Boise State education is some of the best that you can get in the state of Idaho. With the student to teacher ratio being around 1:19, you can always find the help that you need when it comes to the academics. Every year, BSU is improving the facilities to improve the academics. The professors for the most part are extremely helpful and friendly, and care about the education that you are getting. You can always find help, whether its asking another student, attending tutor sessions, or meeting with the professors.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Being a sophomore at Boise State, if I could sum up my experience so far in one word; INCREDIBLE! The campus life at Boise State is far more than any other campus that I looked at when applying for college upon graduating high school. It seems there is constantly something going on at campus, whether its inter mural sports like football, soccer, etc or the movies in the sub on the weekends. Also, if you love football, you HAVE to attend a football game to understand what BSU football is all about. The energy is intense on game day, not only on campus, but the entire Treasure valley. Also, being located within minutes of downtown Boise, you have the Boise River for floating and fishing (which flows right through campus), you have skiing at Bogus Basin, mountain biking and hiking in the foothills, and much much more all within less than thirty minutes!! What else could a college student ask for?! The people are extremely friendly here in Boise, and it is extremely safe! The campus is gorgeous, especially in the fall, when the leaves are changing. The facilities are fantastic, and the rec center is a great place to work out and hang out with friends. Also, check out the new swimming pool!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For the price of school these days, you can't go wrong with Boise State University!! It's everything and more that a student can ask for. With everything mentioned above, can you find all of the at any other university? Chances are no. Boise State is relatively cheap when it comes to costs.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
-Get your free bus sticker. Being a Boise State student, you can get your free bus sticker which allows you to ride ValleyRide all across the valley for free! This means you don't even need a car to get around!
-Don't be afraid to attend tutoring sessions or ask for help. Being a new college student, things seem overwhelming at first and you may be weary of asking for help. Don't be. Everyone goes through it, and everyone needs help at some time. Ask for some help.
-To succeed in class; form a study group. They are powerful. Together, your minds can solve what seems to be anything. Reserve a study room in the ILC and you can have peace and quiet as your group reviews lectures, completes homework, and studies for tests.
-Carry your student ID with you at ALL times! Wherever you go, it seems like Boise State students get discounts all the time. So, just carry it with you, especially if your riding the bus :)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
-Outdoor people. For those of you who love the outdoors and activities such as mountain biking, cycling, hiking, skiing, swimming, rafting, boating, and anything else, the city of Boise and Boise State is the place for you. You have nearly all of this within half an hour, and even MORE within just one or two hours. A weekend trip to Stanley, Idaho can be one of the greatest trips of your life, check it out!
Shopper lovers. If you love shopping, Boise State is the place for you. With BODO within 5 minutes of walking distance from campus, you can check out all the new stores and restaurants such as North Face, Paradigm, Helly Hanson, Urban Outfitters, and much more. If this isn't enough for you, go ten minutes down I-184 and visit the Boise Towne Square Mall. There, Macy's, JC Penny, Hollister, American Eagle, Buckle, and much much MUCH more await you.
Art and history people. Boise is full of art and history. BAM, the Boise Art Museum, is located right across the Boise River, and features first class art that is always exciting and unique. The Idaho Museum, Old Idaho Penitentiary are some exciting features that you must check out!
