Boise State University

Hugging the Boise River, Boise's only university opened its doors in 1932 as a small private college. Today, it hosts more than 15,000 students on a 100-acre complex. Conveniently located across the river from Julia Davis Park, the university is home to the Morrison Center for the Performing Arts, and Bronco Stadium. Other campus highlights include the 1866 Christ Chapel, Idaho's oldest Protestant church and the Hemingway Western Studies Center, housing a variety of Hemingway papers and other artifacts.
