There are so many more sane and non misogynistic educational choices out there.

I've known several very smart grad students who rejected BYU simply because of their strict religious dogma and bigotry towards anyone not white, male, and christian.

BYU pays lip service to anti-discrimination trends, misogynistic reforms, and equality measures, but in reality they are just another christofascist institution perpetuating the institutional bigotry and misogyny inherent in mormanism in particular.

I've never understood why top flight minority and female athletes attend that place.
