One of my favorite traditions on campus is just being at the football games and singing the song as soon as like they score a touchdown or anything like that. It is so fun to just all be in the stadium and singing together in the student section as well as with alumni and it's just one of my favorite things to do every single fall is to go to football games and sing that song and just feel the the school pride that we have here at BYU.

One campus tradition that I participate in every single semester quite frequently is actually visiting the Tree of Wisdom before every single exam to hope that I get a little bit of a better grade on it.

One of my favorite campus traditions was Lighting the Y, the week of homecoming. I only got to do it one year, but it was a great experience and I really enjoyed it. It was awesome to just go up with all the other participants and it was just a really fun, fun experience. I went by myself, but I know a lot of people went with friends. I would highly recommend it.

During homecoming week, BYU does this thing, it's like called true blue foam. They do this giant slide down this hill and just cover it in huge amounts of like blue foamy bubbles. It's super fun. You feel kind of like weird at first, like am I really about to just like slide down this hill and like into a pile of bubbles? You're like, oh my gosh, like am I too cool for that? No, you're not. Grab a bunch of friends, have a good time, wear clothes that you don't care if they get stained because you will come out looking like the blue man group. So, but definitely go. It's a unique experience that you can only have at BYU.

One of my favorite campus traditions is hiking the Y. Just make sure that you have on really good hiking shoes, bring some water, and be prepared to really hike. I was not prepared when I went the first time, and it was a little bit harder than I expected. But super fun. We went as a family home evening group for my first time hiking the Y. But make sure you do it at least once while you're at BYU because it's one of those things that you just want to say that you've done, that you've hiked the Y.
Video 7 Transcript
We just hiked the Y. Super fun, really steep, but we got some glow sticks up here. This is what it looks like. It's beautiful. Highly recommend. It's a great campus tradition.

