Iowa State University Top Questions

Even though it has so many students, it still manages to cater to each one's needs. It has so many opportunities, and its study abroad program is incredible.

I brga about how beauitful the campus is! It is breath taking and beautiful! You can walk around campus and asorb all of the great artwork and scenery.

How our campus keeps students involved and how the university tries to keep its students active with great recreation areas and countless clubs and activites.

I brag the most about the beautiful campus and how close all my classes are to my dorm. Also, Iowa State is very good with class registration and getting students the classes they need and want to take.

I do not usually brag about college, but when I do is when a professor does not teach well, when I stay up all night studying and I don not get the grade I was expecting, and mostly when I have three tests of the most difficult classes in one day. Nevertheless, bragging does not solve anything that is why I do not talk about it that much; you just got to keep on going and carry onwith your university life.

When talking to my friends I brag about how beautiful the campus is and how the teachers at ISU really want you to succeed. I talk about the good education that I am getting and how people are so caring and compassionate there.

School spirit and Cybird. Students at ISU are proud Cybird fans.

Every aspect of it is bragworthy to me. The feeling of singing Sweet Caroline with 10,000 of your closest friends in Jack Trice Stadium after a football victory, the beautiful scenery I see on central campus when walking between my classes, the opportunities I get to further my passion for journalism, and the wonderful friends and faculty that I have had the pleasure of working with and meeting along the way. The school has helped me find who I am- a journalist, an environmental activist, and a diehard Cyclone.

I brag about how much school spirit there is at Iowa State. Also, how I am never scared to be alone because the campus just feels like home and there's nothing to ever be worried about.

VEISHEA is an annual week-long event that celebrates every college within ISU, and not many schools get such a time-lasting tradition to brag about all the cool stuff they do all year long. Lots of big names come to the school to perform, and there is a lot of history here as well, including the invention of the first ever computer, the first University Agricultural Extension program, and the invention of Rice Krispies as well. Everyone is very welcoming and although there is a large student body, it felt just like the small town I came from.

I don't brag, but one of the greatest benefits of being a Cyclone is all of the opportunities to become involved within their Greek Community. There are 30 different fraternities as well as 15 sororities, and at least 10 of them are ranked within the top 5 nationally. We are reshaping the way people think about what it means to be Greek while consistantly maintaining at or above the average male and female GPA. Our Greek Community serves the Ames community in many different ways, especially through philanthropy by raising over $30,000 each year.

The amount of students and teachers and classes. There are so many different people that you get the opportunity to interact with and learn from.

I would have to say the best things about the university I go to are the scenery, and how friendly everyone here is.

My campus is beautiful and has amazing oppertunities and alot of school spirit

Iowa State isn't a school its a community. The people here are so friendly and willing to help, that it is very uncommon to feel left-out or confused. The educational staff is eager to assist in your learning and guide you to a profession where you will succeed, and everyone else is there to support you in your journey. All of the departments are just an email or phone call away, and they are always happy to answer an question you may have along the way.

We have a large amount of academic support systems for students who need help in a particular subject. ISU really wants its students to succeed in their pursuit of an education. The small-town feel and vast diversity of students is a great combination.

How good their engineering program is and most of the faculty in that program.

Iowa State is an awesome school and I am so glad that I chose to further my education here! First of all if you like sports Iowa State is a great place to be because everyone is bonded together with school spirit. The professors are great as well and will do everything they can to help you succeed. I can't forget to mention the awesome food and activities they provide!

The campus is nice.

As an enigneering student, I tend to brag about the reputation Iowa State has as an engineering school. Because of the large engineering student population, Iowa State also has one of the largest career fairs in the nation. I was lucky enough to be hired as an ambassador to the career fair this year so I would brag about that. Aside from academics, Iowa State has a great athletic program. The basketball and football teams pack in a great fan base in the Hilton Colliseum and Jakc Trice Stadium facilities.

I'm involved in number one Aerospace Engineering program in the country, as rated by the Princeton Review. The teaching head of the department is an ex-NASA man, and he is one of the most knowledgable and wise people I know. There are some of the largest collegiate, research available wind tunnels in the world here, and the work possibilities are undeniably some of the most intriguing and impressive any college could hope to offer it's students.

The thing I have bragged to my friends about would probably have to be how AWESOME the campus is! It is so big, but there is SO much to see. Central campus is just incredible; the buildings and the campanile are so old yet so pretty, there are so many places to just hang out and do homework, yet it's still quiet.

What's there not to brag about? I usually tell people the same things I previously mentioned. I also talk about our sports and school spirit...GO CYCLONES!!! The campus is a very beautiful and natural landscape which makes for a stress-free environment everyday. Iowa State just recently finished building a large gym for students to go workout.

When telling my friends about Iowa State University I brag the most about the campus. It is the most beautiful campus. There are so many places to study both inside and outside. There is also a lot to do on campus whether you want to go out to dinner, play volleyball in one of the gyms, or play a game of ultimate frisbee in one of the many open fields. It is the perfect size and all around a wonderful campus.

