  Would you like to be taught be real humans that know what they are talking about about? BYUI will help you understand why literally any other school is a better option. I took classes from here online and the professors on multiple occasions across many different CSE and WDD classes told me to use chat gpt and AI to learn the course work and due to a bug in their system I cannot take a class critical to my success in class and in the industry I’m studying for. It’s cheap and it still feels like I need a refund for paying people to tell me to use free resources like YouTube w3 articles and AI when I wanted to learn from actual humans. Don’t go here unless you drank the kool aid growing up and it’s too damn late.

  Terrible quality university. Discrimination and unfair treatment towards disabilites, income, and genders. No support for medical, living, or financial needs. After 2 years living on campus, I fully regret it all and I had a much better experience at my community college in my home town. Don't waste your money and time coming here. There are much better options out there.

  Came here to pursue Electrical Engineering. Left 2 years later feeling frustrated, disappointed, and robbed of my money while being screwed over and over. Now I'm halfway through my degree and I'm forced to live on campus to continue my degree... I cannot take anymore classes online because there are NONE available. This university doesn't care about its students, especially those with disabilities. Now I'm out $10,000 in the hole and cannot continue my degree with living on campus because there are NO living accommodations for the apartments. The LDS church uses membership donations to help fund this university, but then ONLY is available to those that CAN live on campus and do school. The LDS church needs to be more inclusive and available to ALL members, especially the full access and support that the students like me need but are forgotten about and screwed over. Unless things change for the better, I'm never recommending ANYONE go to this university.

  I came to BYU-Idaho hoping for a merit-based, flexible online program that would complement my full-time role as a software engineer. Instead, I found what feels like a scam wrapped in religious favoritism and outdated infrastructure. This school prioritizes hiring and seemingly advancing LDS members from around the world over actual merit or competence—it's not subtle, and it creates an uneven playing field for anyone who doesn't fit the mold. If you're not deeply embedded in that community, good luck getting fair treatment. The grading system is a nightmare. They use Canvas, which could be a solid tool, but the rubrics are ancient and riddled with inconsistencies—no clear guidelines, no modern updates, and zero clue from instructors on how assessments are actually evaluated. It's like they're grading in the dark ages: arbitrary feedback, delayed responses, and criteria that shift without notice. As someone balancing a demanding job with another degree in software engineering, this chaos wasted my time and money. I've poured hours into assignments only to get vague deductions that make no sense, all while watching the program drag on without any real support for working professionals. BYU-Idaho isn't just "messed up"—it's actively harmful to your career and sanity if you're expecting transparency or equity. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere (WGU or SNHU are worlds better for tech degrees). I regret every penny spent here. Strongly advise against enrolling.
