Iowa State University Top Questions

Everything

The Best thing about my school is the friendly atmosphere. Iowa State is located in the heart of central Iowa, known for having great people. I always find my professors, advisors, peer, as well as citizens of Ames to be some of the most high quality people I've ever met. Another great thing about Iowa State is all of it's extracurricular activities as well as career preperation. There are over 800 student ran organizations on campus that help you succeed in your career choice as well as career fairs held every spring and fall.

The biology major is definitely my favorite thing about ISU. All my classes, even my English class, are tied to biology in some way. I even found the orientation course that is stereotypically boring and useless to be interesting and helpful. I'm sent emails about tons of different opportunities for internships, jobs, and scholarships by my advisors on a regular basis. There are so many awesome study programs to take advantage of. I really feel like ISU is so helpful and beneficial, and that I will be successful in my biology career because of it.

People drink a lot and are pretty into the whole greek community thing. There's not a whole lot to do on the weekends besides drink though. Students are generally smart in engineering.

For being such a large university, Iowa State has an incredibly small campus (in a good way). The campus is so compact that you can easily walk from most of the dorms to any building on central campus under 10 minutes. Central campus has a beautiful green and in nice weather many students lay out. The whole campus is beautiful - there are tons of trees and greenery and the buildings are very "original" looking. Even in cold Iowa winters, the campus looks gorgeous covered in snow.

I would consider the campus the best thing about Iowa State. It's beautiful and well laid out. I have every thing I need right there.

The amount of opportunities at Iowa State is enormous. Aside from the hundreds of clubs and sports to get involved in, there are plenty of research opportunities to jumpstart your career. Instead of waiting until your senior year to start looking for a job in the job market, you can get involved in interneships on campus that will not only build your application, but open up doors to work with other companies.
