Going to BYU has been the worst decision of my life.

This is a classic example of the bandwagon fallacy.<br /><br />Your argument, "this kind of idea should be saved for the U of U," is irrelevant, in poor taste, and frankly, insulting to BYU as an institution of higher learning.

With all the other school options there are, why would you want to attend BYU?<br /><br />As for your two modest suggestions, do you really think a Church School is going to let you promote ideas that are contrary to their beliefs?
