Beautiful Campus
BYU's campus is amazing and includes about 300 buildings. BYU has several museums (art, paleontology, peoples & cultures, life science). There are numerous high-quality facilities for performing arts and sports (indoor practice fields & tennis courts, student athlete building, field house with track, five concert halls, 4 art galleries). There's a planetarium, astronomy telescope, a cancer research center. I heard that other than Harvard, BYU's library has more books than any other university library in the USA. The student center includes ballrooms, a bookstore, a bowling ally, a barber shop, and much more. The campus itself is beautiful - well-manicured lawns, trees, and gardens. There's a duck pond and a few streams and fountains. The mountains are beautiful too. The only complaint is that there's always construction going on at one place or another.

BYU Climate
Springs and summers are great - very warm (but not humid), lots of outdoor activities. Overall very pleasant. Autumn is very pretty - lots of leaves changing color and the mountains are gorgeous. Winters are very cold - usually a fair amount of snow. Winters are pretty grey, and the transition into spring seems to take forever.
