Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Iowa State has so much to offer that students could stay on campus for a month and be entertained all the while. The lecture series offers interesting speakers on varying topics and is definitely worth checking out. Lectures, presentations, and conferences are also held at the MU, and many take advantage of the events offered. There are computer labs in almost every building on campus, whether you need to type a report or just swing in and check e-mail five minutes before class. Whether you prefer athletic events, bowling, live entertainment, eating out, working out, or hanging out, it can all be done at ISU without ever leaving campus!

The students seem to be more than satisfied with the facilities that are available to them. Students pay an activity fee that grants them full access to the recreation center. The Memorial Union is a great multi-purpose facility that offers everything from living accommodations (there’s a hotel on the top floor) to food, postal services, and recreation. It’s a great place to hang out, meet friends, study, or catch a bite to eat. Whatever your personal tastes, ISU has adequate facilities to meet your needs.

General Campus Aesthetics

I fell in love with the campus from the first visit. It felt like home away from home, with a small town/not too urban feel and beautiful scenery.

Awesome Facilities

We have some of the best Gyms. We have a new state of the arc gym that was just built last year. It includes indoor hot tubs with TVs that go from the floor to ceiling.

SUPER DUPER

Great work out facilities! Hang out spots are super like the library. Could use more cafe type spots, but not in need quite yet.
