Iowa State is actually pretty diverse so every type of student is welcome. I would were to pick a type of student who wouldn't succeed, it would be a person who is very lazy or is too shy to take advantage of what the school has to offer.

Claire

Kelsey

Alyssa

Someone who likes to who hide out in thier room. ISU is a very social campus.

Emma

Iowa State University is not for individuals who do not learn well in large classrooms. It is also not for those who lack the ability to be self-driven and motivated. Professors expect you to be committed to schoolwork and will not walk students through material during class. If extra help is needed, though, most professors are very willing to help during their office hours.

Sarah

Someone who doesn't want to participate in the various activites found on campus. This is a very involved school and a loner individual would feel out of place here.

Alison

Someone who would like a more equally diverse school

Elli

My school is full of diversity. I can't imagine a person who would not find their role at Iowa State University. There are hundreds of ways to get involved and enough courses of study that anyone could find something that would interest them.

Stephanie

Someone who is not looking for a diverse environment or a big school atmosphere. With over 33,000 students, there are people always around and you are bound to run into someone different from you on a daily basis. If you don't want to expand your cultural horizons, or do not like large groups of people, this probably isn't the best place.

Carolyn

Iowa State has an extremely diverse campus, so I don't know who wouldn't have a good experience here... I suppose anyone who doesn't go to class or make any effort to socialize and make friends. Even so, I am a pretty anti-social person, and I still found a large group of friends just by living in the dorms.

Lauren

This is a fairly large school. If you do not like being around people all the time, this is not a great option for you. Most of the people here are really friendly, but there is not a whole lot of options if you want to go somewhere where there are no people, especially if you are living on campus.

Jacob

People who want to get a great education . I personally am interested in becoming a veterniarian and this was the best choice in the state of Iowa. Iowa State is a wonderful school for many fields.

Hope

people who need to live near a city and feel stressed in a smaller town.

Sarah

I believe students who are not comfortable in a large university size should not attend Iowa State University. There are people always surrounding you and the class sizes are large until your later years of schooling. It would be a shame for a student to attend and not utilize the immense number of activities going on here.

Kayla

Someone who doesn't wnat to be social and would need more one-on-one classes. Most classes are larger until you get to your fourth year they say.

Matthew

If you are a big city person, ISU might not be right for you. While it has any and all normal amenities you could ever want, you'll often have to travel to Des Moines for other entertainment like concerts.
