No Diversity. Especially in engineering... it is horrible. I'm the only black guy in most of my classes.

At Iowa State I feel as though I am just a number, and I'm just another person paying an extremely high amount of money for tution. I don't feel like anyone cares how I do in my classes or what path I'm on, but I get like 5 letters if I'm two days late on making a tution payment. Seems as though its all about football and money here.

Iowa State has many cultural groups. I find it is very diverse and open environment and that most people are not demeaning towards people's race, religion, sexual orientation, or culture. I don't think anybody would feel out of place at iowa state because there is so much diversity and so many different groups that could fit any person. Students wear anything from jeans and a t shirt to black hair and chains to short skirts and low tops to designer everything to sweatpants.

Is very large and diverse. There are a million different people and there is always someone to hang around and something with.

There are definitely more males than females (since it's a science and technology school), but I see that as an advantage. A wide variety of social groups are represented at Iowa State, although there is a small minority population.

Many of the students from Iowa State are from Iowa, Minnesota, or the Chicago area. However, the student body is still diverse. On campus you will see people wearing t-shirts, jeans, cute spring dresses, sweats, cowboy boots, and the list goes on, depending on the season. Students can participate in LGBT, MSA, the greek community, SCLA, ISU After dark, and many more activities.

GSB exists, but my only personal dealings with them has been to request funding for my student organizations.

There is a large Asian community. Students wear anything from ISU garb to designer clothes to class.

I LOVE our Greek Community. It is amazing and being a member has given me so many life lessons and opportunities. Being a part of a sorority has been one of the best things about my college career.

The student body here at ISU is a very welcoming and warm group of people, like when i came here on a college visit everywhere i walked people i didn't even know would smile at me as i passed by them on the sidewalks.

I feel that ISU's student body could be more diverse.

There are great religion opportunities for me since that is such a big part of my life.

Iowa is pretty much the whitest place on earth. Nicest people, but not a whole lot of culture. Don't get me wrong, everyone is accepted and liked, but there is just not a lot to mix in together. The music interest is mainly country. Country and rap. The Iowa mix. Most everyone is from a middle to upper class background. I would say most students are of the conservative nature, except for us design kids, which are pretty liberal. There are other liberals, I suppose. Pretty much all of the agriculture peeps are conservative. Hardcore.

I believe that all students of any background would easily fit into Iowa State's campus. At class you can find student wearing just about anything. There are those who dress casual, dress up, dress in sweat, cowboy gear, all black, anything and everything imagineable. On campus people are friendly and easy to talk to. You can be talking to someone at a bus stop who you've never met and strike up a completely normal conversation just as if they were your friend from high school.

I took a women studies class that focused on lesbians. they offered us connections to enter groups about lesbianism if we were interested.

The student body at Iowa State is not that diverse. It is mostly caucasian but there is a high asian population as well. I don't think any student would feel out of place at Iowa State. There just may not be that many people like them. Most of the students here are from Iowa or the surrouding midwest states.

Most students are caucasian, but there is plenty of diversity since it's a big state school. Most students wear Iowa State sweatshirts and jeans around campus. Most students are from Iowa. I think most students are conservative politically.

There are all kinds of students at ISU. I think it'd be hard for someone to feel out of place if they were involved. There are groups for all kinds of students.

Iowa State is a very white raced campus. There isn't much diversity at all, with a large exception of the athletic teams.

The greek students are very involved on campus.
