[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted upthread that I attended BYU and loved it and even though I left the church, I have mostly very positive memories. I graduated debt free and launched into a solid career (currently making mid-six figures in my thirties).

I don't like that people on this board are perpetuating the idea that[b] kids go to BYU just to get married.  That may have been the case thirty plus years ago, and I'm sure there is still some of that now, but BYU is academically rigorous and selective, and there are plenty of solid job opportunities available for serious students. [/b] The law school is now ranked 23rd by USNW, and there are top big law positions available nationwide for the top 25% of the class. I actually felt like I had an advantage interviewing as a woman because a lot of the alumni interviewers are trying to promote LDS women.

That said, personally, I think it would be socially challenging to be a nonmember as an undergrad just because so many things revolve around church sponsored activities.  If your kid is involved in other activities, like a sport, music, clubs, whatever, they might be fine.  University of Utah is also a great school and affordable even for nonresidents.  [/quote]
both can be true. I graduated from byu three years ago, and it is definitely sstill the case that marriage is a huge part of the culture at byu.[/quote]
