​“What is discipleship? It is primarily obedience to the Savior. Discipleship includes many things. It is chastity. It is tithing. It is family home evening. It is keeping all the commandments. It is forsaking anything that is not good for us” - President James E. Faust. Check this website for more informaiton aobut Student Living here at BYU-Idaho
