University of Idaho is the Flagship and best academic college in the state of Idaho. The people and professors are all very nice, the campus is breathtakingly beautiful and the town is as good as it gets. Is in a legitimate college town everyone here is young and vibrant. The food is good, downtown is awesome and has many great food spots, love it!

I love U of I. The size of the school and campus is just small enough were I have smaller classroom sizes yet big enough were I still see someone new everyday. The teachers also really care about your success! I joined a sorority and I love it! The Greek life is awesome and it's smaller so you build a nice community and lots of friendships.
Overall 4.6
It's a great school, although underrated. Above all, it has a very healthy culture that you won't find in many colleges nowadays.

I love it here, I wish I could stay forever. Greek life is a great way to get integrated into all the amazing things offered. Tons of clubs and it's such a diver place. I feel like this school is terribly underrated because the assumptions made about the type of people in Idaho, and the rural Location. Great places to eat, cute town, mountain....

If youve never visited Moscow your missing out! The campus and community is soo easy to fall inlove with. Lots of Universitys are located within a town, but i describe Moscow has a town around a University. Everyone is very supportive of the Uni and even though its a small town and there my not be always alot to do you can always find something!

I had a lot of hopes about UI coming out here from the east coast. It's near the National Parks, it's close to the Pacific! After being here two years now, I've really tried to like it, but there are a lot of basic things lacking here. I would never suggest here for undergraduate studies, and only in specific circumstances for graduate school.
Overall 1.8
The U of I is a school that focuses on the social aspect of college rather than academia itself. Professors do not find time to help their students, which shows in the class average scores on tests and quizzes. I have had several classes where the test material is nothing that was covered in lectures or in the book. Overall, upset I chose here.
