Idaho State University has an amazing student-driven community! It seems as if everyone takes an interest in each others lives, including professors and resident assistants. And if that isn't enough, there are some dorms located on campus that are small enough that everyone who is a resident feels like part of a family.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The professors are willing to take time to help each individual student with any questions or problems. The aides for the professors are always available, willing to help and know what they are doing as well. Also, if there are any issues with reaching deadlines due to any problems, there is always some leniency and willingness to work around the problems.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The difficulty of Idaho State University is exactly what is expected. It is all dependent on the student and their match with a course and their motivation. There are obviously some classes that are not simple but if the student puts the time and effort in, they should pass with minimal stress.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is the best life. I have absolutely no problem with living on campus. I am closer to the activities and dining halls, and most importantly, the classes. Being located by classes means that I don't have to wake up too early or drive in bad weather to attend my classes. It might be more expensive to live on campus but I save on gas and time. There are ups and downs (like all the rules and regulations) but it is fine in the end.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I love all the food on campus! Turner has amazing food and beverages along with helpful service and a nice atmosphere. Rendezvous also has many places to catch a bite to eat located within. The convenience store and grill happen to be my two favorite places in Rendezvous.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are so many things to do! First of all, there is the movie theater that is free to students that shows 3 movies each week. The Student Union Building also has many things, including: arcade, bowling alley, pool tables, ping pong and a book store. Each hall has pianos and game tables like pool, air hockey and ping pong. Each dorm hall also has a television room with a big screen where students can hang out.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
What it all gets down to is the education and degrees. If the student puts the time in, they can learn a lot and earn a degree in a reasonable amount of time. It isn't very expensive for tuition compared to other places and you get an excellent degree out of it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There are two unusual locations that always stick out to me. The first one is the pillars located on top of the mountain. They are a nice quiet place to go and relax and have some quiet time. Another is a little garden kind of hidden away by Rendezvous. Both of the places are quiet and relaxing and there is never anyone there.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are many clubs on campus but two that stuck out to me were the anime and fencing clubs which are both great. For activities, there are always things to do like giant water slides, games on ice or including ice, and games inside that are really creative and different.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus Safety is always around and does their best to help out with any problems and disturbances. I have respect for them and they are always kind and helpful. Whether it is car troubles, a stranger or just something someone doesn't like, they will do their best to help out.
