I think extraverted people who enjoy getting involved in clubs, organizations, and getting to know people should go to Iowa State University. It is a very welcoming and sociable campus with over 800 clubs and organizations. Students who like to get involved will thrive in this environment. There are activities for everyone on campus, even those who tend to be more introverted. I would also say that students who are interested in the sciences or engineering should go here.
