SPOTLIGHT
There's these vast grassy lawns that are all green and I was like, ‘oh this is so beautiful!’ I wanted to be in a place that actually had seasons. Boise valley has that and for all of those reasons, I was like, ‘this seems like a good fit.’ Small school, really connected with your professors, not just a number.
