One of the best things I have done at Iowa State is join the marching band. This is definitely one thing I brag about to my friends. The band has been a wonderful experience. Everyone involved is so hardworking, dedicated to music, and enthusiastic. Everything from the practices to the football games has been fun, and I have made many stories and lasting memories to share with my friends.

When I talk about my school, I talk about how committed the students are in my field. We work as a team, providing each other positive reinforcement, hold study groups for social interaction while working on schoolwork. What I like the most about my school is the people I am surrounded with, they provide support whenever I need it.

The school's national ranking. In Iowa for example: the world's largest tornado simulator.

My primary bragging point is technology! We incorporate it into every field - from developing state of the art navigation systems to drive agricultural equipment to making our city buses run on cool new fuel options. Technology is so important because it drives all the other great features - our reputation as a very forward school allows us to bring in the best research, the best faculty and the best students; our future is bright and our minds innovative because we are given all the tools, technology and otherwise, that we need to make change - and make a difference.

It's a friendly, beautiful campus! I was worried being overwhelmed by the huge university but it definitely still has the small town feel! Anyone is willing to help!

I brag about a few things, one being the beautiful campus. Central campus is absolutely gorgeous all year, with the campanile and the lake with swans. It looks like something out of a fairytale. The other thing is that ISU is so great in engineering, design, and science in general. We aren't a lazy party college; we work hard to become the next generation of leaders and problem solvers.
