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.

I love the campus, it's so beautiful and great to walk around. I also like all the different activities you can get involved in, like lots of clubs, sports, learning communities, and other activities.

Iowa State offers the benefits of a research institution and a teaching institution. People are friendly and helpful and the environment is academically focused but still includes plenty of opportunities for fun and involvement.

Iowa State University is a great place to start off your college education. There are a large variety of majors available and the professors care about your success. The campus is beautiful, especially in the fall and spring. Iowa State also has hundreds of clubs and sports so everyone on campus can get involved and enjoy their next four years of college. I could not see myself anywhere but Iowa State University because of the many opportunities I have encountered from researching with an engineering faculty member to joining the college bowling team.
Erin
I really like that there are multiple majors here at Iowa State. I'm not completely confident on what I want to do, but I know I have many opportunities to choose from and so many ways to get involved in different colleges on campus to find out what I really enjoy doing or what I don't enjoy as much.

Iowa State University has a great overall atmosphere. THe campus is beautiful and students can easily get from class to class without having to fight large crowds, or great distances. The classes are very good, most of the professors are published Ph.D's in their fields, and it is clear to see that they honestly enjoy teaching. The students also have a sense of pride in their school, and its athletics. We are proud to say that we attend Iowa State. It is a very good school to get a higher education at, I highly recommend Iowa State University.

Professors are willing to go above and beyond to help students

The best thing about this college is the campus. It is very beautiful and amazing to walk to and from classes. There is so much space to sit in the sun and do homework or toss around the frisbee with friends. It is a great environment to meet meet who are friendly and very fun to be around.
Cherie
The best thing about Iowa State University is the feeling you get when you are part of the student body. It's that feeling of thousands of people coming together for one thing.
Kayla
The attitudes of the students and staff to be helpful. The teachers are very accessable.
Laura
The best thing about Iowa State University, in my opinion, is the beautiful campus and the friendly people you see everywhere you go. Central campus is one of the most beautiful places on campus in any season of the year. The architecture of the buildings is unique and each is rich in history and tradition. Walking through campus, seeing all of the green grass, trees, and people laying out in the sun on central campus always starts my day off right by putting a simle on my face.
Jennifer
The best thing about Iowa State is how accepting people are of others and how friendly people are.
Jessica
I am always impressed of how much I learn each semester. I go home feeling like I gained knowledge everyday.
Nicholas
The best thing about the school is the size of campus. It's big enough so you can have room to roam but not so big that it takes a long time to get to class. You can cross campus in 15 minutes. This suits people of many mentalities as it a middle size campus.
