So, if they attend BYUI as an online student while living in Provo...

What school did you go to? BYU? No. BYU-I.

Never set foot on campus at byu-i, it would be lying to say I "went" there

No but you attended BYU-I, not BYU.

chago04

If you did BYU-I online, that's about three steps below U of Phoenix, right?

Don't know, I've never been to Phoenix

It would be lying to say you got a degree from BYU if your degree is from BYU-I.

I'm not following your logic. If I said I went to BYU-I in Provo it would be

UberDeek

Yes, that would be confusing. Because BYU-I isn't in Provo. Your potential

You're right they should list BYU PROVO or BYU I so we know the difference

Cabadapeste

There is not a BYU Provo, it is BYU, BYU Idaho, BYU Hawaii. That’s it

Where is BYU?! It’s in Provo. BYU-Provo

covfefe

4/20/18 2:46pm

It’s of course in Provo, but it’s name isn’t BYU Provo

LOL, sure thing, chief. Except that BYU is a top-75, BYU-I has no national rank.

I agree, it really only matters for new grads with no experience.

Went to BYU Provo. Then grad school. It wouldn’t have mattered had I got I

Of course not, but they’ve always gone by separate names like that. BYU and BYU-I are way too close.BYU-I should’nt have

Outside of the Mountain West it doesn't really matter anyhow. I put BYU-I on..
