Iowa State University Top Questions

This school is extremely community focused in both the dorms and around campus. The other schools I considered were not nearly as social and did not seem to be as student oriented.

The school and entire town of Ames is extremely friendly. Staff do all they can to see students succeed and are always willing to go above and beyond to help students. There is a lot of diversity on campus of both students and professors which allows for many different points of view and learning opportunities.

Iowa State offers one of the best educations around with top notch engineering, agriculture, science, design...ect. We have a large campus size built in a small city giving ISU the closeness of a small school but with much larger opportunities.

I feel like Iowa State's reputation was the biggest reason I chose to attend Iowa State. I knew I would be attending a college that was well respected in the academic community. I also chose Iowa State because I knew exactly what I would need to do to graduate and get a job in four years. My advisor talked to me and showed me what I would be able to do with my major and gave me goals to try to meet.

Iowa State has the most opportunities of the schools I considered. Many programs have a requirement to do some kind of internship which will only help getting placed into a job after graduation. They focus are getting you as much experience as you need before you leave.
