College Prowler Take
Athletics are a big part of Iowa State life. The football team is an especially big part of Iowa State life, and students seem to enjoy attending and supporting the various sporting events. For those who just want to participate in sports for fun, intramural sports leave nothing to be desired. Students from all walks of life find something that tickles their fancy. Students enjoy both intramural and varsity sports, and there is a lot of pride associated with both. Many students also enjoy tailgating at the games. Iowa State has something for athletes of all abilities and is a great place for fans of sports action! Athletic activity is hard to ignore at Iowa State. If you love the collegiate spirit and strong athletic presence on campus, or you want a college that allows you to participate in sports at various competitive and skill levels, then Iowa State is for you. If you prefer a quieter, less sports-prominent atmosphere, you might want to think about other schools. Students Speak Out

Varsity sports are big for some sports, but others not so much. Intramurals are not a huge thing, but many people are involved.

The football team isn't very good, but women's basketball always does well. Intramural sports are intense—everybody wants that shirt.

Great Environment, Crappy Teams...
C-
The ISU athletics departments are all in varying degrees of success. Football, basketball, wrestling and volleyball are all great environments to be a part of. Intramural and club sport participation is pretty high, which is great for the lovers who aren't exactly talented of their sports.

Varsity sports are a big part of Iowa State. Football games are well attended by both students and alumni, and tailgating parties are popular before games. IM sports are also popular. Broomball is the major IM sport at Iowa State and late-night and early-morning games at the ice-arena are common. |
