Jiawen from Laie, HI
I love this campus and school! The teachers are engaging and my classes are enjoyable. There's no better place to be than at BYUH.
Morgan from Hamilton, MO
There is an opportunity for a close relationship between instructor and pupil. It is a positive and healthy atmosphere. It is culturally diverse and there are plenty of opportunities to familiarize yourself with the rest of the world without even leaving campus.
Anne from Lindon, UT
Excellent school, plenty of great education environment. Small school means better attention from teachers and faculty. Beaches.
Andrew from Holladay, UT
Beautiful Campus with great location. Classes and professors often fairly laid back, but not always. Overall great, administration is the largest annoyance, probably not unlike most campuses in that way.
