Four years at Boise State
Boise State has stuff to work on, but that's normal for a university. I've been at BSU for 4 years now and there have been many changes throughout these years. Overall I have loved my time at Boise State University as a student.
Affordable option
I've been here for a couple years now, visited other schools, but I do enjoy it here. It is a relatively affordable school compared to a lot of other universities out of state but really you get the same level of education for the most part. The staff do genuinely care about student wellbeing.
Life at Botho University
At first it was a dream being accepted into the school. It was a moment i have been dreaming of for years. My first semester at the school was perfect. The students were nice, the lectures were awesome and everything was going well. Until rumors started that the school was not operating legally. There started being chaos at the school, the students would fight and destroy buildings but rightfully so. But after sometime it turned out it was a misunderstanding. Things slowly went back to normal. The school was amazing again.
