Iowa State University Top Questions

1. NO! I was afraid I would be bored in the middle of Iowa, but that's the furthest thing from my mind. 2. sort of. Iowa State has strong programs in agriculture, but that doesn't mean we're hicks. We also have amazing programs in engineering and design, and there are all kinds of other great majors here, and all kinds of people.

Absolutely not - I.S.U. offers an array of accredited programs that are of high-end, Mid-west quality with high-success rates.

Well, we do have a lot of hicks and farmers because there is an excellent ag program here at ISU, but the majority of us are not that way.

It's true that a lot of the students are from farms, but Iowa State offers a lot of diversity. After visiting other schools to see friends, I've found Iowa State to have some of the nicest and certainly most polite students.

From a software engineer stand point I know the education I'm getting is good. I work hard, but I would be willing to put my software knowledge side by side with anybody's that been through a year at college anywhere.

Although it's a big agriculture school, all styles of dress/classes/etc are represented and actually, the majority of students aren't farm kids. And even though our athletic teams may be inferior, our campus and student life is actually very similar to the University of Iowa's (and we can drink more).

Why yes! We're all in college!

1.)No, I learned cows acually sleep laying down! Ames is a great college town with a population of 65,000 people. We are also close to Des Moines so have access to city life 2.)Very True

No, there are farm kids but even the farm kids aren't as "country" as some people would like to think. Iowa state is very diverse.

Some are however some are deifinitely wrong.

To an extent they are kind of correct but there is a huge variety of students so of course you will have some extremes but generally it's pretty mixed.

Some of them are, it is a wet campus, so what can you expect, but not everyone is a small town kid, but the majority obviously.

Yes

To a point, I mean mostly we are corn fed and compared to other states the boys at ISU are taller and more muscular. Some of the sorority girls and boys to follow the stereo types but not all.

No

no

No, we are not all farmers and from small towns.

NO!

Some are, but for the majority they aren't

No

No.

yes

Not really, there are a lot of people in engineering that you wouldn't expect, although most of the fashion majors are dressed up most days, there are a ton of majors here so you'll see lots of people in sweats from the Kinesiology major too!!

Somewhat, there are several farm and small town kids that go to ISU. There are also a lot the come from cities.

Majority of the people are from Iowa. And there are definitely people to met and things to do that don't involve drinking.

compared to other schools we may be

That we have a good academics that is correct. We do get together and have fun but studies mostly come first. There are a lot of agriculture majors but the majors are pretty spread out.

There are quite a few people who go to school here that are from small towns or farms, but I am from the City and I find than many students who go to ISU are from larger cities such as Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas etc. As for our football team, they are pretty bad.

No, for the most part, people who go here are VERY smart, but in VERY different ways.

No, there are some agriculture majors, but obviously not everone is.

yes, but its fine with me :)