When I brag to my friends I tell them how social Iowa State is and how involved it is. There are so many activities you can do and so many people you can meet. It is a fantastic place to meet life long friends and continue to enjoy everything you did in high school through clubs or volunteering.

My favorite thing about ISU is the atmosphere and the people. I come from Chicago so I am used to rudeness and a rush to get places, but in Iowa I have come to see the kindness and relaxation in the air rather than the rush. I love walking around the campus and seeing the beautiful scenary. I also brag about how many places and people I can go to to get help with anything i might need. The SI sessions have saved me from failing classes mulitple times already.

Besides us having one of the most beautiful campuses in America, I like to tell them about the level of diversity we have. I feel it could be much higher though for the fact that we are in Iowa I still think its nice. I have met people from all over the world and have made friends with many of them. I love being exposed to cultures other than my own while learning new traditions, superstitions, and most exciting trying new foods that I never knew existed. From clothes to games I have learned a lot about others around me.

I tell my friends how beautiful the campus is and how awesome my professors are.

It's a beautiful campus and everyone is SO nice!

I always brag about how pretty the campus is. During the summer it's really pretty with all the flowers and during the fall, all the trees turn different colors. I also talk about how there are so many club options. Clubs are an easy way to meet new people. Finally, Iowa State University has the best food!!!!!

One of the best things I have done at Iowa State is join the marching band. This is definitely one thing I brag about to my friends. The band has been a wonderful experience. Everyone involved is so hardworking, dedicated to music, and enthusiastic. Everything from the practices to the football games has been fun, and I have made many stories and lasting memories to share with my friends.

It is the best school for my program!

When I talk about my school, I talk about how committed the students are in my field. We work as a team, providing each other positive reinforcement, hold study groups for social interaction while working on schoolwork. What I like the most about my school is the people I am surrounded with, they provide support whenever I need it.

The school's national ranking. In Iowa for example: the world's largest tornado simulator.

My primary bragging point is technology! We incorporate it into every field - from developing state of the art navigation systems to drive agricultural equipment to making our city buses run on cool new fuel options. Technology is so important because it drives all the other great features - our reputation as a very forward school allows us to bring in the best research, the best faculty and the best students; our future is bright and our minds innovative because we are given all the tools, technology and otherwise, that we need to make change - and make a difference.

That ISU puts a strong emphasis on science and engineering.

It's a friendly, beautiful campus! I was worried being overwhelmed by the huge university but it definitely still has the small town feel! Anyone is willing to help!

I brag about the knowledge I have attained through engineering courses. the knowlegede is so complex and interesting that to others, not in the engineering field, might be as if it were another language.

How beautiful the campus is and how good the engineering program is.

I brag about a few things, one being the beautiful campus. Central campus is absolutely gorgeous all year, with the campanile and the lake with swans. It looks like something out of a fairytale. The other thing is that ISU is so great in engineering, design, and science in general. We aren't a lazy party college; we work hard to become the next generation of leaders and problem solvers.

I brag about our sports and the atmosphere experiencing them. In football this year, we beat our state rival, the Iowa Hawkeyes, which is bragging rights for a year. Perhaps the biggest game in our history was this past fall (2011) when Iowa State beat the No.2 team in the nation, Oklahoma State, at home. Other things I brag about are 800+ clubs that ISU offers. The food is at or exceeds restaurant quality and is delcious. The campus is open and beautiful to walk through, and everyone at ISU knows how to have a good time.

My agriculture classes, I love them. My room mates, I love them.

The campus at ISU is beautiful. The football games are amazing and a great way to meet people and build school spirit.

I always tell my friends about how awesome the sporting events are and how muh fun i have with my friends on campus. A couple other things are the professors, my classes, and the school it self. It is a world renound school and im proud to be going there.

I would brag about how friendly and widespread the environment is. I love the "big college" atmosphere Iowa State University offers, because it gives me the opportunity to continually meet new people and have new experiences that weren't offered in my high school. There are so many classes, clubs and activies to choose from too. There is just so much to do, you're never bored. I love my college!

We have one of the top engineering departments in the United States. Where some schools have one building for engineering we have like 10 buildings.

It has very good classes and the teachers actually care.

There is always something going on at this school. The sporting events are great, regardless of what sport and whether or not we win, lots of students and fans come out to support. The academics are outstanding. I especially brag about the design program. It is challenging and applicable to real life jobs. It has all the benefits and opportunities of a large University, but has the aspects of tight-knit commnities of small colleges

Iowa State is located in a great community. It is a very safe campus and you do not have to worry about walking alone at night. Unlike most other campuses Iowa State offers a lot of activities on the weekend, and you do not have to drink to have a good time. Iowa State also has great professors who are willing to take time out of their busy schedule to help their students.

I definitely brag about how beautiful the campus is. The buildings are modern and gorgeous and the town overall is very peaceful. Little violence.
