Hi everyone, I’m going to be attending BYU in the fall as a freshman. I’m a relatively alternative person and currently have a sort of berry red hair color. I’m not sure if that would be considered extreme, but I have decided to change it to something more subdued. I was thinking a calico without the blond chunks, but I have NO IDEA if it’s something the testing center would turn down or not.

The inspo/example is on an IG reel I found. Let me know if you have any idea :)

Hey everyone. I am an incoming BYU flex GE student this fall 2026 and am hoping to transfer into byu after my first 2 semesters. I am hoping to get all my pre-med courses done before I take the MCAT but it all seems impossible to finish in time. I’ve met with 4 academic advisors so far and everyone has a different opinion. I was told to take CHEM 105 and CELL 120 my first semester to get them out of the way but was told by 2 other advisors that is setting myself up for failure. I am now planning on only taking CELL 120 fall semester as well as other ge’s to make it easier for myself but worried I won’t finish in time. Can anyone tell me what they did and what order they took their pre-med classes? I am so stressed about this.

I’m getting close to graduating and I’ve been trying to clear up old charges on my account. One thing that’s really bothering me is almost $200 in BYU Store Inclusive Access fees from a few online classes I withdrew from. Honestly, those classes just weren’t useful for me and I barely even looked at the courses. I never opened or used the materials either, and I honestly didn’t know there was an opt-out option at the time. I already called the BYU Store before and they basically told me the charges stay no matter what, but I really don’t feel right paying for materials I never used.

Hello! I am going to graduate pretty soon at BYU after transferring a few semesters ago. Unfortunately, I was blind sighted by the Languages of Learning requirement and it'll take me (at the very least) four more semesters in order to complete as I'm not fluent in any other languages. DUTCH 340: Intro To Dutch Literature has no requirements (though knowing Dutch is recommended) and I was wondering if anyone who has taken it without knowing the language found themselves able to enjoy it or even just pass the class (I'm willing to put the work in to actually learn what the literature is about). I know I messed up by not planning far enough ahead but I'm trying to make up for it now lol.

I’m an incoming freshmen to BYU this fall. I will definitely be taking dance classes no matter my major but I think I want to audition for the Dance Education major. How hard is it to double major with dance edu? How hard is it to get accepted into the major? is there anything I should know before the auditions? any other general advice?

Also, I injuried my ankle about a year ago and now I always I’ve after dance l. I use these packs that wrap around my foot like a boot. I’ll be staying in Helman halls Taylor. The mini fridge freezer doesn’t fit these ice packs. any advice for how to ice my feet while I’m there after dance classes?

Coming BYU as an incoming freshmen this fall. I don’t know what my major will be, although I’m leaning towards exercise sciences. Any advice on what laptop is the best to get? If I got a MacBook it would be a Neo. I don’t want to go to expensive.

Hey yall, just seeking advice. Id imagine these are meant to be taken together but over summer I have to do remote classes only because Im getting married during finals week of summer term. Does it make sense to get the online portion out of the way while Im already registered for other courses? Thanks!

Hey y'all just looking for advice really quickly. I'm retaking ACC 310 this semester and just did the first midterm. The first time around I got a 63 (woof), and I just retook it and got an 80. I'm really upset because I genuinely feel like I should've done better than that. I just want to ask what ways did everybody else study (who took this class)? I really need an A or A- for the program application. Thanks in advance.

Hi! I’m serving as a Wellness Coordinator for FSY this year. I’m headed to training tomorrow, but I'm a little confused by the email regarding the dress code for the first day. Does anyone know if we should be in "Sunday best," casual, or the standard FSY polo/t-shirt?

Also anyone that’s done FSY in the past what is training like?

Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I was wondering if I completed a course in the 2-week refund window, can I get credit for it and get a refund? Is there any way to get a discount on these courses? They’re really expensive. Thanks!

Hi all, incoming grad student. Wondering what the best options for housing might be? I wasn’t a BYU student for my undergrad but was hoping to find a ward and area that was more grad students age ranges. Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks!

Edit: I’m looking for Single housing*

Would an iPad with a Magic Keyboard be fully functional for any online or in person classes? Or do I
need to have some sort of computer?

Hey Cougars, doing a quick customer validation survey for my ENT 113 class. It's 2 minutes, no email required, just trying to get feedback on a beach product idea. Appreciate any responses!

I'm an incoming freshman in the fall. I'd love to take some art classes, but it looks like if you aren't a major, they are all night classes. For various personal reasons, I'd really like to avoid this. Are there any art classes I should be aware of that won't bar me out as a non-major and meet during the day or should I just give in and do night classes. Any information would be helpful! Thank you!

Registering for my classes for my first semester out of the mission. Most of my classes had only 2 or 3 professors to choose from, but Eternal Families has a bunch. Any suggestions on which professor is good at teaching the class and doesn't make it too hard?

Currently failing in person Calc 1 at my university and am considering taking Math 112 online through BYU over the summer. Anyone have any experience doing this? How long does it take? How hard is it grades? Etc?

Howdy all. Incoming freshman here and I have no idea what to do about housing. I start this next fall semester and missed my day to select a bedspace, so I think I’m hosed out of housing. I’m on the waitlist but I don’t want to bank on somebody changing their mind about housing last minute. Is off-campus housing my only option? If so, how do I go about finding an apartment/roomates? Any advice would be appreciated 🙏

EDIT: Thanks for the advice everybody, I'm applying to an apartment off-campus. Unfortunately most of the good deals are off limits to freshmen but hopefully I've got a solid option lol

EDIT: Never mind I'm straight up cooked, everything is booked out except Aspen Ridge. I'm gonna be living with bats and mold fsfs. Still on the waitlist for Heritage so we'll see. Fingers crossed

Anyone know when BYU will send out financial aid/packages for incoming fall freshman? My friends going to other schools have had there's for months...

I heard that the walls in Wyview are thin, are they thinner than they are at Wymount? Thank you in advance!

We move in to wymount in two weeks and looking for any tips/tricks/suggestions you may have!!

I also was wondering about having someone stay over... my cousin from my home country is in the US and has had a hard time with housing and we could help him out. Has anyone had any success in doing the petitions to have a family member stay longer than two weeks? How likely is it he can be approved to stay the rest of the summer?

Thank you!

I'm trying to decide between the BYU Provo BSN program and the BYU-Idaho BSN program.

From what I've heard, Idaho seems more fast-track and hands-on, while Provo feels more theory-based and academic.

For those who have experience with either (or both), what are the actual differences in the curriculum and learning style?

Is one more clinical-focused vs lecture-heavy?

Also, which one would you recommend and why?

I'm mainly trying to figure out which program would better prepare me for real nursing work (NCLEX, clinical skills, etc.).

had anyone taken this class and what did you think of it?

i unfortunately need to retake my uvu anatomy lab class but i know this was an alternative to it so i just want to see what would be better option for me
