Can anyone be accepted into that program?

Pretty sure... But without looking it up again I am suddenly doubting myself.

Is acceptance automatic? Also, it would help if he could get something saying he

Why not UU? Is it strictly a sport thing or are there other reasons?

Had a UofU student tell me professors were open in their attacks on the Church.

What effect did that have on their testimony?

Don't think it was a big deal for the first student. Destroyed the second one's.

I believe you only need one year in Utah to become a resident

He's interested in BYU-I. Great option. Mom is super against BYU-I so we'll see.

What reasons are why Mom is super against BYU-I?
