What are the popular events and traditions at The College of Idaho?

Homecoming is a recurring occasion for The College of Idaho's students and alumni to reconnect through campus activities and athletics. Commencement is another established annual gathering, centered on degree completion rather than a general campus festival.

Throughout the academic year, theater productions, music performances, and athletic events provide additional reasons for students to gather. These events vary by season and are not interchangeable with a guaranteed annual tradition: a prospective student interested in performing or attending should consult the current arts and events calendars. The college's history under both its present and former names also gives alumni gatherings a connection to different eras of the same institution.

What are the student housing and dining options at The College of Idaho?

The College of Idaho offers college-operated, coeducational undergraduate housing and on-campus dining. Housing is an available part of the college experience, but availability alone does not establish that a room is guaranteed to every applicant.

Students should review current residence-hall and any apartment-style options, eligibility rules, move-in dates, and the housing application before accepting an offer. Meal-plan requirements may depend on where a student lives, so a commuter and a resident should not assume they face the same dining commitment. Residence-hall internet access is reported. Students considering off-campus housing should compare lease length, transportation, utilities, and food costs with the college's residential options rather than comparing rent with room charges alone.
