Reviews of Idaho State University (University)

Cody Hurst

I took online courses and got a degree. I graduated over a year ago and still haven't gotten a job so.. kind of a waste. It's more in who you know and not what you know. Did I learn stuff? Absolutely! Did I make any friends? Not so much with being an online student. Wish I would have met people at the campus because I think that's how you get a job.

I started out my college carerr at ISU and transferred to the University of Idaho after two years. I did not feel that the science courses were very high quality as a lot of the introductory courses are very large, and some are even taught by graduate students, which is typical of public universities. The foreign language department classes and professors were pretty good. However, I don't think that professors get treated very well by universities' administration. If you want a better experience, I recommend applying to the Honor's program. I now am in dental school at a prestigious Ivy League School, so if you work hard at any of Idaho's state schools, you can take your education anywhere.

Its a fun place to be if you capitalize on all the fub opportunities it has to offer nice facilities and pretty understanding staff

keith mcintyre

Yep, some of the reviewers are saying the right thing about ISU.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE FINANCIAL AID DEPARTMENT. Transferring my FAFSA over to this University was the biggest pain I've ever had to deal with. Me and my colleagues have had to fill out a different form every week for months and still haven't been rewarded money. University of Idaho didn't ask for half of the papers ISU needs. And when we finally find help for "required" paperwork, they send it back and more problems arise. I can't wait transfer back to the University of Idaho. DONT GIVE THIS UNIVERSITY ALL OF YOUR MONEY, THERE ARE MUCH BETTER OPTIONS IN IDAHO!

Idiot teachers. No rights. Corrupt. Abusive. Small town run by Mormons. How would you think it would be?

Many aspects of ISU are 5 star. Academic advising seems to be the area in greatest need of improvement. 2 star for advising. Great campus, many opportunities.

I really liked the facility and students and ISU offers the programs that I intend to go into I can't wait to go this fall

Emily Roseborough

I had such an amazing four years at ISU. I stayed in the dorms my first year and those experiences are indispensable. I worked for ISU for 3.5 years and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Being involved in student government, clubs, and just in student life in general makes the experience even better.

I grew up in Pocatello for 31years and I worked in the College of Education for 10-1/2 Years and I just loved it a lot. It was my dream job I ever had. I really loved all the staff and the professor's I new and I miss them all very much and also the Dean at the time.

These people are criminals. They are only after your money. I came from a private school that when I dropped out never asked for a cent. These people, however, charged me up the wahzoo for being an out-of-state student (whatever fair I wasn't in Idaho for a year yet). I find out in the middle of my first semester that I can get a tuition waiver, so I waddle my 8 months pregnant butt down to financial aid and find out what I can do to get that. First, they tell me the ONLY way to be considered an in state student is to work a full time for a year. Come to find out, that's not even true. Anyways, I get the waiver for next year. Well come April, I have my baby boy who has a cystic lung. He requires major surgery at 4 months old to remove that part of his lung. I try to schedule the surgery before school starts, but the surgeon only has certain times available. I have to schedule it when school starts. I'm now behind. Plus, I have my infant son who just had major surgery and I've been in the hospital for days. My husband is also gone for work a lot, so I have this brand new baby who is very sick, a house, a car, myself, and school to all manage. It's too much, so I decide to drop down. I email all my professors and advisor. Turns out I can't because the waiver has a credit requirement. So I have to drop out because I can try afford the extra charges. Well fast forward to Dec (that was Aug) I get a letter saying I owe 7000 to the university for dropping out. I get ready to call them and bam new letter saying if I don't pay it by Jan then it's going to collections. This is the first I've Heard about it. I call the University and I have to petition them in order to get it refunded. It is now in the middle of January. I have finally found out that they have only refunded a portion of that money. So I am responsible for about $2000 still. They also have suspended my financial aid meaning that I have to do another petition and order to even get financially and write an essay about how I can be more successful this time around. It is just 100% the most ridiculous and corrupt University I have ever dealt with. The headaches never end.

Best bang for your buck. Idaho State University is far less costly than other universities or colleges, even ones near by. They will give you a diploma so, you get what you pay for.

