The College of Southern Idaho is very inexpensive to begin with for a college.

The College of Southern Idaho is primarily for those who have never had any college experience and for those who are working on obtaining their associates degrees or are wanting to learn a trade such as welding, aquaculture, auto-mechanics, and manufacturing.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a giant bell tower in the middle of campus, as well as a rose garden in the center, and the Harriet Museum with it's planetarium shows and observatory! That's really cool. As well as every year they hold a Great Pumpkin 5K Run and build a corn maze!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The College of Southern Idaho is great for anyone who is wanting to apply to any Idaho four year universities as the College of Southern Idaho designs their Associate programs to make a smooth transition into one of those Idaho four year universities. But they have been, as they have with me, more than willing to help adjust some of the requirements to assist you into getting into the University of your Choice.
The College of Southern Idaho is also great school for anyone who is wanting to go into law enforcement and nursing programs or obtain their associates degree in Engineering (any discipline), Music or any of the other fine arts, English, Biology, and any other field. They also are greatly known for their trade school programs such as welding, aquaculture, auto-mechanics, and manufacturing.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The clubs and actives on campus are so much fun! From gaming with the Social Geeks, to attending a baseball or basketball game, to riding Rodeo, to the colleges' large ropes course, to attending the latest movie release with friends, there is always something to do. They have activities every month that range from hikes and kayaking to skiing and snowboarding. With all the plays and productions going on as well in the Fine Arts building on top of that there is always something to do.
As for the clubs there is a club for everyone. From the long-boarding club. to the Agricultural club there is a club to join. Recently I helped design and build a trebuchet to launch pumpkins with the STEM club! There is so much you can do!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Due to the fact that the College of Southern Idaho is a community college, there really isn't much of a Greek life here in any respect.
