Hi!
Hello How are you?
Pretty great, how are you?
I am doing well What are you up to today?
Right now I'm in Econ I'm an incoming freshman :)
Nice! Are you excited?
Beyond excited haha I would go tomorrow if I could Are you already at BYU?
Do you know what you want to major in Yeah Well I am on summer break
Computer Science :) what's your major?
Oh nice, I took a programming class this last semester I am doing Industrial Design
Cool! Any advice for an incoming freshman?
Oh boy I dont know, do you have specific questions?
Kind of random but I saw on the byu website that you should expect 2 hours of hw per hour of class you take,  have you found that to be true?
Yeah That is a pretty good estimate
Oh... I was hoping it was an overestimate :(
Haha well if you can manage time and get things done along the way it doesnt always but that is a good average And you dont have the class every day usually so if you spread it out it is about an hour per class every night
Yeah I've started trying to make a schedule but I can't register for classes until june
It is different than highschool because you are paying to be a student rather than being required to go So all your time should basically be to be a student
Yeah true, I haven't done hw in a month lol We just waste so much time and I graduate later this month so there's just not a lot to do
Haha I remember that time Enjoy it And get ready to work
oh boy haha
I think the best way to prep is to read
Read what?
Just read books You will do a lot of reading and its hard to jump into that You kinda have to condition for it to make it easier
Hmm smart
Yeah
I love to read but I just don't make time for it, I'll have to start
Do you have any other questions?
guessing from your username, are you from Maryland?
Haha I am actually not I am from south carolina
Oh ok, I'm from maryland and I saw MD so I was just wondering haha
Haha its alright It is just initials Someone else thought the same thing, but I get a lot of questions about it
Oh ok, I don't know a lot of kids from MD going to/at byu so i was about to be really excited haha Not that I have all that much state pride, it's so humid and utah food is 100000 times better
Than Maryland?
yeah, at least where I live we just don't have many good restaurants no zupas :(
So are you from Maryland?
I was born in Texas actually but I've lived in Maryland for most of my life
Oh okay, I have met a few people from there
Yeah I have a few friends who are going to BYU this fall I'm the only Mormon senior at my school and I'm part of a branch so there just aren't that many lds kids where I live
I get that Out of 2 thousand I was 1 of 3
wow
Haha yeah
I imagine it's really nice to be surrounded LDS kids at byu?
It is different Not really what I am used to
Good different?
Yeah It took a little adjustment honestly
Makes sense Are clubs a big part of BYU?
Oh yes Every tuesday night is clubs night They all meet and you can go around and try out all of them
Any club recommendations?
Swing Dancing and Salsa club are fu fun* and ping pong club They have a list of all of them, there are a lot
I'm not much of a dancer but ping pong sounds fun What about service clubs?
They have a whole office called Y serve And they are constanly helping you find service projects they post all the different opportunities
Oh ok cool I imagine clubs are a bit different than in high school when everything is about boosting your resume or looking good for college applications haha
haha yeah the clubs are more for fun, there are some that might do that
hmmm im trying to think if i have any more questions about byu
Ask away if you think of any
oooh any good restaurant recommendations around campus?
Aloha plate Costa Vida The Wall Blaze Pizza Kyoto
I've heard good things about costa vida we have a cafe rio near where I live but I've never been to costa vida
It is basically the same thing They have the same food
ok what's kyoto?
It is my favorite sushi place they have a buy one get one free offer So you get a lot of good sushi
