BYU-IDAHO FROM THE MAYOR

Dear Students:

Students,

Welcome to BYU-Idaho for the Fall Semester 2024! We hope your summer was filled with rejuvenating adventures and time with loved ones. We are excited for you to join us on campus, and we hope you will recognize the same distinct spirit of love and service that we have found here.

Welcome to Rexburg! As Mayor, it is my pleasure to extend a warm and enthusiastic greeting to each of you as you embark on your educational journey at BYU-Idaho this fall.

Our city thrives on the vibrant energy and diverse talents that students like you bring every year, and we’re thrilled to have you here.

The mission of BYU-Idaho is to “develop disciples of Jesus Christ who are leaders in their homes, the Church, and their communities.” At the start of this semester, we encourage you to set goals and expectations for yourself to see what you can do to accomplish this mission.

The scriptures teach that Jesus increased “in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52). As you may have done with the Children and Youth Program or as part of My Plan as a missionary, you might choose to follow the Savior’s example and set goals for physical, mental, social, and spiritual development at this pivotal point in your life.

We hope you will include goals to attend weekly devotionals; seek out mentors; utilize our free advising, tutoring, and counseling offices; participate in student activities; and actively engage in your YSA or married-student ward and stake. We also encourage you to establish a pattern of regular temple worship. It will bring you peace and strength throughout the semester and your life.

Rexburg is more than just a place to study; it’s a place to grow, explore, and make lifelong memories. Nestled in the heart of Idaho, our city offers a unique blend of smalltown charm and dynamic opportunities. From the stunning natural landscapes, perfect for outdoor adventures, to an array of cultural and community events, there’s something for everyone. We pride ourselves on being a friendly, inclusive, and safe environment where you can thrive both academically and personally.

As you settle in, I encourage you to get involved and make the most of your time here. Use our city’s app to find and attend local events and happenings. Our community is built on strong values of cooperation, respect, and mutual support. Your participation enriches our town, and in return, Rexburg offers you a welcoming home away from home.

Make the most of your BYU-Idaho experience this semester.

There is so much available here to bless your life. This special edition of Scroll can be a helpful resource for you.

Your success is important to us and we’re here to support you in any way we can. If you have questions, need assistance, or simply want to share your experiences, City Hall and the Rexburg community are always here for you.

Make your time in Rexburg a remarkable chapter in your life!

We look forward to growing as disciples of Jesus Christ along with you.

Once again, welcome to Rexburg, and best wishes for a successful and enriching semester at BYU-Idaho!

Sincerely,

Warm regards,

PRESIDENT AND SISTER MEREDITH BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY-IDAHO

Once your church membership records are moved, the Member Tools app will tell you what stake and ward you’re in, along with who the leadership is and how to contact them.

We live so close to a temple that most students can walk there! Temple appointments fill up quickly, though, so make sure to schedule on temple.churchofjesuschrist.org and show up at least 20 minutes early.

Serving others is a unique way to connect with God and the people around you.

Family Home Evening is encouraged and set up by single student wards. To find your FHE group, reach out to your Bishop or FHE coordinator in the Member Tools app.

Schedule your temple appointment

“Let me emphasize, whether you have access to a temple or not, you need a current temple recommend to stay firmly on the covenant path.”

ELDER RONALD A. RASBAND, RECOMMENDED TO THE LORD. GENERAL CONFERENCE, OCTOBER 2020

“Often, the answer to our prayer does not come while we’re on our knees but while we’re on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us. Selfless acts of service and consecration refine our spirits, remove the scales from our spiritual eyes, and open the windows of heaven. By becoming the answer to someone’s prayer, we often find the answer to our own.””

RANTING ROOMMATES Tips to avoid a semester of drama

Roommates can be a great delight and a great challenge. But almost everyone has to deal with them in college. So how can you set yourself up for success?

SET BOUNDARIES

HONOR CODE VIOLATIONS

One of the best things you can do at the very start of the semester is sit down with your roommates and have a discussion about expectations.

Even if you’re rooming with close friends or relatives, this upfront communication is critical to set yourself up for a solid semester.

You may have a roommate that does something against the honor code.

If this happens, it can be difficult to know when to mind your own business and when to report them.

If something they do affects you or causes harm to them, get help.

Use your best judgment and follow the Spirit, and if you aren’t sure what to do, talk to a trusted source for advice.

“One of the easiest ways to identify a true follower of Jesus Christ is how compassionately that person treats other people.”

PRESIDENT RUSSELL M. NELSON, PEACEMAKERS NEEDED.

“I am not talking about ‘peace at any price.’ I am talking about treating others in ways It’s more than likely that there will that are consistent with keeping the covenant you make when you come a point when a roommate fails to the live up to the set partake of the sacrament.”

RESOLVING CONFLICT

Especially once testing days Read the come around, many students are full guide exhausted, stressed and dealing with personal troubles that heighten tensions.

When this happens, it’s to lose your temper or have a mental breakdown.

NOT ALL APARTMENTS ARE CREATED EQUAL Here are some things to look for that set some apartments apart from the others:

1. Hot tubs + gyms 2. Private rooms 3. Men/women-only housing 4. Covered parking For when it gets snowy

For married students or students old enough to live outside of student housing, it’s a different playing field.

Student housing or not, the most important things to remember are to know what your personal requirements are and to do your research before signing a contract.

DAZZLING DATING PROGRESSING FROM ‘I DON’T’ TO ‘I DO’

Often, dating incites one of two emotions for freshmen: exhilaration or dread.

Regardless of which it is for you, dating is a pivotal part of the college experience, and it can be great when you understand what it’s supposed to be like.

President and Sister Meredith have pushed to change the culture of dating in Rexburg. With enormous date night events, speed dating, and portions of devotionals dedicated to discussing this topic, they want it to be clear to students that one date is not a commitment.

