The questions for this blog post are: What did you find better then you anticipated; what is one aspect of school you found harder; and if you could change one part of your experience at BYU what would it be.

Well, when I first thought about the first question I found it difficult to answer. I was so busy prior to coming to BYU (being on a different continent for August, and then moving the day I got back) that I hadn't really the time or inclination to anticipate anything. I suppose the only thing you could say is that there are certain things that I think are better here then in other universities. One of those things is how close together everything is on campus. I do have a 30 minute walk onto campus in the morning (and back in the evening) but my friends that go to university back home in B.C. could spend 30 minutes walking between classes! I didn't, when choosing classes, how close everything is on campus.

For the second question I suppose that it'd have to do with the reading that is involved in university classes. I didn't realize until I saw my syllabuses, how many pages of reading I'd have to do each day. I have to read chapters every week for Political Sciences, a half hour of Book of Mormon everyday, the New York Times everyday (which can take a really long time), a chapter of Physical Sciences three times a week. And that's on top of studying and essays...


Last paragraph. What would I change about my experience at BYU? Well, I sure wish I had less work to do during the day. Work like doing this blogpost actu
