College Prowler Take
For the most part, students enjoy their Iowa State experience. Iowa State is a large school with a beautiful campus and a reasonably diverse population. The first year can be difficult for many students, especially those who are not from the Midwest and are away from their families. It can be hard adjusting to college life, but once friends are made, the experience improves. Lifelong friendships are formed at Iowa State. Ames is a town that supports the college atmosphere, and students can quickly feel at home here. Iowa can have a few too many seasons for students not used to such dramatic weather, but students who can survive the first year find that the rest of their time at ISU gets easier. Iowa State is a university of science and technology, so students in other fields may want to thoroughly investigate their fields of study before enrolling at Iowa State over another institution. You get out of college what you put into it. No matter where you are, if you are determined to learn, to make friends, and to succeed, your college experience will be fun. Iowa State has a lot to offer to every student—the question is if it is the right choice for you. Iowa State is large enough to be able to have great athletics and a huge social scene, but small enough that students get individualized attention in their classrooms and are easily able to make solid friendships. Students generally seem very satisfied with Iowa State—and why shouldn’t they be?

I really like the culture on campus and all of the different things you can do. The campus is well-kept. I didn't really have a reasoning for why I came to Iowa State—I just did. It took me a while to really enjoy being here. However, I do feel that I could have gotten an education elsewhere.

If I had to do it again, I would at least take a harder look at other schools. I am in the Liberal Arts College, and ISU is definitely not into that sort of thing—it's mostly agriculture, engineering, and design.

Honestly, ISU wasn't my first choice of colleges. It stuck out to me because of scholarship and tuition. I am so happy that this was where I chose to go, though! I absolutely adore Iowa State. The campus is beautiful, the nightlife is fun and comfortable, and you can fit in anywhere here. If you like to party, there are plenty of fraternities and houses that host off-the-wall parties. If you are one to stay in, dorm dens are a fun place to go. Clubs are prevelent here, so everyone can be in something!

The school is a good school, the town is a good town, and I’ve had a great time there. |
