Having almost completed my freshman year here:

Pros:

  • Faculty are helpful and friendly. Almost always willing to negotiate office hours and talk through e-mail correspondence.
  • Campus is beautiful.
  • Good technology integration and support.
  • Lots of money flowing in from local companies and sports. Departments are frequently upgraded.
  • Programs are constantly undergoing change.
  • Low in-state tuition.

    • Cons:

  • Quality of a class is dependent on the teacher you get. There is some quality control on the teachers, but it's minimal.
  • Math department is below average. Tutoring is available, but there are just too many kids to teach them well.
  • Noticeable religious influence. Two different bible study buildings, the occasional ranting pastor in the quad, and a sizable part of the student population is excessively religious.
  • Classes are just too big. English 101/102, Chem 111, Math 147… really any of the intro. classes. They often have 12 or more sections of 30+ students. In the case of Chem, you are stuck in a lecture hall with 200 students.

    • Summary:

    If you live in Meridian, Boise, Nampa, or Caldwell this is an excellent choice. Although the education isn't outstanding, it isn't terrible either. Also, it's reasonably priced.

    If you live out-of-state, I wouldn't recommend BSU. There are other, higher quality universities that you can pay roughly the same for.
