Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus housing is a little unique at BYU-Idaho because no matter where students live, their apartment complex must be designated as approved housing. This means their housing abides by the honor code, and all tenants of approved housing are registered BYU-I students, even though the school doesn’t own all student-approved housing complexes. However, most students make a distinction between campus housing and off-campus housing as being dorms versus apartments. The dorms are located at the center of campus near the Taylor Building and MC. Many freshmen choose to live in dorms their first couple of semesters and then after that select an apartment near the buildings they frequent for classes.

The dorms are much less roomy than most apartments, but they allow students to get a little more involved with the social atmosphere of BYU-I student life. Since many underclassmen have several general classes located all over campus, living in the dorms offers the benefit of close proximity to all campus buildings. Dorm residents are also better able to take advantage of the on-campus activities offered to students because they’re so close to everything.

What Dorms They Have Are Good

There are only so many dorms (7 complexes total that I know of) on campus, but the cooking dorms they have are worth the freshman experience and fairly cheap as well.

The options for student housing off campus is extremely limited as far as married student housing goes, but there are some reasonably priced single housing close to campus with enough amenities for someone to live by.

On Campus

As single students, we must live in approved housing. The college sets pretty high standards for this, so most facilities stay pretty nice. Some of them are older, but even these are kept up pretty well. The newer housing coming in (there is a lot) is top of the line.

Campus Life

Many people don't live on campus. They live in campus approved housing. The housing is exceptional. The cost and very cheap but everything is top notch. The atmosphere is wonderful. I always feel so happy. The housing process is quite simple. Everyone is out to help everyone. I would recommend BYU Idaho housing to everyone.
