I believe Iowa State is unique because of it's campus. It is a beautiful campus with lots of grass and trees. Other schools I visited were mainly concrete.

Iowa State is a big school but when walking around campus it doesnt feel like 30,000 kids attend. The campus is beautiful and everything is close together on making walking to class a painless process. Also, everyone here at school is very nice and is always looking to help a fellow student out.

I chose Iowa State because it was in the Midwest and it has a strong Agriculture Department. The Animal Ecology program set it apart from all the other schools. It allows me to get a triple major in Animal Ecology, Biology and Secondary Education which will help me get a job in the field before I start teaching.

This is the only school i considered.

Good Engineering and Architecture programs (the two programs I was considering).

As I stated earlier in the survey, Iowa State University was not my number one choice. In fact, I was accepted at every school I applied to and was planning on attending a different university. However, Iowa State contacted me and worked with me throughout my decision-making process and ended up offering me a research internship in my area of study as a freshman, should I attend. The fact that they showed so much interest and concern for my education is what convinced me to attend this school over the other, more uninvolved schools.

The sense of community at Iowa State was something that attracted me compared to other schools I considered. When I first visited, the guides were extremely helpful and energetic. They made me feel as though I was already part of their establishment which I truly enjoyed.

Iowa State is quite welcoming to the variety of people who attend college. There is an abundance of clubs and groups so no one ever feels left out. My advice: Try something new. Reach out. Explore. College is a time to grow, it is a time of freedom. Of course, always stay focused on your studies but make sure to know who you are and what your desire are. Become your own person. That is the greatest achievement.

My school is unique for its many opportunities. With hundreds of clubs there are many ways to get involved and get to know different people on campus. Besides that, there are many ways that the university can help you travel. Whether its trying out a new state through the in-state exchange program or getting to see a whole new country by studying abroad there is somewhere for every student to go and experience. Not only are these programs available, but they are also well-used due to the encouragement and suupport of the ISU faculty.

Good programs and in some departments, they have proffessors as advisors which is nice.

Iowa State University is a D1 college which means over 30,000 students attend the university, but it never feels that big.

We are very environmentally friendly, the computer was invented here, it's big enough that it is a change of pace but small enough that you'll see people again, and people are very friendly.

The school that I am going to has so many fun activities to do. There is always someting going on on campus whether it is a concert on central campus or a footbal game in Jack Trice staduim. There is also a feeling of knowing everyone wh you live with and feeling welcome in the town.

I only considered Iowa State, but of others I sort of looked at, it is well priced, a great school, national acheivments, good sized, and all around quality.
