Hi Mimi, I just found your channel having seen your videos from a few years ago on Saints Unscripted (: I am in the process of putting in an application at BYU as an older student. I am primarily Buddhist and go to LDS church services. Are there any older students at all or is it all younger people only??? Will people be o.k. with a Buddhist being there??? I really love your energy and your joy! (:

[@Mimi.Bascom]

@@freemangriffin4953 hi, thanks so much for your support on my videos! Yes, I think you would love BYU! I had a few older students in my classes and really enjoyed getting to know them. And there aren't many non-LDS students at BYU, so you may feel a bit different, but I would hope/assume that people would still treat you with love and respect :)

[@FHLAXLVRMD]

Not only am I not at BYU, but i graduated from college years ago. But for some reason i'm so entertained by this content

[@harrisonlapahie3483]

Tip: On the first day, when a student takes a class at BYU, that student has to go to that class thinking that they will get an "A". When you go in, analyze the professor, the textbook, the syllabus, the homework, and the classroom. Sometimes a professor doesn't seem right, or the textbook doesn't seem right. If it seems too hard for you, drop the class. Sometimes taking another professor, or having a different textbook, is a better decision. BYU is a Tri-Semester system which is Fall, Winter, and Spring. Use the Summer Semester to make up, or catch up, if you dropped a course during the Tri-Semester. Also consider taking the class at the local community college in your home state if you have to go back home during the summer. In every course you take, always try to get an "A". If you can't do that, then just give your best. STEM majors are extremely hard at BYU. If you want to be a doctor, you have to get nearly straight "A"s. Overall, BYU is a hard school, compared to the norm university. Don't go to BYU just because you are Mormon (LDS). Choose a college or university where you WILL succeed and be happy.

i literally know hundreds of byu students/alumni and i have learned more practical advice from this video than the rest of my life combined, you guys are legends

[@jdlanderfamily]

This is so helpful as an incoming freshman! Thank you!

[@samlee2316]

Frick, I'll sub. I mean I'm applying to five universities and have been binge-watching these college-like videos for all of the schools I'm applying to in order to get a feeling of the culture. Senior year = stress szn.

[@amiboacid7183]

Another awesome video, good job guys! Would you consider filming a week in a life of a BYU student? It would be so interesting!

[@Mimi.Bascom]

Thanks so much for your comment! And yes, I was planning on filming my first week of school, so stay tuned for that :)

[@amiboacid7183]

Looking forward to watch it!

[@ZeusAndKiller]

This is such good advice not just for school, but life in general. And you're right, so many people like being social and having a bunch of friends, but not many put themselves out there.

[@mikaylamaloney9753]

Part two yes!!!🙌🏻 This video was AmAzInG (once again😉) and super helpful because I’m in the time of life where college is looming around the corner. I just love these kind of videos! Thanks Mimi for another great one❤️❤️

[@lilyscrivens7274]

I’m going to byu this fall, thank you for the advice!!!

[@clairekeller7765]

so excited to start coming to byu this fall!! also i swear i’ve watched this video like twice a year since it came out bc i’m scared i’ll forget everything 😂

[@Mimi.Bascom]

Ahh congrats girl!! Don’t hesitate to message me on IG if you have any questions about anything!! 🤍

[@emmysharry]

[@MackenzieTaylor]

Great video, I'd love a part 2! Maybe you could share some tips on time management? I'm going to be working while attending school and I'm afraid that finding balance will be a challenge.

[@VYNTXG]

i plan on attending byu fall 2020 and this video helped me decide for sure on attending. thank you !

[@emilynuttall8259]

This is surprisingly helpful thanks !

[@jacobb6573]

Hey Mimi. You popped up on my recommended and I must say, your videos are helping me out and I really appreciate your insight. I’m a freshman at BYU Idaho and my family is 1,600 miles away in Texas. I have been enjoying myself here getting to know some people and your dating advice is great. It’s just pretty scary to me... 😬. Thanks for everything

[@Mimi.Bascom]

I am so happy to hear this!! Don’t put pressure on yourself to date before you feel ready - establish your school routine and meet some friends first! Enjoy your first year of school! You will always remember it! 😊

[@jacobb6573]

Great video Mimi hope that you can tell us about how college life goes on when new people come in.?

[@ernestmarcucella6918]

What do I do if I am not accepted into BYU.? Is there another type of College that I can file to.?

[@sarahcole_ann]

Thank you!!!

in my family the motto is it’s better to be over dressed not under dressed sooooo idk

knocking doors reminds me of being a missionary

[@llarahseitz2679]

this is great advice

[@celestemorgan606]

Mimi, how do you balance college and a marriage? Do most people get married during or after college?

[@Mimi.Bascom]

Hi Celeste, that’s a great question! It was definitely hard to balance since I was a super overachiever in school and took my education really seriously! I know people who have gotten married during and after college, so it’s common to do either way! The biggest thing that helped me balance it was scheduling time with Eric! Even though we live together, we scheduled specific times for meals, dates and workouts together and that really helped! 😊

[@celestemorgan606]

@@Mimi.Bascom Thanks so much! I really love all your videos, I don't have quite a few people to go to when I have questions, so I really appreciated this! :)

[@emanaziz1022]

Does BYU only accept Christians?

[@cottoncandy3630]

No, but you are required to take religous courses and follow the honour code so that's kinda meh. But the tuition is fairly cheaper than other schools (especially for international students) and it has fairly good education so

[@harrisonlapahie3483]

@@cottoncandy3630 BYU has Ivy League quality education! For 2019, it's ranked the #1 Best Value School in the Nation by Forbes College Ranking and by the Wall Street Journal.

[@sarawillett7431]

Eman it’s a LDA ( mormon) school, majority of ppl there are mormon, I believe all profs are LDS. They do accept some non LDS ppl but majority of them would still be Christian. There’s specific rules there that other ppl might not want to follow, especially BYU Idaho, they are really strict about certain things.

Hahaha I took 16 credits my first semester, and 15 credits my second! And...then I fell off a cliff. That was not good for my schooling.

Did you literally fall off a cliff or is that supposed to be a metaphor?

@@southerngirl4076 I wish it was a metaphor! I was in a coma for three months and spent the next two years learning how to walk again! Fortunately, I could still read and stuff-I only struggled physically.
