1. "Boy-see"
The correct way to pronounce Boise. NOT "Boy-Z."
2. BRC
The Boise River Cafe - AKA the main campus cafeteria.
3. The Pod
Where you'll wait in line for half an hour at 11 PM on Saturday night after a football game to use a meal swipe to get a chicken quesadilla and a milkshake. Also the reason for the Freshman 15.
4. BSU Snaps
A Snapchat account that BSU students can send pictures and videos to and will be posted on their story. Probably the worst and grossest (yet funny) Snapchat account you will ever see.
5. Beach House / The Coop / Yacht Club
Fraternity and Sorority houses.
6. The Greenbelt
The running and biking trail along the Boise River that runs through the city and right next to campus.
7. "Lit"
A term college students often use to describe something that is really cool.
Example: "Dude, that party was lit."
*Also can refer to the massive Christmas tree in the middle of campus that is lit up all through December.
8. Idahome
A name Idaho natives often use to describe Idaho. Pretty clever.
9. Pie Hole
The pizza place right off campus that always tastes better at 2 AM and is full of BSU students.
10. "Spot the Californian"
One of my personal favorites - a game that people play on campus where they try to determine which students are from California based on how they react to the "cold" weather. AKA anything below 60 degrees.
11. Table Rock
The infamous local lookout where you can see all of Boise. You can drive or hike to it, but let's be honest, I always drive.
12. The Quad
The dreaded center of campus where every club/organization is forcefully passing out flyers. Sometimes you'll even get to experience a crazy man standing on a box and yelling about witches. You pretty much have to walk through the Quad to get to any class, so my favorite tactic is putting my head down and trying to make it through unnoticed.
13. Dead Week
The week before finals where classes should be canceled and we should get to study, but teachers decide to make us come to class anyway.
14. The Corral
The student cheering section.
The louder we cheer, the better they play. The better they play, the louder we cheer. It's a vicious cycle.
15. The BLUE
Sometimes referred to as "Smurf Turf," it is the incredible blue field that Boise State is known for. Probably the coolest field in college football, but we're a little biased.
