What is the Campus Clothing Closet?
The Campus Clothing Closet is open for all currently enrolled Boise State University students to access good quality, sustainable and affirming clothing at no cost.
Finding clothing to fit a variety of body sizes, personal styles and expressions, weather conditions and more can be arduous and cost-prohibitive. The Campus Clothing Closet seeks to bridge that gap while also keeping gently used clothing out of the landfill.
About the Campus Clothing Closet
Shop
Schedule an appointment to visit the Closet and pick out what suits you. Appointments are 45 minutes long and you can visit as many times as you want, selecting up to 10 items per semester. If you find you need additional items, please request to speak with our Social Worker, Adriane Bang. The Campus Clothing Closet is wheelchair accessible and a high reach garment hook is available. Please let us know if you may need additional accommodations.
