You’re back! Or you’re here for the first time! Either way, you made it to Bronco Welcome and we’re all so happy for you. We’re excited to see what great things this semester will bring, so it’s time to get the ball rolling. Here are some ways you can get prepared, meet people, stay active, and get the most out of Bronco Welcome.
1) Stay active at the Recreation Center
Take a break from the whirlwind of moving in and come to RecFest on August 16, 3 – 5 p.m. You can play fun games, grab free food, and snag some swag. You can also join free intro to climbing classes at the climbing gym Monday – Thursday starting August 19, 2 – 8 p.m. Sign up to ensure your spot!
2) Order your class materials
It’s a good idea to order your class materials online. Of course, you can still walk in and buy what you need, but ordering ahead of time just makes things faster and easier. You can find steps for prepping for class on Boise State’s website
3) Say “Yes” to meeting new people
Make lasting memories to commemorate your first weekend of college at Bronco Night! It’s one of the biggest block parties of the year right on the Blue in Albertsons Stadium. There’ll be food trucks, games, and a DJ. Get ready to get hyped with your new friends!
4) Take care of all your to-dos
We’ve compiled a helpful list of resources of popular offices and departments you might need at the beginning of each semester. Get your stuff in order—like textbooks, Bronco Card, advising appointments, meal plans, parking, finances. Check out the Student Life website to discover more resources based on your interests.
5) Chill out with an outdoor movie night
Sometimes a quiet, cozy moment is all you need to feel refreshed and ready to take on the semester. Head to the Intramural field by the Student Union Building on August 17 from at 9 p.m. for a free movie, pizza and popcorn.
5 ½) Float the river
Before you float into the school year, you won’t want to miss the annual first week float on August 18, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. For just $25, you can get an inner tube and a shuttle ride to Barber Park to start the adventure. It’s the real Boise experience that you won’t want to miss!
