'They should let you be able to do more intramural. I didn't get to sign up in time for flag football, so they should have more flag football teams.'

'I would like an open dialogue for different ideas. I feel like there is a feeling that because we are all members of the Church that we should agree on everything and if you disagree politically that that's bad or something, but I think that a good discussion is good.'

'I would love it if BYU had a physician assistant program. And I don't know about a spring break, but I would like a day in spring to have fun and have to ourselves.'

'I would change the policy about bikes and other alternative forms of transportation on campus between classes, because it would speed things up. I am typically rushing from one side of campus to the other, and being allowed to ride a bike or scooter between classes would speed things up.'

'I hate first-come, first-serve at sporting events. I remember when it wasn't like that. Basketball I am ok with, but football just eats me alive. They moved our section to worse seats. I wish it was back to good seats and not just first-come, first-serve, because I don't want to camp out all Saturday just to go to a football game.'
