REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe College of Idaho has smaller class rooms than the larger schools in this area. I came in with a lower GPA and needed a little more help and have found it here. I am going into my second year with a truly positive and excited attitude. Who would have thought I would go to college? The professors are great and genuinely seem to care.
Toni from Nampa, ID
The classes are challenging and the professors always ask thought provoking questions.
Anna from Idaho Falls, ID
I don't think I've ever been able to learn so much about so many of my favorite subjects anywhere else. College of Idaho's liberal arts style covers a huge variety of topics and how they connect to other topics. The PEAK program may seem like a hassle to some, but for those who can't limit themselves to just one subject, like me, it's perfect!
Tori from Pendleton, OR
There is not a better school out there for developing close relationships with students. The education is top of the line, given the small class sizes with professors that truly care about the students and the materials. The College of Idaho is perfect for anyone who wants to live in a personalized community full of friends and support.
Sean from Caldwell, ID
All professors are currently pursuing their own research projects. With our small classes, the professors really get to know you and are willing to help you in any way they can.
Cynthia from Boise, ID
The C of I was and is my dream College. The small community makes it easy to find help, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that just about everyone on campus is ready to jump at the chance to help out. The professors and peak system challenge me to dig deeper, question things, and make myself a well rounded individual.
Gabrielle from Parma, ID
Academically challenging and lively campus with professors who really care.
Shayna from Caldwell, ID
The PEAK program at CofI is really a great opportunity, it lets you really broaden your horizons and specialize in things that you may have never had the chance to otherwise. Having at least one major and three minors may seem overwhelming, but think about how great that will be once you're out of college.
