How does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints influence campus life at BYU?
The gospel of Jesus Christ plays a central role in campus life at Brigham Young University. There is a strong spirit of love and friendship here—a love for humanity that extends beyond race, ethnicity, geographic lines, or religious preferences. More than 250 LDS Church congregations meet on campus, and nearly every Tuesday the campus closes and the student body gathers to listen to a devotional speaker. In addition, religion classes are required for graduation and BYU students, staff, and faculty agree to abide by the BYU Honor Code and the BYU Dress and Grooming Standards. Overall, BYU is a great place to learn, live, worship, and grow.
