The education

The best component about Iowa State University is definitely the amount of activities there are available. Throughout campus, nearly everywhere you look there are flyers detailing a club or organization that is meeting soon. These organizations get people to become involved in campus and campus-life by "belonging" to something. Some students need this sense of community in order to enjoy their time at college. Thus, I believe the clubs and organziations really strive to welcome everyone! Also, many of these activities help the community such as Dance Marathon, which is an activity I am happily involved in.
