[edit] BYU

FYI, it's customary to add comments to the bottom of User's talk pages. It took me a minute to find yours.

While the lack of any fraternities and sororities is one of BYU's unique features, the highly religious/LDS nature of the college covers some of this ground. Moreover, this is not necessarily something more unique to BYU than its extraordinary rate of bilingualism, the fact that it hosts the national Welsh library and the largest Welsh program in the country, the fact that it has its own 5-star restaurant, the fact that it requires essentially an entire semester-worth of religion credits, or that it has the largest and longest-running foreign film program in the nation. These are only a few of the unique and significant things about BYU, none of which show up in the first paragraph. And there's really no need for them to.

Regarding Spring break, I really don't see that as all that phenomenal—BYU's Winter semester ends significantly earlier than that of most universities. It may be better to think that BYU has a Spring break, but it is given at the end of the semester, rather than in the middle.

Regarding what should be in the header, while I appreciate the connection to religious life at BYU, that is certainly not what educational articles should focus on. Headers should focus on the nature and mission of the university, not the social experience of the students. It's not that those things aren't important to the students, they just aren't what define the university, which is what the article is supposed to do. To me it would seem odd that 1/3 of the most important things about the university relate to what happens when they are not at school. That is probably mis-guided, if not mis-leading. --NThurston 13:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
