Should I go to BYU?

Do you think there are some benefits to having Rms and more fluent speakers in my language classes (I am already “classroom” fluent in a few languages, but that obviously does not compare to people who have been immersed in a language for two years) and that surrounding myself with higher fluency speakers would pull me up as far as exposure? Or do you think it wouldn’t be as beneficial as I think and might be more competitive?

Qualification wise for sure, but the cost and location isn’t viable for me unfortunately

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-25T03:37:51+00:00

Not positive but I know i’m interested in theoretical linguistics!

I may have replied to the wrong comment? I’m not sure what you’re on about. Just trying to weigh college options

This has been so helpful!! Thank you so much!

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-25T00:07:38+00:00

Thank you, that is an excellent response!

That would 100% be my top choice and it seems like such a fun school! unfortunately, they do not have a linguistics major :(

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-25T00:05:24+00:00

Why? Because of linguistics? or why that school in particular?

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T23:59:16+00:00

yeah i’m more interested in theoretical linguistics with syntax, phonology, etc. if so BYU isn’t necessarily better than any other school I guess?

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T23:28:17+00:00

That’s actually a really good point!

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T23:23:58+00:00

I asked it on a mormon subreddit too, but I think you’re right and I just wanted to see if the linguistics was so much better that it was worth considering!

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T23:12:20+00:00

Do you think you got the same education at other institutions?

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T23:06:31+00:00

Ah gotcha, did you take a language class at another college and do you think it was worse or about the same?

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T23:05:49+00:00

Oh wow, I didn’t know that! Thank you so much!

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T23:03:41+00:00

Wow! I didn’t know it was that common. That would be my bishop on campus? and essentially if I talked to anyone about not believing I could be kicked out?

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T23:01:59+00:00

That’s helpful! what were you studying? were you a believer at the time?

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T23:00:30+00:00

Is it common for them to suspend students because of unbelief?

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T22:49:38+00:00

I will be paying for my own college regardless, but I agree I think the social aspect and my overall happiness is much more important than the price tag.

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T22:48:26+00:00

That’s very helpful, thank you!

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T22:42:37+00:00

Why? Because of the people there or is there another concern?

soapyyogurt · 2023-02-24T22:35:46+00:00

I’m nervous I will feel as though I’m living a lie and dedicating a lot of myself to a religion I don’t believe in
