Students Say - Student Body
Unsurprisingly, the typical BYU student is "culturally LDS" and therefore "does not smoke, drink alcohol, coffee or tea, does not swear, and is generally trustworthy and honest." Beyond this, all who actively follow the school's behavioral and honor codes are well-accepted regardless of race or religion; those who don't "do not remain students here for long." This relative homogeneity allows for plenty of niches, and "there are lots of different students with wide varieties of interests." With such a large student body, most atypical students can still find large groups of supportive friends: "The BYU Democrats club now claims more members than the BYU Republicans." However, some students feel BYU "could improve its awareness on social issues such as gay rights." Hard work and service abound at BYU, and not very many students come to class claiming that the dog ate their homework. Most students "are very well accomplished and have high standards" and do a great deal of community service. Because of the LDS church's emphasis on missionary experience, the majority of the student body "speaks a foreign language fluently and commands an impressive depth of knowledge on the country they served in." Twenty-one percent of undergrads at BYU are married.
