Why I Chose Boise State

Gina Ceccarelli

 

“I chose Boise State because it was close to home, affordable with scholarships and
in-state tuition, and has literally everything to offer to a student. I was able to easily adjust, commute from home, and take classes that flowed well with my job. Maximizing your college experience should not have to break the bank… and that is what I have learned about Boise State!”

Sociology and Ethnic Studies

Jenny Cummins

 

“I chose this major because of the flexibility with the things I can learn, due to this major being built on certifications. I am able to take different classes to fulfill different needs. Once I graduate I want to use the leadership, communication, and technological skills I have gained from my degree to get into med school to start my journey on becoming a doctor!”
