I wonder which gets used more by students on campus doing research for school work between Wikipedia and Conservapedia.

Mixed groups of music majors and accompanists may rehearse in the GFAC [editor's note: It's like a parody of BYU!] music wing without a chaperone in a room with a window in the door (no dating couples).

So, you can date. But you are NEVER, under ANY circumstances, allowed to touch each other. No matter the venue?

Oh, here we are:

Dating

Couples with mutual social interests may go on outreach ministries together but are to follow the social regulations for mixed groups.

From the social section, I'm like "DUDE! IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS MY MISSION COMPANION SAID THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY WAS! [/Billy Mays key]

Oh, more dating:

[Someone with advanced privileges [which require recommendation by faculty members to receive]] May double-date with other students off campus to public places in the local Greenville area without a faculty/staff chaperon [sic] when all four students have advanced privileges.

Gross.

My favorite part is how they make girls drop out of school for getting married under age 21. We'd lose like half the student body if that were a rule here!

I'd say 21 is in fact the mode for BYU coeds to get married. FACTS AND FIGURES, PLEASE.

[yayfulness]

I can't cite anything, but I have heard from... someplace official-sounding, I think... that 21 is the average for girls and 23 the average for guys.

I graduated unmarried at 23, and one of my upper level Family Life classes had 8 women in it, only one of who was married and it was not the one who was under 21. Granted it was a philosophy class and a very small class (just the 8 of us), but I don't think young marriages are as common as they are thought to be. I don't think they are uncommon, but the median age for marriage in Utah is 22 for women, 24 for men (http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2 ... 1_ST_N.htm not the best source I know, but it's late and I don't have access to all my old research on the subject right now.)

It's shot up to 24.1 for women, according to most recent census data. 26 for men. I don't think BYU is either representative or home to majority Utah-raised, though.

I looked up the textbook used for BIO 100 at Bob Jones University according to their bookstore website. It looks like they use Campbell Biology, 9th ed., which is not a YEC boutique book, but a real textbook permeated by Darwinian Evolution. I can only imagine that the professor continually repeats "but we don't believe that part" whenever (practically every other page) something that wouldn't fit in with an Earth less than 10,000 years old is mentioned.

[C is for]

"1.2 The Core Theme: Evolution accounts for the unity and diversity of Earth."

(wait a second. Now I can't find that. It's the Core Theme And I Can't Find It! Oh well. It was there.)
