BENGAL LIFE
When students come to Idaho State, they’re stepping into Bengal country. There’s spirit here — it’s a place filled with pride, tradition, and legacy. Living on campus offers students distinct advantages and puts them in the middle of all the action as they work, learn, and socialize. And off-campus, they experience freedom unlike any other place in the country.
Idaho State University is a place where life, relationships, and community collide in beautiful ways.
Perks to Living on Campus
Campus life gives you plenty of opportunities to get connected. And with student housing that is close to everything, 24-hour on-call staff, and free laundry in every building, you’ll feel right at home.

Sitting at 4,462 ft, Pocatello is steps away from world-class outdoor adventure, including 1,000+ miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.
