There Is Plenty of Guys and Girls to Go Around

Here at ISU, the guys are girls are all similar. All the boys wear the same clothes, and do the same activities...while the girls all go tanning and are obnoxious. Its like the college scenes you see in movies!

Average cost

I think that the cost of transportation around campus is normal. The buses are free to get from one side of campus to the other and also to get around town. The taxis are normal, but all taxis are pretty expensive.
