I love Iowa State! There are so many activities to choose from, and I love the Greek community at Iowa State, it is one of the best in the nation and I think we really pride ourselves on that. Also I love campus town, Welch has a lot of fun places for people to go. I think Ames should provide a more club or "bar" like environment for students under the age of 21.. because there is really no place for students to go and dance and/or socialize in campustown. I think there is a lot of school pride, especially in the greek community with events like homecoming, veishea and greek week. I don't have really any complaints about Iowa State, i love it here.

There are a lot of great things about Iowa State University. First, the campus is beautiful. I love walking to class in the fall when the leaves are falling and it is still warm enough to wear a sweatshirt and jeans. I love the Greek Community at Iowa State. It is so strong and makes this large university seem small because I have met so many people through extracurricular activities.

Iowa State is a great university that has so many things to offer to its students. Its a smaller college town, but allows students to really focus on their academics. VEISHEA is a great things to have as well. Its the celebration of the seven colleges at Iowa State and its a time when current students and alumni come together and celebrate Iowa State!

I transferred here from a smaller private college in Iowa and I think the size of Iowa State is perfect. I actually like not knowing EVERYONE, but you certainly still meet a lot of people and see people you know everyday on your way to class.
My majors aren't very big so my classes are fairly small and I like it that way.
I love being in a sorority, it's a great why to be involved, know what's going on around campus, and the greek community give you that small school feel when you want it. I honestly do not know how everyone else on campus that is not greek knows whats going on at Iowa State and participtes in things.
I think there is a lot of school pride, even when our athletics aren't doing so well there still seems to be a lot of support behind them.

Iowa State is just right for me. It is a big school, with small town atmosphere. I have made so many friends through the dorms, classes, and the Greek community. The campus is absolutely beautiful, and everything is within walking distance. There are so many different ways to get involved on campus. One thing I would change is the sports because I feel we should have a baseball and hockey team other than club, and I would like to have a more competitive football team.

I love the campus it is gorgeous and I always feel at home here. The people are extremely welcoming and so easy to meet. Faculty is very helpful and class sizes are perfect. The campus is all in one area making it easy to walk from buildings. Campus town is kinda small but every place is always full making the weekends a blast!
Alex
I think that Iowa State is the perfect sized university with a very diverse group of students. There are so many opportunities at Iowa State, from clubs and organizations to academics; any person can fit in.

Best thing: Over 700 clubs and orgs to get involved in.
Good size!
People think about how bad our football team is when I say I am from ISU.
I spend a lot of time in the MU.
College town.
ISU's administration is very helpful for the most part.

I love how it's a large school, but it still hasa little bit of a small town appeal to it.

I think the best thing at Iowa State is its Greek Community and Clubs/activities. There is always an activity or something happening on campus. There are so many opportunities to get involved and make your college experience the best it can be. Iowa State has so many choices to pick from, that it is impossible to be a part of everything that you want. Personally, being Greek has been one of the best decisions of my life. I am involved to no end in community service activities, Greek competitions, etc. And not to mention, I have met some people that have become friends for a lifetime. Furthermore, just being a part of a small organization (club) can create numerous opportunities to enhance your socialization, create ties to important people, get involved with other activities, and even looks good on resumes!