A “DATE” MUST PASS THE TEST OF THREE P’S

1 - PLANNED AHEAD 2 - PAID FOR 3 - PAIRED OFF

DATING DO’S

DATING DO-NOTS

Stick to your standards.

Do not let your ‘delulu’ control you. A date is not a commitment. A text is not a relationship.

Keep first dates short, sweet and cheap.

Treat your date with respect.

The Merediths once said to remember that the person you’re on a date with is someone’s future spouse, so treat them with the love and respect you would want someone to treat your spouse with.

Take ‘no’ for an answer.

If someone isn’t comfortable with something or isn’t interested, respect that boundary. This will make you a safe person to be around.

Do state when you’re uncomfortable Even if you’re not sure why.

.

Read the full guide

Do not give fake compliments or say things you don’t truly believe.

Do not be rude or critical to your date, staff, or others.

Do not be afraid to start conversations with people in the grocery store, your classes, or other public places. You never know where you might meet someone interesting.

Do not flirt to gain something.

The goal should be to make someone’s day and to make a connection, not to get their phone number or a date or a relationship.

ways to

// 15

community resources for support

Whether you’re male or female, it’s important to take safety precautions when going out with someone. Here are five safety tips when dating:

GO ANYWHERE SECLUDED WITH 1 DON’T SOMEONE YOU DON’T KNOW.

Hikes are a common date in Rexburg, but wait until you know the person really well, or you have a group to go with you.

2 KEEP FIRST DATES SHORT.

BYU student and life coach Clarise Paulson explained that she keeps first dates to 30 minutes.

A short date can help maintain the notion that a date is not a commitment. It doesn’t have to be 30 minutes but set a safety time limit.

3

TELL PEOPLE WHERE YOU’RE GOING AND WHO YOU’RE GOING WITH. Let your friends, roommates, or

family know where you’re going and who you’ll be with. If you know roughly when you’ll get back, let them know that, too.

4 5

DON’T GET RIDES FROM STRANGERS. If you

don’t have a car, try to pick a date location that you can walk to, rather than having someone you’ve never met give you a ride.

DON’T GO OUT SUPER LATE. It’s tempting as a

college student to be a part of the nightlife, but it’s always safer to be home before curfew.

Salt Lake Express runs a shuttle, making this accessible for students without a car WALMART BUS SCHEDULE

The Walmart shuttle runs every day from 10 a.m. to 9:45 p.m., and the last pickup from Walmart is at 9:15 p.m.

Each stop has a sign with a QR code to see pick-up times and to track the shuttle.

Remember that it loops back around every 45 minutes, so plan your shopping accordingly.

ON A BUDGET

With all of the mental and physical stress that comes with college, it’s critical to take care of your physical health by eating good food. But how?

THE WELLNESS CENTER The Wellness Center, located in Hart 174, can help with all things mental and physical health, including meal prep and budgeting. This is a more personalized and streamlined approach to eating well as a student.

THE CROSSROADS The Crossroads Instagram stories include daily deals, which are also posted on the wall in the eating area. Most of the food options are only available in the middle of the day for lunch; however, some are open for breakfast and Chick-Fil-A is open into the evening.

The MC also has microwaves on the first floor next to Soleil that students can use to heat up homemade meals.

MEAL PREP 101

FINDING AFFORDABLE RECIPES There are plenty of blogs and websites that offer budgetfriendly recipes for college students, including Budget Bytes.

When it comes to home-cooked meals, meal planning is your greatest ally. There are lots of online sources with great tips for meal planning. But to get you started, here are a few pro tips:

BUY IN BULK

CONTAINERS

Once or twice throughout the semester, visit stores like Costco or Winco, which offer bulk items.

This cuts down on cost in the long run, especially for items like rice, pasta and potatoes.

Have plastic containers filled with one or two servings of each meal so it’s easy to pull out on a whim.

Plus, this will allow for a more organized fridge.

PREPARE IN ADVANCE Make your food either the weekend before or the night before so you don’t have to worry about it on the day of.

CHOOSE TIME FRIENDLY OPTIONS If you’re not a huge fan of cooking, choose recipes that take less than an hour to make.

KEEP A LIST

FREEZE LEFT-OVERS

Every time you think of a meal you like or want to try, write it down. This way, you can remember to make it.

It can be tiring eating the same thing every day for a week, so instead, store a portion of the meal in the freezer to pull out in the future.

COLLEGE SUCCESS FROM TIPS

real students

Actualizing your potential can be something more than imagination.

// 21

BYU-Idaho students shared some of their tips on time and productivity.

PLANNING I like using a checklist to make sure I get everything done; it helps me feel accomplished.

That’s what works for me, and you just have to try different things and find what works best for you

NYKOLE TESTER

AVOIDING PROCRASTINATION Treat school like a 9-5 job. I get to work and do my best to stay focused.

When the end of the day comes, I then relax and try to decompress. Having balance in school and life is important.

TIME MANAGEMENT I like to put everything in my phone calendar and use my notes app to stay on top of everything.

The professors want you to succeed, but they won’t baby you … There’s a lot of accountability.

NYKOLE TESTER

I check it frequently to make sure that I don’t miss anything.

ELLAGRACE TANNER

CAMPUS RESOURCES A good thing for college students to know is that they don’t have to have it all figured out immediately. There are so many resources available to them...

We can help students with almost anything.

why

THE HONOR CODE

Since BYU-Idaho is a CES school, we are asked to strive to maintain the CES Honor Code.

For some, the code can feel daunting, restricting or interpreted to extremes. It’s not a foundation for judgment or resentment.

Ultimately, the expectations are there to help, protect and encourage us in our discipleship and grow in our role as ambassadors of Christ.