Michael Bennett

Love it!!!!!Im in first year of undergraduate and already an officer of NAU club and have a paid internship great school!!

I had the privilege to investigate with our team Paranormal Discoveries. We've been to many locations and a few of those locations we investigated multiple times. But, the Normal School was a location that haven't disappointed from the time we walked in to the one building. Just an example....we had set up our equipment and the three of us were ready to investigate. We were double checking our Dvr cams on the monitor and made sure all cams were recording. And while all cams were recording our team founder Lauren was with Co founder & Tyree looking at the monitor, as I was directly to they're immediate right two feet away. As Lauren is asking us where we should go first? A huge black darker than Black mass, that was apparently in the same room as us, shot across my full spectrum from my right to left out of the room and passed the still night vision in the hallway and up the stairs. The Dvr cam caught it as well. Lauren had seen it on the Dvr monitor as well. It was unexplainable, but couldn't debunk it as well. It was in the basement Hall room. All windows were boarded up and no light whatsoever was in the room. Besides there was a blizzard that night and we were the only ppl on the property. This never happens that quickly. But, whatever this blacker than black mass was intelligent, as it answered Lauren's question where to start our investigation. I have to say it was a hair raising experience no doubt. That was just one part of evidence that we had captured during our time there. It was probably the most active place we have been to, well mine for sure. I definitely would go back in a heartbeat as I'm sure as our whole team would. Gary.....Paranormal Discoveries!

ISU rocks.. Go Bengals :)

Very happy with the education I received from ISU. It has its issues (ie: President Vailas) but no matter where you go you will find issues.

Tanner Hernandez

A wonderful place to learn and live. A shiny spot in Idaho.

Khalid Wardak

Very nice university

Shane E

We took a tour and the tour was well done and very helpful. It gave a good impression that felt authentic and fair. The cost seems low compared to other universities and off campus housing options seem great. Our advisor Ashley was outstanding. Go Bengals!

Rob Heidemann

This is such a great school. An amazing online program and incredible faculty.

Sammy Henderson

They did absolutely nothing to help the students whose on campus apartments burned down. They lost all their belongs, including laptops, and the school has done nothing. It's sad that these students spend thousands of dollars every year here, and the school could care less about them. It makes you question their policy and morals. It's just sad...

Ivan Dario Bula Villarreal

Great university

Jarom Luker

ISU isn't so bad. You also won't "see" guns on campus, as one reviewer has suggested. Idaho did legalize concealed weapons on campus for properly licensed carriers...

Adam Bliven

Continuing Education and workforce Training ! Great Variety and Instructor's are top notch .

Vincent Kommers

Idaho State University is a university with lots of possible degrees. As a state university, the tuition is low, and this makes Idaho state university a university to go to for in-state students. This is also why there are a lot of Idaho students on the university. On the other hand, many internationals come each year, which gives a wider variety of people. The service and classes are good, and the core classes are clearly thaught. When I have my degree from this university I will be able to say more about the academicstandards of this university particularly in the workfield. This university is definately enjoyable to study at!

Brian W

This place is terrible, I am embarrassed of Pocatello :( My tuition was wasted on hiring unethical people.You have nothing to learn from this place, go elsewhere if you are looking for higher education. ****** Join the alumni boycott, withhold your donations until changes are made. Help make changes!

Kim Drake

I graduated from ISU 30 years ago from the business school and was a transplant to the area from So. Cal. Many of the textbooks we used were the same used in ivy league schools like Harvard, so it came down to the professors. Some were great and others just okay, probably like anywhere else. In the end, college is what you make of it, no matter where you go. I enjoyed ISU and the area and chose to settle here and raise my kids, they turned out awesome! I have a really good job at the INL and will retire in Pocatello to live out my days. I love the outdoors here, the people, the low cost of living and not waiting in line! Go Bengals!

AJ DeCato

I received my undergraduate and masters degree from ISU so I can't complain at all. Had a good experience and got a solid education without any significant debt.

Rochell Johns

I loved getting my undergraduate degree here. I recommend the Idaho State University psychology program.
