  I couldn’t have asked for a better place to get my undergraduate degree. I graduated in 2025 with my degree in Biomedical Sciences and spent 7 semesters at BYU-I. The faculty are incredible, gifted teachers. They can explain difficult concepts with ease and are ready to help you constantly. Many professors knew me by name and even helped write letters of recommendation as I prepped for my post-baccalaureate education. As I advanced in my major, the class sizes went from around 50 students on average to maybe 20. The small class sizes allowed for more one-on-one teaching moments and shame-free question asking. The school is amazingly affordable. I was lucky to have a job while attending which covered my tuition— no gap year needed. Plus, with the trimester setup, I fast tracked my way through college at the same time. I’m definitely blessed, but everything about BYU-I had its perks! I also found that the Christ-centered education allowed for a greater depth of understanding the sciences. The spirit can be felt on campus and it makes a difference— less competing with those around you and more serving. While the winters were very cold and the roads got super icy, I’d still hike up every hill in Rexburg to get to my 7:45am class if I had to do it again— because it was worth it.

  Other than some confusing construction near the Hinckley building and I believe the Student Health Center this campus is beautiful and has a wonderful feel about it!

  Would give 0 stars if I could. My time at BYU Idaho has been defined by profound administrative incompetence, most notably in their deeply flawed communication systems. Their failure to process transfer credits correctly, despite documentation being sent and received, forced me to delay my graduation by an entire semester. When addressing this issue, I was met with consistent organizational incompetence and a lack of accountability from staff. Furthermore, the university's career resources for biology students are entirely inadequate. The department job fair provided no relevant industry opportunities, catering exclusively to individuals seeking medical or doctorate programs. This demonstrates a failure to understand the diverse career paths available in biotechnology and bioengineering. Finally, the student run advising center is chaotic and managed by peers who lack professional experience. Instead of receiving guidance from experts, students are given advice derived from generic AI scripts, offering no statistical data or real assistance in pursuing a job in these fields. This lack of institutional support is a significant disservice to the future opportunities of its graduates.
