A unique collegiate experience amid the beautiful scenery of the Mountain West

Public Suburban Bengals Scenic Mountains Nature Outdoors

For over a century, Idaho State University has been a major intellectual and cultural hub for the state and the broader Mountain West region. A gorgeous natural backdrop of forests and mountains overlooks the scenic campus, creating a stunning college environment unlike any other. ISU is noted for its nuclear training facility, one of only five such centers nationwide designated by the National Energy Institute. The university also operates a unique experimental psychology program, as well as a groundbreaking neuroscience research wing.

The ISU campus sits just a few blocks from Downtown Pocatello, and it’s fairly easy to find apartments, condos, and rental houses within easy walking distance of both the university and the city center. For weekend excursions, Salt Lake City is about 160 miles to the south, and the nearby mountain ranges are perfect for skiing and snowboarding in the winter.
