    I am a second year at ISU and am a junior. Each semester in college is different but the first few seem to be pretty similar all across the board. I started college in August of 2008. ISU is a great school, the teachers care and there is always something going on for the new and current students. To start, go to orientation. I met people there that I am still in contact with. Get involved; the first year of college is important to establish yourself and experience. My advice is to apply for the Honors program. There are a lot of benefits to being in the Honors program: automatic $500 housing scholarship, living in the newer and nicer dorms, smaller class sizes, etc. And to be honest, the classes aren’t harder.

    The classes I am taking challenge me but I do not find them impossible to get an A in if I put in the time that each class needs. The experts suggest that for every credit in a class you should study three times as many hours in a week. So if a class is three credits, study about nine hours a week... but that hardly ever happens. Just give each class enough time to get everything done, and done well. That is what I have done and I am a straight A student. read full review

    You definitely get what you pay for. The academics aren't bad, and they have several very good programs (Pharmacy and Music being two of the best in Idaho) I was very disappointed in room and board, though. Unless you live in Rendezvous (which is the Beverly Hills of ISU), then you're seriously wasting your money on housing. Turner and Redfield are the Compton of ISU, and were awful. The RA's were very nice though. And as for the meals....well, Turner cafeteria is definitely not five star. It was difficult being a vegetarian and eating there, because there are no veggie options besides salad. Also, they add butter to EVERYTHING! You will gain the freshman 15 if you don't use the gym regularly. read full review
