Sophomore: Boise State has given me some of the best experiences I could have hoped for at college. In high school, I was so self-focused on grades and help from peers but BSU offers so many resources that are easily available to assist me around every corner. Whether that be scholarships, which there are so many, or simply resume help. Not to mention if I'm ever bored, there is always some sort of activity going on every night. You should never be bored at this school. Food insecurity is no issue here, as there is a free food pantry for any student, as well as so many activities with free food. As someone who wasn't into going to sports games very much in college, I can readily say that I attended almost every football and basketball game at home base. They were always so much fun and so full of spirit. The students really go all out in colors and pride. Classes are great and have amazing professors. I've only had one that I struggled with during my time here. I am now a resident assistant!... Read 2,772 reviews

Sophomore: I am really impressed with the modern approach to a liberal arts education. The professors are really dedicated to helping you achieve the answer to a problem through multiple different lenses, really preparing you for the challenges of the real world. I am really impressed with The College of Idaho's education. The price, however, would be on my list of things I want to change. The college offers a lot of scholarships to help students out and the return on investment is great!... Read 466 reviews

Sophomore: I have had an excellent experience so far. I was scared to go back to school after taking a ten year break after high school graduation, but they have helped make it a smooth process, and it feels like I never even left to begin with. The staff always make themselves available when I have questions or need help with assignments, the professors are just amazing with their advice and guidance that they have given thus far. My student advisor, bless her soul, I changed my degree three times within a year and a half, but she stuck with me and still helped me to figure out which classes I needed for each degree I wanted to change to! She even stuck with me through degrees that weren't in her field (until I decided on business, which apparently that degree has to have an advisor that specifically for business). I am happy to be here at this school.... Read 734 reviews

Freshman: I really love my school! The teachers actually care about you and regularly check in on you to see if your struggling or if there is anything on our mind. My fellow classmates are all support kind and supportive! For my major, I find the homework fun and the teachers super nice! Overall, defiantly would recommend Northwest Nazarene University to anyone who is interested in joining.... Read 761 reviews
