molly

Iowa State is an ubeat community with a homey feel. The type of person attending this school needs to be willing to meet new people and face large group settings. They need to have the ability to do things for themselves and have spirit for their cyclone teams. A positive attitude and a willingness to try new things is also helpful because the school has such a different feel from most others; it is relaxing and spirited at the same time. A cyclone needs a lot of heart and passion.
