Most of my teachers have been quality. Of course, there are a few that I really don’t know how they keep their jobs. For the most part, I’ve been happy with the teachers.

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?

"It has been great so far. I have met some people with whom I have created lifelong friendships. I would not trade my time at ISU for anything." |
|
"My overall experience so far has been great! Other than the fact that tuition is expensive, I don’t think I’d like it this well anywhere else." |
|
"I think ISU is great. The campus is nice, and the school gives you a chance to challenge yourself. College is what you make of it. You can make it a fun place to learn, with the right attitude." |
|
"Iowa State University is amazing. It is everything I want in a college. I transferred in from a smaller public school, and Iowa State is the perfect size! I love it here." |
|
"Campus itself is beautiful, especially in the summer, when the flowers are blooming. There are trees, rabbits, and other wildlife everywhere. I love it! I hate campuses that look like cities with only buildings and parking lots. ISU is definitely not like that. I have visited several different schools and couldn’t have asked for a better campus." |
