Show your family why you love being an Idaho State Bengal!

Bengal Family Weekend is the best way to connect your family to your school life. It’s an opportunity to introduce your family to ISU, and it can also help with that bit of homesickness you may be feeling after the first few weeks of school.

At Bengal Family Weekend, you and your family can enjoy free admission to Bingo, bowling, billiards, the Natural History Museum, and Bengal Theater. You can take on the Red Hill hike and take some pics at columns. You can take them to visit the campus greenhouse and plant a succulent. Come to the Friday night dinner and the Saturday tailgate for some great food, and definitely catch the Saturday football game!

Bengal Family Weekend kicks off on Friday, Oct. 8, and ends on Saturday, Oct. 9 after the football game. Face coverings are required indoors and at the tailgate.

Don’t miss this chance to show off your campus and chill out with the people you love. Registration is required.

U ROAR Offers a New Event Every Day
College is a demanding experience, but focusing just on the grade or the work can cause students to miss out on that broader, richer college experience. We want you to succeed in your classes, but don’t forget how important it is to relax, have fun, and immerse yourself in the excitement of student life! Grab the opportunity to enjoy the activities and exciting events that take place outside of the classroom. U ROAR website.
