Iowa State University Top Questions

campus

The parking is definitely the worst part about ISU.

I think that the worst thing is obviously the price of tuition for out of state students. I think it's the worst part because I already need to pay so much extra to live out here and travel to my hometown, and I don't understand why I should be paying so much more for the same education as residents.

The University has a growing number of enrolled students, which causes class sizes to be ectemely large for some classes which are general in nature, and not considered core classes. This makes it difficult to obtain additional assistance in the classroom from the professor when needed, although the university does have supplement instruction for most classes, those sessions tend to be large as well.

...i can't think of anything that's 'bad' per say.

Nothing bad about my school.

On the weekends everyone goes home so the campus ends up a ghost town on the weekend and it becomes a very difficult socail enviorment.

Such a big campus. It gives a great opportunity to learn and connect with people but with such a huge campus there are bigger classes and not so much one-on-one with the professor. There are definitely good things about a big campus, however.

The only thing I am unhappy with about my school is the dining services. I am tired of having the same food over again and the quality doesn't seem all that great.

Our worst attribute may be our football team, we have yet to make significant progress this year as the University of Iowa beats us yet again. Joking aside, our dinning centers sould offer healthier meal options, and it would be nice if the windows shut in our dorm rooms. Other than a few inconviences there really isn't anything to complain about, if there was I would have to consider changing schools.
