BYU? Diversity? Funny Joke.
BYU is possibly the most white bread school in the country. Possibly. There really aren't many different ethnic groups here. We do not have many black people here and there are more asians but white is definitely the majority. Which is kind of odd considering that BYU does have a lot of foreign students. It probably has more foreign students than most colleges but not as much diversity. If that makes sense. We all believe basically the same thing in regards to religion (it is an LDS college) and political beliefs. I think it is rather unfortunate that we don't have many ethnicities here because I think we would be extremely accepting of them. Bummer.

We Walk or Have Cars
It's easy to walk to school and to a few grocery schools from off campus housing. But if you want to go to the movies, to the mall, or for some good shopping you'll need a car. We have bus options and it's not super expensive but taking the bus isn't really something I think about as an option. Not that I wouldn't, it just doesn't come to mind. Overall, I guess it's good.

Half and Half
BYU is a really fun school but it isn't a walk in the park. It has a great environment that can make you feel like a 5 year old with the responsibilities of a 40 year old. You have to spend a lot of time studying, but the students still do fun activities. We know how to work, and we know how to play. Let's call it good.

Safest School in the USA?
I think yes. BYU is such a safe school it's borderline ridiculous. We even have what we call a police beat, where the cops report random 'criminal activities'. Some of the reports go as follows: A boy was found attempting to steal tulips from BYU campus. He told the police it was for his mother. They let him off with a warning.

Clean Cut
The boys at BYU are shaven, good hearted young gentleman. Generally. The girls at BYU are sweet and kindly souls, who are also really pretty. Generally. Everyone's obsessed with marriage. Always.

It Doesn't Exist.
The title basically sums it up. I kind of wish it did though. I like the idea of being in a sisterhood or brotherhood. Only, minus the drinking and other immoral activities.
