Boise rises spectacularly from a lush, green valley as the City of Trees, surrounded by an outdoor playground of mountainous high desert. Nationally recognized for its safety, quality of life, outdoor recreation and beautiful sunny climate, Boise is many things to many people. It’s a big city but offers small-town warmth. It’s fast paced but also laid back. It’s sophisticated but friendly, too.

Boise is one of the most livable cities in the country with highly touted attributes:

  • One of the “Healthiest Cities” (Women’s Health/Men’s Health)
  • One of the “Top 10 Places to Live” (Relocate America)
  • One of the “Best Places to Live 2011″ (Triathlete)

  • One of the “Best Places to Retire” (CNN Money)

The bridges that span the Boise River connect the university and the city in a mere 10-minute walk from the Quad to downtown.