BYU has a really good football culture, kind of, most of the time. It's so fun to go to games, it's the best thing at BYU, hands down.
Video 9 Transcript
One of the best campus traditions is going to the football games and seeing what Cosmo will do for his Cosmo trick of the week. It's always great to see that he can up his game every single time.
Video 10 Transcript
A fairly new campus tradition that will hopefully be back after social distancing is the tailgating put on by the university before football games. They get bands, so live music, food trucks, vendors, and it's a lot of fun like two hours before a football game.
Video 11 Transcript
A lot of fun things. They're like hiking White Mountain. There's so many activities that the school provides, and the majority of them are free. So love doing all those types of things. And the devotionals were an incredible break during the day. So if you take advantage of those, you can make them social, go with friends, or just make friends there. But get involved. Don't just stay by yourself. Do the fun things that you'll see there. And they change all the time, but do take advantage of that.
Video 12 Transcript
The Rock, which is the BYU student section, and I love being part of The Rock because it doesn't matter if it's football or basketball or volleyball, no matter what sport you want to go to, there's always going to be a big showing from all the students, and it's always super loud, it's super crazy, and it's super fun, and it really changes the environment of just being a college student. It really brings the college student vibes, I guess you could say. It really adds to your college experience and helps you feel more included and just enjoying what college life is all about.
Video 13 Transcript
The only tradition I can really think of was to walk up to the Y. Even though I never did it, I did climb that mountain, just never got to the Y. The other tradition is we slept out for tickets, whether it was for basketball or football. When I went there, Jim McMahon and Steve Young were the quarterbacks, and Danny Ainge and a few of the others were on the basketball team, so it was a blast sleeping out and getting tickets and going to all those games. Hopefully they'll do good this year in 2021.
Video 14 Transcript
One campus tradition that I love is called tunnel singing. So near the Marriott Center there is this large tunnel and on Sunday nights I think around 9 or 10 p.m. they start singing hymns for about an hour. That's an awesome tradition on campus.
Video 15 Transcript
I think one of the biggest traditions is you go to a football game and you got to get a cougar tail. Those are absolutely, you have to. If you've only ever been to, if this is your first football game, you have to get a cougar tail. You have to try it. That is, it's absolutely a tradition. You need to do it. It's the best.
Video 16 Transcript
One of my favorite campus traditions actually isn't on campus but it's to hike the Y. I really love that hike even though it's pretty steep and it's kind of in the sun. I love being able to do it when they light up the Y every fall. It's such a wonderful thing to be able to go with everyone and to hike up there and to sit and see the sunset and just to be able to feel united to your, you know, connected with your university and being able to enjoy nature and kind of being that high on a mountain and to think that you were able to do that. And then afterwards you can go to the creamery and get ice cream and it's one of my favorite campus traditions and I'm really glad that they do it each year.
Video 17 Transcript
I definitely think that the rock section at the BYU football games is one of the best BYU campus traditions. It's fun to just get together with a bunch of people and to just party at all the sporting events.
Video 18 Transcript
My favorite campus tradition is everything that has to do with the rock at the football games. It's so much fun and everybody has a lot of routines that they do at certain times throughout the game and it's just a really, really good way to get everybody involved and everyone excited about BYU football.
Video 19 Transcript
I've never done it before, but I know that BYU does tunnel singing, I think, so if you're into that, that might be cool.
Video 20 Transcript
One of my favorite campus traditions is Sunday night tunnel singing. Take a hymnal and go to the tunnel right outside the Marriott Center and sing hymns. It's a great time.
Video 21 Transcript
It's hard to think of going to school at BYU without hiking to the Y at least once. It's not a big hike. Anyone can do it and I think it's just kind of a cool thing that the Y is right there and you can hike up to it. That's one tradition I would definitely say get involved in. The second thing would be attend football games and basketball games and while there you got to have a cougar tail. They're famous. You even hear them talk about it once in a while on the TV when you watch BYU on TV. So get to a sports game and enjoy a cougar tail. One of the other traditions I really like at BYU that you only get to do it when you're done and that's when they you walk across the the bridge over to the Marriott Center at graduation. I remember seeing the graduates line up and waited anxiously for my turn.
Video 22 Transcript
One of my favorite campus traditions is the true blue foam slide that they do. Usually like during the first couple weeks of school, it's kind of a back to school event and they take a bunch of blue foamy soap bubbles and they put it on this giant slip and slide on the Heelman field and you just get to slide down through the soapy foam. You want to wear clothes that you can get wet and that you don't really care about because they get covered in blue soap that doesn't always come out and probably wear goggles if you have some just so you don't get soap in your eyes. Yeah, super fun tradition to do with friends though.
Video 23 Transcript
There's a cool BYU tradition for different languages and you sing hymns Sunday nights In whatever mission language that you had and it's over by the bell tower And it's really cool because I would go do the Spanish one with my cousins I don't even speak Spanish, but they would do English and Spanish And Sunday nights we'd all just get together with a whole bunch of random people and we just circle up Like a big crowd and we would just sing hymns and it was so spiritual and so powerful So if you ever need a spiritual pick-me-up Sunday nights by the bell tower, they're gonna be singing hymns
Video 24 Transcript
Okay, my favorite campus tradition is when people camp out before the games and it like gets you hyped like a whole night before and it's so fun and I didn't once. It was freezing but it was good.
Video 25 Transcript
The best campus tradition is ordering the Michael Black special at the Taco Bell in the Cougar Eat. I won't even tell you what it is, you just gotta go try it. They'll know what you're talking about. It's crazy, it was some order from this guy who went to BYU like 25 years ago, but it just is a tradition and it's permeated. Go try it out, it's really good.
Video 26 Transcript
My favorite campus tradition at BYU, there is a devotional every Tuesday with either a professor or a general authority or some other important figure. I think that is the coolest part about BYU because every week you can learn from someone different and hear what God has inspired them to share.
Video 27 Transcript
One of my favorite traditions on campus is during homecoming week and that's lighting the Y. So just going up and hiking the Y with like so many other people and then just getting to sit up there and then like lighting it up to kick off homecoming week. It is just one of my favorite things. I think it's so fun and just like really like captures the school spirit.
Video 28 Transcript
My favorite BYU tradition is just the Rock in general. I am a huge sports fan. I love BYU sports and as a student I have camped out, I have waited in lines all day just so I can be right there front and center with the Rock and it is a blast to cheer, to be under that giant flag that they hold up and like jump and down and sing the fight song and I absolutely love it. So definitely getting a Rock Pass is a great way to be a part of awesome campus traditions.
Video 29 Transcript
I would say the best campus tradition are the football games. Even if you're not a football person, I still recommend going to them, getting a rock pass. It's super fun and even if you're not interested in football at all, it's a great way to make friends and the rock is the best student section, I would say, in the United States. So get a rock pass.
Video 30 Transcript
One of my favorite campus traditions is also the the true blue foam slide, where they go out to Helaman Fields and just make this huge slip and slide of blue foam. I remember my friends and I were able to go and, you know, you wait in this huge long line that weaves up and down the field, and when you finally get up there you'll just go running and slide and try to get as blue as you can, and it was super fun. I remember my towel and clothes were stained blue for a few days after that, a few times after I washed them, but super fun just to be able to go and and enjoy something with your entire class, and have a blessed.
