With so many colleges to choose from, many will say that they do not regret coming to ISU. ISU is a university that is able to give students so many opportunities to grow and experience things that they may not have experienced elsewhere. The social scene is outstanding and guarantees students a great time on the weekends. even for the students who do not enjoy going out, there are many other options that ISU provides. even when students see the dreadful parking situation or experience the erratic weather, they still are proud to be an ISU student. The amount of extracurricular activities that are offered also help to mold a student into a successful adult after graduation. ISU provides its students with many networking devices for life after college.
Academically, ISU provides students with a well-rounded education and prepares them for the real world. Teachers dedicate themselves to their classes and make certain that their students understand the content. From the outside, ISU may seem like a very
typical state university, but once you experience it, you come to understand that ISU is one of the most unique
universities around.
