that although there is a good network of BYU attorneys outside of Utah, most law firms that come to campus to recruit students are Utah-based. Thus, if you are seeking to practice in another state, you're pretty much on your own to network and make employment connections."

"BYU is the best bang for your buck. I am struggling to find a job in this tough legal market, but I am glad that I don't have debt looming over my head like I would had I gone to the east coast for school. The teachers are very willing to help, and I have had few unrewarding classes. I absolutely love my fellow peers, even when they don't agree with me. Especially when they don't agree with me."

"Pros are the fabulous professors. They really go in depth into the material and expect the students to come to class prepared. The biggest con is the location because of the lousy weather almost year round."

"I was able to buy a house in Provo on the graduate stipend. There was nothing to help me find a job. The key is to find a professor who is well connected and to choose a field that is hot. I would recommend BYU for a masters, but not a PhD in chemistry. You'll gain a lot of rich experiences in research with a much closer relationship to your advisor than you would elsewhere. Your experience will be enjoyable and the community is great. However, BYU does not command the prestige to make you competitive in the job market, especially academia. I did graduate in an economic downturn, and was still able to get a PostDoc job at the University of Colorado. I would seek a more prestigious degree if I had it to do over again."

"It is a great program I wish therecwascsome more diversity in the program."

"I think the professors are very versed in the subjects they teach, many of which have experience in the field that they teach. They are also very willing to help and teach and spend more time helping students. One of the biggest cons is the overwhelming number of new students trying to enter the health program which has made it difficult to get into the classes I would like."

"There are many great activities offered at BYU-I including a good sports program that allows students to compete competitively or for fun. The educational system is wonderful. I have felt that many classes have challenged me and have helped me gain a much better knowledge of my major. There has been an increase in the number of students that are attending the university which has made it more difficult to get into the classes that I need. It is also very difficult to find any kind of job."

"BYU offers an excellent MBA program at an incredible value. The professors are exceptional and the students in the program are outstanding."

"The most I like about BYU is the working environment. Students and professors are very friendly and ready to help you whenever you need."

"I am in the youth and family recreation masters program. It is the top phd prep program in the recreation field. We have constant access to the professors, a great financial offer and I feel like I am getting a fabulous education."

"My experience with the Master of Public Health program has been very positive. The faculty are all very invested and want to help students learn. The program is structured so you can still work if you want, and many students do. I was a little wary about the conservative nature of the school, but I found quite moderate and liberal professors and students in the program. They are building a new building that will house the MPH program starting in 2014. The faculty will help guide students when it comes to their fieldwork and project, but it is up to the student to make a final decision- so you need to take initiative and decide what you want out of those experiences."
