The main thing I brag about when speaking with my friends about Iowa State is our beautiful campus. Iowa State's nearly 2000 acres has a perfect balance of open green space and architecturally diverse buildings. We have many different programs to keep campus clean and environmentally friendly. Our campus is not cluttered with parking ramps and roads; therefore Iowa State's campus feels more like a home than an institution. Students take pride in where they live; therefore we strive to have a immaculate, homely, picturesque campus.

I'm a member of a student group called The Salt Company. It's a student ministry through Cornerstone Church of Ames. The Salt Company has changed my life and really helped me stay on a path that is pleasing to the Lord. Through it I've made some of the greatest friends a person could have and am dating an amazing girl I met at TSC.

The campus is beautiful. Hands down my favorite aspect. Academically, the Advertising program is an accredited program, requiring a 400 hour internship to graduate. I think requiring an internship in your field of major is vital.

I tell my friends how beautiful the campus is and how it is such a friendly environment. The teachers are nice, the coursework is not too much, and students work together very well. There is a variety of activities available as well so there are many different clubs or sports you can get involved in. The greek life is great as well since the school itself is not as focused on that as it is for its academics. If you don't mind the snow or rain, you'll love the campus every season and every day you are there.
