Scrubby Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Just wanted to start a thread to initiate some contact with others who will be starting next fall. My name is Misty Neisen and I will be at the Meridian campus. Thankfully, I live in Boise so I don't have to move. If anyone is moving to this area and have any questions, just ask, I have lived here for 13 years and I might be able to help. Congratulations to all who made it and I look forward to meeting you in the fall. Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsfelder0417 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi Misty, I am Joseph Felder. I have also accepted a seat at Meridian. I am not from the area, I have only driven through Boise. I am an active duty servicemember that is discharging (tonight actually.) I am currently stationed in South Korea, so I will be hopping on a plane tomorrow and flying into LA, where I will meet my family, get over my jet lag and drive north. I have so many questions, but i'll just give a few. I am going to school in Meridian, and my wife is attending Boise State-would you suggest we move to Boise, Meridian or Nampa? How wild is the weather? Is it hard to fly into the Boise Airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubby Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi Joseph! If your wife is going to school at BSU, I would recommend living near BSU. Even a place close enough to walk or bike to BSU's campus would save a lot on driving and parking issues. Also, the public bus system is pretty good around downtown and through campus and BSU students ride for free. As a plus, you have the bonus of being able to walk downtown for an evening out; movies, dinner, concerts, etc. The Green Belt runs along the Boise river right next to BSU's campus and connects ~80 miles of paved walking/biking paths. The main flow of traffic is from Nampa into Boise in the morning and reverse for the evening. So if you live in Boise your commute to Meridian is opposite traffic. And there is a ton of parking at ISU's campus, which no matter what we have to buy a pass for. The weather is much colder than Korea, but it is pretty good. Currently the temperatures are around 40-50 degrees in the day and drop to high 20 to low 30's at night. We rarely have snow in the valley stick for more than 24 hours. I wouldn't describe the weather as wild, it is really pretty mild. My daffodils have begun to sprout and spring is on the way! The Airport is a breeze. It is about 5 minutes from Downtown/BSU's campus and easy in, easy out. You can PM me or just keep asking questions, I am happy to help! Have a safe flight back to the states and enjoyable drive up!

Dan Barry Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well I might as well add myself to this list. ISU-Meridian was my first choice, so I'm very happy to have been selected. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsfelder0417 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Made it up here to Boise, and have been looking for houses for the last week or so. The market stinks here though. Seems like everything is a short sale, and those are a pain to close. Other than that enjoying my new found freedom. Time to go visit some family. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothsteg Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Heading to Pocatello to check out housing options! I'm from Wisconsin and am looking forward to spending some time in Idaho--see you all soon and best of luck preparing for school. -Grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
