What can I say it is not about the school, but the attitude of the person. If you think you are better for one reason or another....you are the problem!

It's the reason I dislike that school very much!

Steph, for the record, yes I was a bit disappointed at first but I know BYU-I is where I should be and, like all of you hoped I would be, I am STOKED to go. I have everything planned out. I have felt that lately as I tell people the results, the "oh I'm so sorry" tone they imply when they say "well that will be nice" or "well I've heard it's just beautiful up there!" It gets annoying but I think it will be okay. Thank you for your support in my love for BYU-I :)Laura https://www.blogger.com/profile/18233005085711420983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916443087568299231.post-40736884667592132352010-02-22T18:48:27.745-08:002010-02-22T18:48:27.745-08:00AMEN AMEN AMEN.

BYU Provo is perfect for some, and Idaho for others. One in not better than another, one may just be a better fit than another. Trust me, I went to every BYU BUT Provo! And guess what...I got a job faster than many of my friends who went to school before me...who aren't yet done with BYU...and I am dang proud of it too!

When she first found your blog, she read it for days trying to catch up on your life and I started to get a Steph Webb inferiority complex.<br /><br />I, too, have BYU rants!! But for much different reasons...mainly that I graduated from the beacon on the Hill that accents the background behind the SLC temple. Thank you for telling the world that attending BYU is not the be all, end all requirement for becoming an enlightened and educated person :)Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656293033005293526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916443087568299231.post-57465345661704615282010-02-22T14:33:31.167-08:002010-02-22T14:33:31.167-08:00OH Steph.

I never understood why there had to be competition between the 2 schools and the "why would anyone WANT to go to BYU-I" attitude. Grrrrr. I know a number of people who got into BYU in the beginning or with the intent to transfer and instead stayed at BYU-I (I planned on transferring myself). I'm with you sister!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672588067509850952noreply@blogger.com
