this college is expensive and hard. but the best investment is in your future :) so if you love a challenge and a small campus, this is the school for you!
Overall 4.1
The campus is off of a postcard. The minute you walk on you don't even realize that you are in Caldwell Idaho. Everyone is so familiar with one another, and its always got things going on so you'll never be bored! I hated the idea of going to a small school and was totally against the idea, but the second I got here I fell instantly in love!

I came all the way from Portland to C of I. I was looking very intentionally at many colleges and this turned out to be the best match! The best things about this college-it is the best match for all different kinds of people. The unique thing about our education is the community. Friendly people, great teachers. Who could ask for anything more!?!

If there ever was a school that relies on its past laurels, its C of I. A highly overrated college with few quality student opportunities, terrible dorms, rude teachers who favor students and swear, cliques, and entitled/wealthy students. I transferred after two years because I was going crazy, in the middle of nowhere, and I don't regret it.
