" I’m an online student so I don’t attend any classes on campus, but my experience online has been nothing but great! The courses are truly set up to help students succeed and the instructors seem to care a lot about their students. "

" I'm currently an online student at Boise State. If you're looking for an affordable, completely online degree and are located in-state, this might be a good option for you. There are a variety of resources available, though most would require being in-person to access. There isn't much professor/student interaction, so if that's important to you, you might consider other options. "

" I think Boise State is a great option for people in the state and for those who need a very specific college experience. The university is walkable but there isn't much to do there or in the surrounding downtown area. If you like hiking or spending time outdoors there are plenty of great places within 5 minutes of campus. Our football team is also pretty good. "

" As a senior who is graduating soon, I've really enjoyed my four years at Boise State. The school has a large diversity of majors and minors, as well as a bunch of certificates that look great on your transcript. The school also has a bunch of different clubs and intramurals for the students which makes campus life much more enjoyable. Most of the professors are very understanding and enjoy educating their students. "

" My situation with BSU is a bit unique, I tried attending right out of high school back in 2011 but didn't stick with it. I have now returned in 2022, transferring in with credits from my Associate Degree. I have never lived on campus, being an Idaho native who needed to save money at every turn. The campus is beautiful, and even though I am a fully online student I love going there to study and enjoy the scenery. Parking costs are pretty high, and Idaho really lacks in public transportation overall. Sometimes I have felt like just a number, especially when dealing with certain parts of the administrative staff (this was much worse in 2011 than it is now, there has been improvement). "
