BYU culture

Everywhere on campus has its own culture.
The HFAC is full of artsy people that like to be unique.  They push the BYU honor code the most by hiding their longer hair (if a boy) and colored hair (if a girl).  They're often seen carrying art boards or musical instruments around and they are usually the most into fashion.
Then you have the Wilk.  The people that eat here during lunch are either the "cool" kids, the ethnic groups, or the ones not looking to study but need a place to stop on their way to work.
You can always find good looking boys in suits in the Tanner building.  Careful though, they are usually the most serious ones on campus and look only at their futures.  It's go go go with them.
The HRCB has political science nerds.  A bunch of used New York Times papers in this building.  Lots of lectures go on here so unless you want to get dirty looks for talking and disrupting the educational opportunity, I would suggest avoiding this building.
The Talmage is full of NERDS.  It has its own kind of odor, a mix of frozen pizza/ burrito with BO.  Because math and computer science are such hard majors, the kids never leave and I think some of them don't like to shower.
The Benson is the chemistry building and you can find a handful of attractive pre-med students, but it's mostly full of chemistry enthusiasts that don't know anything about enjoying life.  They often change the subject back into why that aspect of life relates to chemistry. Weird.
The Marb/Widtsoe is an interesting one.  So many people have classes here that you get a good mix of personalities.  However, the Widtsoe has some crazy experiments going on in it, and a lot of animals so whenever I go in there I smell formaldehyde.  I'm pretty sure there's also a fair amount of asbestos in the air as well.  Probably why no one enjoys these buildings.
The RB/ Smith field house/ Student athlete building are intimidating.  Lots of tall and large athletes hang out here.  Also, the dress code is a little more relaxed for athletic wear so you'll often see athletes in short shorts and tank tops.  Some of them are cool, but most have a big ego.
That's what's been running through my mind today.  You're judged based on where you spend most of your time.

  1. And if I'm only on campus for class, and spend most (all) of my free time at home... What does that make me?

    1. That's a tricky one... I'd say the people that study at home are the ones not looking to date or unavailable. They're phantoms that appear every once in a while, but they're unpredictable.

  2. Madi, I think you've nailed it on the head. I can't believe I married a Talmage guy!
