And how exactly do you define a quality education? From a college centered in a thriving metropolis?

I can say that BYU-Idaho offers an excellent education for the price, and this is why: the quality of one's education is not determined by class size, professors, local opportunities for personal enrichment. It is determined by the amount of blood, sweat, and tears that one is willing to invest in one's education. Abe Lincoln was a failure in law school his first try, so he went home. He studied Euclid until he could give all 70 of the propositions from memory. Then he went back, and he became such an excellent logician that a colleague said of him that when Lincoln argued his case, he was so logical that though you disagreed completely, you couldn't argue with him. Lincoln did not get this quality from his law school-- he got it himself. You can get a world-class education no matter where you go to school. It all depends on you. Your statement is ridiculous, presumptuous, and arrogant. I often find that to be the attitude of Provo students. I was accepted to both schools, and chose Idaho. My main reason was size. But the quality of my education would have been the same in either place, because I am the same person no matter where I go.

 

Speaking as someone who plans on transfering from BYU-Idaho to Provo.  Your post has absolutely no merit, whatsoever...  Seriously, your entire point is lost when you say "I don't know anything about BYU-I's education or professors, but Provo's is better!"

Really?  How would you know that Provo's is better if you don't know anything about BYU-Idahos educational system?  Your argument makes about much sense as saying one apple taste better than another, despite only tasting one of them and not even trying the second.  Is that the kind of fallacy based logic they teach at BYU-Provo?  If you don't know anything about a certain institution, you just assume that yours is better?  Do you have any actual reasoning behind this besides your own cognitive dissonance? 

Maybe, if you actually used a fact based example to back up your claim, your point would have some substance, but instead you just come off as a jerk who is trying to insult the students here at Rexburg and brag about how much greater your school is.  I guess thats the kind of idiocentric teaching I can expect back in Happy Valley...
