Iowa State University Top Questions

I don't think you should attend Iowa State University if you are strictly here to learn. I know learning is the whole reason why we are here, but if you don't open yourself up to having a good time, too, you'll regret it in the end. Most all of us want that "college experience" of going out with friends and having fun and making great memories, so if you won't want that, don't come to a place where fun is so inevitable. ISU was my school of choice and I am glad I came here.

If you have any sense of community and a family atmosphere do not attend Iowa State University. This school is all about being involved and belonging. If you can't be a friendly person and don't want to be involved then don't come.

One who is not looking to take college seriously. One who is not wanted to become something more in life.

People who hate agriculture. There is a heavy presence of agriculture majors on campus. Also, people who can't stand hearing opinions from people who don't know the facts. If you can tolerate it, fine, but if not, don't come. The college paper is full of it.

There are many diverse students at Iowa State, so it is difficult to say that anyone shouldn't enroll. However, those who aren't interested in actively participating in the classroom and keeping up with their studies should consider going elsewhere. Many students who have come from larger cities also may have a hard time adjusting to the small-town Iowan lifestyle. Lastly, those who do not enjoy cold weather and plenty of snow might not enjoy the winter they would experience at Iowa State University.

The kind of people that shouldn't attend this University are those whom show no motivation or signs of responsability. Being responsible in college is a must. Students must meet deadlines and the criteria of the work. Work ethics are important , plagiarism is unecceptable, as well as cheating on exams and assignments. Skipping class hurts students grades, many times I have seen students getting punished for skipping lectures and disturbing class. College is a lot different than High School. We're here to build responsability, learn, participate, and create a better future. Not slack off, miss class, and disturb classmates.

The reason for this is that Iowa State University has a way of changing peoples lives for the better.

Someone who is afraid of meeting new people, or needs to be coddled. This is a big university, and there will always be new people to meet. Similarly, you will usually have new professors each semester, and they can't be expected to hold your hand the entire time. You need to be able to get work done on your own initiative.

Students that will not enjoy this school are people that like the busy, crowded city life. Iowa State is more for students that are involved with agriculture and nature. Students that are not limited on money supply could afford a private and Ivy League schools, Iowa State is more for the average student.
