When I was looking for schools I was most concerned about what kind of majors they had. I'm an illustration major and I had looked all the art school but they were too expensive. Boise has the best art program in the west out side of the art schools and is much more affordable. It's kind of a comfort to know that in the university system I have room to change my mind. Since starting I've been thinking of becoming an art teacher, and because they have a wide variety of programs its easy to customize.

It is surrounded by outdoor activities. The professors really want you to take something away from their course, and stress representing BSU.
Sarah
I have found that Boise State University football team has so many fans and supporters in the Boise area. So many people love BSU.
Jenna
There is a fair amount of non-traditional students that attend BSU that adds a unique perspective to the class room environment.
Jessica
For a campus with 20k students (and growing quickly) the classes are small, the environment/atmosphere of Boise State is still small.
Allison
I consider Boise State University unique because of the atmosphere. There is a feeling of being at home and the education you receive at BSU is wonderful. People are friendly and everyone is different, but everyone compliments the others. Boise State University is a college that is set apart from others because of the students and faculty that make it a wonderful place to attend.

I choose BSU for the Business college. At the time of my decision BSU was considered one of the top business schools to attend.
Kaylee
BSU has alot to offer students as far as things to do on and off campus.
Arturo
I think that the faculty were very accesible and down to earth. We were on a first name basis with most of them and they were not ego driven.
Emily
Boise State University is very intimate. It is a big school, however majority of people commute, so if you live on campus you have a tight-nit community you can be apart of. The school offers a lot of extracurricular activities and the city of Boise is awesome. Perfect in size and has everything you need within 30 minutes, including snowboarding, skiing, water sports, hiking, biking, anything you could think of. The class sizes are great and the professors are very helpful and accessible.
Rachel
I love the football team and the wonderful blue turf. It also allowed me to stay in the state I grew up in and gave me the oppurtunities I was looking for.
Jake
Boise State is in my home town, it has a great football team, and the environment is very condusive to learning.
I decided to go to Boise State because it was close to many museums and the zoo, places I could go vist. It also has a good history program from what others have told me, better then UofI which was the other school I was looking at.
Corynn
It's in a good location near food and entertainment. It is near the river and a nice walking path. The campus isn't too big but is a good size school
Wendy
Boise State Univeristy is in the states capital and even though there is a lot of peopel it still seems to be based on a small community standards. I attend BSU through another institution, and you can feel the spirti of BSU even when not physically on campus at all times. BSU has shown interestin helping student get their degree and not just leave it to students hand to resolve on their own what they need. Instructors and class room size has been ideal so far to have the one on one with instructors to better understand material being tought.
Joseph
I did not cosider any other schools.
Amy
I do like that most everyone here is friendly.
Scott
It is very close to outdoor recreation opportunities, and it is very affordable for in state students.
John
Everybody loves the football team, with very high spirits because of the football team. Its not just unique with the school but with a population of over 100,000 people in and around the surrounding area everyone loves the football team which makes me nervous about the special treatment that the team is getting that should be available to all students.
