Fun, Interesting, and Useful BYU Websites

Who knew BYU had such a variety of websites? This lists shows us what's good about the Internet:
  • https://map.byu.edu/. This interactive BYU campus map allows you to click on a building to see pictures of it and read about the building's history and current use. The map also shows 360 degree photos—virtual tours—at twelve different locations.
  • https://100hourboard.org/. This quirky and often funny site permits readers to submit any question, and a team of “small band of omniscient know-it-alls (students)” will respond within 100 hours. Just about anything goes. For example, “What can I do with a pound of powdered sugar?”
  • https://foreverfamilies.byu.edu/. From the website: “Forever Families provides practical, scholarly and sacred information for strengthening individuals, marriages and families of all faiths, organized around themes of The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” The site offers articles and scholarly reports on many family-related topics.
  • https://provo.mtc.byu.edu/. The Missionary Training Center in Provo has its own website. Who knew?
  • https://familyhistory.byu.edu/. Take advantage of the great family history training resources offered here including online lessons from Religion 261: Introduction to Family History.
  • https://is.byu.edu/catalog/free-courses. BYU Independent Study offers a long list of free web-based courses from Family History to Music to Religion.

Should I be jealous that I never got to attend BYU and live the BYU lifestyle? :'

Great list - there are a few on here that I either didn't know about or had forgotten about. I also recommend personalfinance.byu.edu as a useful site - it has some great lessons about personal finance.
