This just reinforces America's belief that BYU is the Oral Roberts of the West.

You have to be courageous no matter what denomination consume MD.

Like Homer Simpson, I'd rather drink crab juice.

Youd about have to be drunk to enroll in BYU, so maybe they sober up about the time they find out what college they at! Waking up with a hangover at BYU would sober me up!!

Most sober... | 11:18 a.m. July 28, 2008
...we'll take it. And BYU has plenty of parties and social life going on. But I guess in the eyes of the world their style doesn't qualify it as a "party school" since booze is not involved and students are not hurling all over their shoes and having unchecked sexual relations. Oh we are so missing out. Not.

Great comments from the people that could not get into college or had to settle for state schools.

Students are "high" on self-righteousness instead.

What about USU?


Are we talking sports, or college rankings? I'm starting to think that "What about USU" must be the school's motto.

The creamery makes the best chocolate milk!

I don't get the high involvement in student government, tho. When I went there (two years ago) it was regarded as a joke.

Dear "Great Comments,"

To claim that anyone who hasn't chosen to go to BYU couldn't get in is one true example (of few) of the pride and self-righteous behavior that many feel the campus is saturated with. There is no other way to look at it.

Wouldn't it be easy to cut it out?

Meh, I enjoyed my time at the U (including a couple drunken nights at frat parties), and I never had troubles contacting my teachers. They all have regular office hours and an e-mail address. And the few girls I knew in high school who went to BYU got married before finishing their degree and didn't end up graduating. Of course, I know a girl like that who went to the U, but her husband is now going to BYU for graduate school, while she tends their two babies (she's 22).

It is no surprise that LDS Church's flagship school rates highest on the survey for sobriety. It is nice to see a school that stands up for what it says it believes.

I'll bet BYU ranks pretty high on the spirit-of-Elijah family history survey, also.

As someone who graduated from both BYU and USU, I have to say BYU is definitely more of a stone-cold sober school. Way to go Cougs!!

Too bad "Play the Game" doesn't realize his own comment is self-righteous. Let all the naysayers make their comments. Those of us who graduated from the Y know what a great school it really is!
