Iowa State University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at your school accurate?

Alex

NO! There are a lot of people studying agriculture at Iowa State, but Iowa state accels in many other fields. And it's not like Iowa State is on a farm, we are in a city with plenty of activities available to keep us busy.

Marie

No

Natalie

Possibly, but as i said, i don't really see there as a specific stereotype

Ashley

There are a lot of small town, Iowa kids that come here, and there are also alot of agriculture majors and other related fields, but there are also many people here that have never been to nor never want to step foot on a farm.

Julie

No. College is what you make of it so I love going to Iowa State and think it is a blast, but people who go to other schools love their schools more which makes them think lower of other schools.

Alex

No!

Brandi

No! While there are plenty of students at ISU who are engineers, farmers and partiers, that is not always the case! There are tons of other majors to choose from and lots of groups to get involved with that aren't focused on partying. You just have to look around a little bit.

NO! there are so many people who arnt those majors and many more ppl who arent hicks or farmies!!

Paige

Not really! There are people from all over! Really!!

Iowa State does have a strong College of Agriculture. However there are several other colleges and strong programs as well. ISU isn't life on the farm. Far from it!

Tristan

Absolutley not.

Casey

Study hard, party hard

Liz

No. Just because I'm a college student does not mean that I spend all my free money and time getting wasted. Iowa State is just as good of a school as Iowa.

Lisa

To an extent yes. Afterall, we do have strong programs in agriculture and engineering.

Theresa

yes

jessica

I would say these sterotypes are false. From my experience at Iowa State, there are a lot of people here from different backgrounds trying to get a degree in a particular field of interest.
