Heather

The things I brag about most include the plethora of activities and and dining options. There is always something going on, and there are numerous clubs that one can get involved in. This includes intramurals, volunteer work, and more exotic topics such as sky diving! There is literally something for everyone. And if you do not find a club you like, you can start your own! During meal time, there are a lot of different places to go. This includes buffets, restaruants, smoothies at the gym, and sandwhich shops. I would say this is very ideal!

I usually brag about the opportunities that I have taken advantage of here at Iowa State University.

I brag the most about the beautiful campus and how close all my classes are to my dorm. Also, Iowa State is very good with class registration and getting students the classes they need and want to take.

Sebastian

I do not usually brag about college, but when I do is when a professor does not teach well, when I stay up all night studying and I don not get the grade I was expecting, and mostly when I have three tests of the most difficult classes in one day. Nevertheless, bragging does not solve anything that is why I do not talk about it that much; you just got to keep on going and carry onwith your university life.

Every aspect of it is bragworthy to me. The feeling of singing Sweet Caroline with 10,000 of your closest friends in Jack Trice Stadium after a football victory, the beautiful scenery I see on central campus when walking between my classes, the opportunities I get to further my passion for journalism, and the wonderful friends and faculty that I have had the pleasure of working with and meeting along the way. The school has helped me find who I am- a journalist, an environmental activist, and a diehard Cyclone.

Cara

I brag about how much school spirit there is at Iowa State. Also, how I am never scared to be alone because the campus just feels like home and there's nothing to ever be worried about.

Dan

VEISHEA is an annual week-long event that celebrates every college within ISU, and not many schools get such a time-lasting tradition to brag about all the cool stuff they do all year long. Lots of big names come to the school to perform, and there is a lot of history here as well, including the invention of the first ever computer, the first University Agricultural Extension program, and the invention of Rice Krispies as well. Everyone is very welcoming and although there is a large student body, it felt just like the small town I came from.
