My dorm room doesn't have air conditioning

There are a lot of PhD students at the school and may of them have to be research professors. This means that there are a lot of foreign professors who don't always know English very well.

It gets really cold in the winter and you have to walk around outside.

The worst thing about Iowa State is that there are so many guys that attend ISU. Because ISU is such a strong engineering school (top 15 in the nation, I believe) the gender ratio is almost 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} men versus 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} women (from what I remember).

The city of Ames is not big enough for the University. Iowa State is a great sized university, Ames is just not big enough.

The worst thing about my school is that some of the intro classes are in huge halls with 200 kids per class.

Though our school is full of many good things, one of the worst things about ISU is the large lecture classes that we have. Many of the classes that I've taken have had around +300 students in them. With so many students, it's hard to get help from the professor and have a one-on-one with him/her. Thankfully, we have teaching assistants that help us if the professor is unavailable.

Located in the middle of Iowa. I am a fan of diverse landscapes and the middle of Iowa is flat farmland.

The worst part about Iowa State is that people do not just reach out and say hello to you for no reason. People are very curteous, but students are often too bus on their phones to look up and enjoy the campus! It is really a bit sad that most students are not talking to each other when walking to class.
Samantha
I think the worst thing about Iowa State is the size. It is a very large school both in size and in number of students. Coming from a small town, this made me step out of my comfort zone, which seemed bad at first!
Mitchell
The worst thing about this school, is the campus design and how it is with personal transportation to and from campus. The parking on/near campus is pretty horrible.
Josh
No reciprocity between Minnesota and Iowa
Trevor
The worst thing about Iowa State University has to be the weather. Winter in Iowa is so cold, walking around on campus can be a nightmare during January and Febuary.

The worst thing about Iowa State would be our football team and the overcrowding in residence halls due to increased enrollment. The football team obvious changes over the years and will hopefully play better with the additioinal new coaches and players. The university and city of Ames are working on adding more student apartment buildings to increase the housing availability.

The worse thing about Iowa State are the school's charges. They have outrageous charges then students like myself rarely get any financial aid to help pay for school. To add insult to injury, they convinced me that my two scholarships were full rides when they aren't, instead they gave me loans I had no idea that I had.

One of the things I would consider the worst about my school is the some of the activies require a fee charge to be part of it. coming from a low income family it is very hard for me to keep up with the schools tuition and personal bills. I would like become part of more schools programs and acitivites. I am happy although that the school does offer many programs that are at no charge.

The worst thing is the lack of diversity. The university it making a tremendous effort to bring in more multicultural students however, currently the diversity is lacking. Also, the lack on housing is becoming quite a problem.
Kayla
The worst thing about my school, and the most frustrating thing, is the low amount of scholarships/financial aid available to those of us who are not considered "minorities". I have friends who are classified as a minority who have full ride scholarships as a result, while I am a white female working 3 jobs (at the momement, over 45 hours a week in addition to 21 credits) and searching for a 4th job just so I can stay in school.
John
There isn't much to complain about, but sometimes the distance from one class to another can be far for the time in between classes.
