Idaho

With the paradoxical backdrop of deserts and raging rivers, lush green pinewoods and Rocky Mountain canyons, Idaho colleges and universities offer a unique education experience for individuals with a variety of preferences. Students can tour the Shoshone Ice Caves, said to be haunted by the Indian Princess Edahow who was buried in the ice. And, of course, there's the Idaho Potato Museum, an educational institution celebrating the role of the potato in the economic growth of Idaho.

Marketing majors at Idaho colleges and universities have unique access to internship opportunities with the Idaho Potato Commission, a state agency dedicated to the promotion of Idaho potatoes. Idaho restaurants are also a great place for budding chefs at Idaho colleges to test their mettle.

The state capital, Boise, is one of the country's fastest growing metropolitan areas, which translates into increased job opportunities for graduates of Idaho colleges and universities. And Coeur d'Alene, Idaho's northern resort town of sparkling lakes and green pines, is one of the few cities that attracts year-round tourists as well as Idaho college students on break. Idaho is truly the Gem State, bursting with opportunities for students at Idaho colleges and universities to discover.
