REQUEST INFORMATION
At The College of Idaho, “seize the day” isn’t just an expression — it’s how we live life. We jump feet first, enthusiastically and authentically, into everything we care about, pursue or want to explore. We see theater as an opportunity for social commentary, we fervently debate scientific theories and new technologies in the quad or over lunch, and in clubs and organizations, we think about all the ways we can enrich our campus and beyond. And that’s before we plan an impromptu hiking trip, head into the world to grow a global perspective or step onto the court to capture another NAIA Championship title.
As Yotes, we’re creative, original, dedicated and relentless. We know no one is like us, and that’s what draws us all together. And across our close-knit family, we empower each other, showing up to cheer athletic pursuits, applaud concerts and amplify each other’s endeavors. Why not join us and become a part of something great?
Our close-knit family welcomes you to forge lifelong bonds and grow as a leader — from freshman living communities to bonfires on the quad, food and cultural festivals, and more opportunities to find your home away from home.
Where You'll Live
Becoming a citizen of the world means experiencing it firsthand. These customized, faculty-led trips explore a region’s history, languages, cultures, ecology and architecture, plus all of its peaks and underwater depths.

Outdoor ProgramDefining your interests and knowing what you’re good at starts with going outside your comfort zone. And no matter where we come from or where we plan to go, Yotes know a little exhilaration goes a long way toward building lasting memories and connections.

The best experiences I’ve had as a Yote are tied to our family-like culture. When our whole basketball team decided to help out on campus clean-up day, I was very shocked to see our presidents, who looked like they had been out cleaning for a couple of hours. That’s when I know that this place was different. It starts with our leadership! They will do anything to make sure you have the best experience possible at CofI, even if it’s picking weeds.

What I’ve come to appreciate the most is the diverse atmosphere present at the College.

I was able to immerse myself in my studies and campus involvement, while also pursuing excellence above all.
B.A in Business Administration and International Political Economy with minors in Communication and Environmental Studies.
As a college, our “Yote” culture is part of our identity early on in our undergraduate career, building experiences that I take with me for the rest of my life. More specifically, my journey as a member, leader and captain of the Yote football program has provided me with lifelong friendships and the opportunity to pursue my dreams of playing professional football following graduation.
