I think that the staff at Idaho State are so helpful! They really do an amazing job being available to help students. I love all of my professors so far and even though some of the classes are difficult, the professors make it really easy to ask for help or clarification.

My overall experience at ISU was a good one in my first year-round. The only thing that I would say is that the dorm life isn't all that. People always say to do your first year in a dorm, don't listen to them, it sucks and sometimes you get stuck with people who don't care how loud they are. Overall though the classes were fun and I met a lot of new people as well!

My experience at ISU has been incredible. I've made so many new friends, I've learned so much new information, and have watched myself go from one level to the next. I am thoroughly enjoying my time as an ISU Bengal and I can't wait to have my kids possibly come here one day. The staff are super interactive with the students and they create and promote a safe and healthy learning environment.
