    Iowa State University has a beautiful campus, friendly students, and a great faculty. They provide lots of extra curricular activities and opportunities to get involved for every interest imaginable, and if you're interest isn't available than starting a club is easy and manageable. They also have a great career service for students and alumni to use for careers after graduation.

    Great college, love the atmosphere and the campus is great. Sometimes feels as though they take money for the littlest things. Classes are good and somewhat challenging and the teacher to student ratio is decent.

    This is a great school, in many ways. I enjoyed almost every class I took so far. The view of central campus is beautiful, and is a joy to see every time someone walks past it.
