Iowa State University Top Questions

I believe that somone should not attend this school unless they are willing to put in hard work towards their degree.

Iowa State is a great place for many different types of people, but if you aren't outgoing and want to go to college to "get a degree and get out," then this isn't the place for you. Iowa State offers many ways of getting involved whether it be student government and organizations, intermuerals, or greek life ect. There is a place for everyone at Iowa State because college is about finding yourself and becoming ready for the professional world and if a person isn't ready to get involved here, they aren't ready to go to college.

I don't think people who are from larger communities should attend this school. It is very small town, and full of people from farm communities. I am from Denver, CO and I have had a very hard time trying to asjust to living and going to school in such a small community. There is not much to do other then school, party and drink.

I think a person who particulary doesn't like the cold should not go to Iowa State University. Iowa has bitter winters and Ames is flat, making it very cold. But on a serious note, just as it is with any college, people should not attend this school if they do not have the motivation to keep up with their studies.

To be honest, any person could attend school here. There is literally something for everyone. We have over 800 student organizations to choose from and if a student can't find something they like, they can start their own club. The college atmosphere here is great. It is a great school as far as the education goes. Iowa State offers a wide variety of majors with exceptional programs for each one, especially engineering. If someone wants to make friends, get a great education, and leave college with a lot of memories, Iowa State is the place for them.

The school is very Engineered, Business-like, and Ag- related. That seems to be the top 3 colleges that are at the university. It can feel overwhelming if you are not part of those 3 colleges. If going into teacing, I would recommend going to UNI. I hear that UNI has a good teaching program in Cedar Falls.

People who are not focused and able to dedicate themselves to further education should not attend the school. There are many opportunities available here if you choose to explore them.

A lazy uncommitted person should not attend Iowa State because the classes require work and are difficult.

Honestly I think Iowa State has something to offer for every type of person, be they artsy or logical ISU handles both really well. The only people I think that should not attend Iowa State would be people that don't want to try or work very hard, Iowa State like most accredited universities are just not the place for those kinds of people.

People who can take responsability for themselves shouldn't attend ISU. Many classes don't take assistance and most consist of lectures but if you cut class all the time you will fail.

Someone fun who wants a great education and a great experience. They should be academically driven and look for a small community feeling with a large schools opportunities.

A person who is against diversity should not attend this school. Any form of discrimination is not welcome.

Someone who has no interest in research; someone who doesn't like cold weather; someone who doesn't like small towns.

A person that is ready for a change, and will not care to be around a lot of people.

I honestly feel like anyone could attend this school. There are plenty of majors and lots of places to fit in.

Someone who doesn't like exploring campus shouldn't go to Iowa State. It's the kind of place that has a bunch of wonderful hidden aspects that only the people who enjoy exploring find.

A lot of people like to have a good time at Iowa State University, but the successful students find time for school work. If you only like to party and are not willing to put any work into your classes, you should not attend Iowa State University.

People who are not from midwest. Honestly, it's a pretty laid back state and if you are coming from California or New York, you will surely get a tough time settling down.

I think it is more difficult for people from a small town to attend Iowa State. I'm not saying that they shouldn't attend, but it is much more of an adjustment for people when their first lecture class is filled with 4x's the amount of people in their high school graduating class.

Someone who wants a terrific education but is willing to work at it. If you can't see yourself going to class regularly and paying attention to every concept brought up by the professor, this school might be too tough. However, if you are willing to do those things, you will succeed here.
