Boise State University Top Questions

Its not a traditional four-year school. We care too much about our football team

Too much focus on football rather than athletics.

Money towards football.

Tuition costs riase every as does the cost of living and there seems to be less fin. aide available each year.

limited parking space and parking costs

Getting the classes you need when you need to take them is the most frustrating thing. The classes fill up quite fast and the enrollment goes by senority.

The parking situation is the most frustrating thing about the school. Because the enrollment is increasing at such a huge pace, and many students are only part-time, parking spaces tend to be at a premium some times, especially when there are special events on campus at the same time that there are classes.

There isn't a Masters in Science Education.

To much money is funneled towards the football program here.

I feel that coming from a very small school (Albertson/ College of Idaho) it was a very big adjustment. I am paying for every drop of my college and everything that I have to do to get there and live through it. It has been a very big change in my life when you feel like a number.

BSU continually claims there is not enough funding for programs and yet they recently put in a new stadium for the football team. They give far to much preferential treatment to the football program. In fact, there have been times where I was threatened that if I didn't have my car off the parking lot by noon, which coincidentally was in the middle of a class period, it would be towed because they needed the parking lot for football ticket holders and tailgaters. It is no secret that while academics are important they take a back seat to sports.

The construction going on is taking forever because it seems most attention went into building onto the football stadium.

How big it is. Walking from one side of campus to the other in 10 minutes so you're not late. Parking on campus is very limited.

nothing

There is not any room to switch up your classes. You have to take what you can when you can. If something else comes up and you need to switch your schedule, you wont have much luck.
