Cyride

Cyride is great, it will take you out to the mall or out to Freddy Court. It is free to all ISU students as to tlong as you have your ID. Sometimes, the bus will show up early, and depending on the drive, it may leave the stop early. I have miss a bus or two because of this, but overall very relaible to get you to your needed location.

Our School

Sports are everything at our school. People are continually talking about how exciting the game that night or weekend will be. Teacher even will hold off homework for a day knowing that there is a game that night. We get very much into sports, alwys dressing up having white-out or black-out nights. With our sports we also have great fudraiers for breast, colon and ovarian cancer.

Fraternities

I, myself, am apart of the Greek Life at Iowa State. And not to brag but the fraternities at Iowa State throw some of the best parties I have ever been to. I have been to dorm parties on campus and those are not that great, the campus is alcohol free so if you get caught with alcohol there it can be bad. House parties are really fun as well, the best ones are one hosted by older fraternity guys who move out of their house so other guys can move in. Best parties are 8:01 Night the Friday before school starts because that when the sorority girls get to come out and play, VEISHEA of course its a week long party, the Friday of Spring Break, 10'clock Thursday (starts on 10pm Thursday when Greek Week gets over and alcohol is allowed back in Greek houses), and the weekend after the first week of Spring Semester its just like the 8:01 parties. Of course there are really good parties throughout the rest of the school year but those are the best ones.
