This is the opposite of the question. I loved my time at the U. I am LDS, but grew up in Michigan. I transferred from Ricks College (now BYU Idaho). I have a similar mindset as Rick Walker. I choose the U over BYU P because I was wanted more diversity in my daily interactions. My biggest disappointment at the U was how big a divide there was between members of the LDS church and those that were not members. I would get to know people around campus but more than less if I mention something about church or serving a mission and if they were not LDS then the conversation typically would end. Or the next time I saw that person, they would ignore me.
Or in the Daily Chronicle how there would be comments tearing down the LDS church or comments about the wonderful virtues of the LDS church.
This was weird to me because in Michigan people were just friends. I had friends that were other Christian’s denominations, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish. I didn’t make a difference.
Why can’t we all just get along??
