Iowa State University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Iowa State University? Why?

Maddee

Parking availability is not very good here and the teachers for the generals education classes needs to be improved.

Cassandra

The worst thing about the school is the late three hour labs, it makes people have to pull a late night even though they have a early eight o clock class the following morning.

Sara

It is quite a large school. At first, you feel a bit lost and forgotten, but as you become more aquainted with campus and the University it gets better. There are so many clubs, organizatons, programs, etc. that it is almost too overwhelming. I guess that these "worst" things about Iowa State really are positives once you get familiarized with them.

Kylie

The worst thing that I would consider about my school would have to be its location. Unfortunately it is almost three hours away from my hometown. At first it was really hard from me to be away from my family but I have learned to deal with the distance. It also isn’t the biggest town with not a lot to do like most college towns but that can come as an advantage as well.

Justin

After pondering this question, I really cannot think of a bad thing about this school. The people are great, classes are awesome, and opportunities are endless. If I had to choose a worst thing about the school it would have to be the weather. During the winter it can be a very cold experience walking to class.

Molli

The Cyclones. I have always grown up a Hawkeye fan and so it was against my nature to come to their rival school, but I believe that Iowa State really was the best fit for my small town lifestyle.

Brandi

I love everything about Iowa State University and I wouldn't change anything!

Briona

the worst thing about the school is the surrounding area. it is iowa so there is not much to do outside of the unviersity but the school is making tremendous efforts in changing this.

Samantha

The only negative side to Iowa State is the parking. Sometimes it is tough to find good spots, because there are so many students. You also have to be independant and disciplined, because you are the only one to manage yourself.

Brandon

The worst thing about my school is how they make you take lots of 101-type courses during your first year. It adds to the already overpearing pressure of getting used to college.
