Let us roll out the blue carpet for you! We can’t wait to show you around our beautiful campus.
Deciding where to go to college can be overwhelming! We know first-hand how important a campus visit can be when choosing your home for the next four years. With your safety in mind, we have created an in-person campus visit experience for you to physically explore campus while engaging with a current Boise State student.
Join us for a one hour walking tour of campus. Since current students, staff, and faculty will be inside our buildings, the entirety of your tour will be conducted outside. Your tour guide will detail life as a Bronco. From popular study spaces, to residence halls, to involvement opportunities and beyond, you will get an inside look at the Boise State vibe.
Monday – Friday
*Tours will be limited to 10 total participants. Each student can bring a maximum of two guests. We ask that you please sign up for your tour time at least one week in advance.
