This state school in Idaho is relaxingly simple. The town of Boise doesn't have much going on and the school isn't passionate about any one thing. Most students go to BSU because it's close to home and offers an affordable education. Everyone rallies for football games, attends an occasional party, studies for finals, and just hangs out with their friends. While there isn't anything distinctive about it, there is a calming familiarity about a school that is basically what you'd expect college to be.
