What do college students love? The answers include pizza, rock climbing, country music, working out, friends, family, baseball, food, sleep, and the people who matter most.
In this lighthearted campus video, Big Dog Solar asks students to share the activities, meals, and relationships that make them happy. While the answers vary, they all point to something important: people value the freedom to spend their time and energy on the things they love.
Some students are passionate about outdoor activities like rock climbing and Spikeball. Others love working out, reading, writing, baseball, or listening to country music.
Food was another popular answer. Pizza and Café Rio’s sweet pork burritos received enthusiastic mentions—which makes sense when you ask hungry students these questions around lunchtime.
The most meaningful responses focused on friends, family, and loved ones. One student gave his fiancée, Eliza Acuna, a special shoutout, while others shared their appreciation for their mother, friends, family, and twins.
After hearing what everyone else enjoys, the Big Dog Solar team shares an answer of its own: the independence that solar energy can provide.
A properly designed residential solar system can help homeowners generate electricity at their property and reduce the amount of energy they purchase from the utility. For homeowners who also want backup capabilities, solar with battery storage can store energy for selected household needs.
Solar does not necessarily mean disconnecting from the electrical grid. Instead, it can give homeowners more control over how their electricity is produced and used. The right system depends on the property, local utility rules, energy consumption, available sunlight, and the homeowner’s goals.
Big Dog Solar helps homeowners throughout the Mountain West understand their energy options. Its regional teams include the Pocatello solar office and Boise-area solar office.
