The best thing about Iowa State is the many opportunities you can have to be yourself. Not only are you getting a rewarding education but you can also get involved with many different clubs and teams that get you involved with your peers. Living in the small town of Ames has given me a great sense of individualism.

I think the best thing about Iowa State University is the extracurricular activities offered. There are so many clubs available that there is literally a place for every interest and if you still can't find a club that interests you it is easy to start your own. The clubs vary in purpose with many being just a fun activity with friends and others helping to further your education.

The best thing about Iowa State University is that there is a place for everybody to belong. With the hundreds of clubs and activities there are so many ways I can get involed. From the first day I walked on campus, I felt like I belonged. Everyone is very friendly, students and faculity alike.

I think that the best part about Iowa State University is the amount of diversity we have along with resources the university provides. As many students are coming from small, non-diversified towns coming to a large school with a very large diverse population opens our eyes to the real world and what we will face once we leave our beautiful campus. The resources provided by our school are also extremely helpful. If any student is struggling in life or academically the school is always prepared to provide assistance in any way possible.

The Salt Company has been an incredible blessing to me at Iowa State. They are a nondenominational Christian organization that reaches out to students with the gospel and serves Christ. I am surrounded with friends and mentors that support me and help guide me in my faith. God has blessed me immensely through his provision of The Salt Company and in all things here at Iowa State.

The best part of my school is the community spirit. I go to campus and I feel like I step into a learning garden. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I look forward to my adventure at Iowa State.

The people are the best thing about Iowa State. The people at Iowa State are almost always very friendly. We don't let small things divide us. Iowa State students and alumni tend to always stick together and support eachother and it is nice to know that you will always be accepted by your fellow students and the faculty.

The resources available to students and the campus environment. I am in the College of Business at Iowa State and there is a Career Services Center that does a great job with finding students internships, jobs, and any other students needs. You can go in to talk to any of the advisors, and they are more than happy to accomodate you. It is the people that make Iowa State the place it is. Everyone is passionate about the school, and when you are around passionate people, it makes attending school that much more fun and worthwhile.

Akilah
The best thing about ISU would be how pretty and scenic the campus is.
Tim
I think that the best part of Iowa State is the condensed campus. It makes it so much easier to get to classes when you can just walk to them and not having to worry about finding a parking spot. It may really suck during the winter but it is definitely a plus considering you don't have to waste money on gas every week.
Krista
The best thing about my school is the campus. We a have a really pretty campus because we have a great horticulture major. Our central campus is a big grass area where students sit and study on nice days. There is also the campanile that plays music every hour.
Chris
The dorm life because that is where you'll meet some of your best friends. If you need to ask someone a question about homework or just want to hang out, all you have to do is walk a few doors down. It's a great community atmosphere. Even if you're shy or anti-social, leave your door open and you'll make friends. Some of my greatest adventures are due to the friends I made in the dorms.
John
The best part about Iowa State University is the community of peole and friends that develope of the course of the academic year. Being a native of the South, I had assumed that the school would be nothing but a bunch of farm kids. Glady, I was mistaken. The studnets are energetic, fun, exciting people, that make college life much more enjoyable.
Geena
I could go on and on about my school, but what I love most is the campus. It is absolutely beautiful, especially in the spring. It makes me really enjoy where I'm at and feel at home, and that's very important to me where ever I am.
Rebecca
