Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
I really liked the campus and how most of the buildings on campus are spread out but are still close together so that you can walk everywhere on campus, which is what i do. I am not sure what is so unique about my school, i really liked everything about the school and the minute i was on a tour of the campus i knew that this was the school for me to go to. I love attending ISU and would never choose another school to go too.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
Seriously what I wish I would have known is that ISU is really after the dollar. Advisors tell you anything you want to hear to get you to enroll and stay enrolled. Then they keep encouraging you to apply to a program, only to find out that because you don't work at a certain facility you aren't going to get into their program. Now you've spent all types of money, and that's why I'm transferring to a junior college and will get my BSN at a totally differen school.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
ISU is not small but is not too big either.. You get to meet a lot of people along the way but at the same time you it is easy to be in a small group of close friends. This school is very good academically level, all teachers are really engaged in your personal development as a person and as a professional, but that is not it. It's installations for sports are very nice and in very good state. It is located in Pocatello, Idaho, close to many places you can visit like lava hot springs, Salt lake, Idaho falls, Boise etc.

What are the academics like at your school?
There are so many classes that differ in their type of teaching. There are some classes with a big number of students (around 80) or some other classes that are about 25 students per room. However you will always be sure that no matter what the number of students is, the teacher will always be interested on helping with any question or problems you can have. They will always be available during their office hours or you can always catch them after class.
My major is nutrition and dietetics, and I am really happy with the academic level of ISU, it is a great way to start my undergraduate degree.

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?
I think that the stereotypes of students at my school is conservatives. The people that 'seem' to go to Idaho State University are usually from rural areas of surrounding states, disregarding some students of athletics and possibly academics, overall the stereotype is majority conservative. I don't think that this stereotype is accurate. I know that for one it doesn't apply to me, or many other students' that I know. I believe the overall array of students is simply just students. People who are trying to further their education and better their lives. Stereotypes should'nt play a role in students' lives. The student's reasoning for wanting a education should be all that matters.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
The most popular groups are some of the international groups like Japanese club, Nepalese club, etc. People usually lock their door rooms when they leave but in case you forget to lock it there will be no problem at all. it has happened to me and it is a really safe place so there is no chance to get stolen. Volleyball, Football and Basketball games are huge, a lot of people are involved and really like to go and support our bengals.
people usually party on weekends. But if you do not like it you can always go out with some friends and have a really nice dinner at any close restaurant from campus. I usually hang put with my teammates.

What are your classes like?
Don't get me wrong, they are challenging, but they don't stress you in into the emergency room. I have great professors and they try hard to keep the information up to date and interesting. They love the subject matter and they want to pass that on to us. The professors are always available to help you and if they aren't other professors want to know because ISU wants each student to suceed.
Sometimes students feel like they get overloaded but we have access to career counseling, personal counseling, academic advising and health services right there on campus. These people are amazing and they are there to help you.

What's the Greek scene like?
I am not part of the Greek scene at ISU. However, I wanted to compliment the female Greek scene, Alpha Xi Delta and Sigma Sigma Sigma, at ISU for a few reasons. I feel like some schools Greek organizations are all about partying and being very exclusive. From the interviews (for news articles) I've done, I feel like this group of students is very open and inclusive. They also have big hearts and always seem to be doing something charitable. They always have a philanthropy event each year.

Tell us about the sports scene on campus.
ISU is not the biggest sports school, I can not lie. However, the local support for our football team is growing greatly. I work for the sports crew at ISU (we do video work for the web-casts and big board) and I really feel like the sports scene is slowly growing. Our football team doesn't have the best record, but I like our new coach. I met him this past semester and he is just a lovable guy. Our female basketball team goes pretty far sometimes and they just have some good stuff going for them right now. I could say the same thing about our volleyball team. As far as sports that are actually just 'clubs'--check out are Rugby team, they are good!
