Miranda

The people who should attend this school are those who are excited to get to know new people. Iowa State has so many fun clubs! No matter what your interests are, there's a club for you. I wish I had joined more as a freshman. The people who attend this school should also be academically oriented. Although there are some classes (mostly lower level) that can be easily passed, getting a good GPA will set you apart from the people who skimmed by on barely passing grades in their first years.

Iowa State turns out the best in fields of engineering and agriculture and is great for other majors too, such as business and design and the professors are always willing to help.

The social scene here is also top notch, between VEISHEA and Homecoming, you can't lose!

Iowa State is an ubeat community with a homey feel. The type of person attending this school needs to be willing to meet new people and face large group settings. They need to have the ability to do things for themselves and have spirit for their cyclone teams. A positive attitude and a willingness to try new things is also helpful because the school has such a different feel from most others; it is relaxing and spirited at the same time. A cyclone needs a lot of heart and passion.

Nicole

I believe there is not a right "kind" of person who should attend this school. Here at Iowa State we don't discriminate against age, race, sex, sexual orientation, and what major you are going to study. If you have the right grades, are interested in a program and want to start your adventure at Iowa State University you are more than accepted to do so.

I think that anyone who wants to be around people who genuinely care and are considerate in everyday situations should come to Iowa State. Iowa State's culture is fantastic; I love how people are so kind and nice. The school is incredible-- the school wants students to succeed and provide the means necessary to succeed. Professors, advisors, other students, and faculty all work to enrich the atmosphere and the quality of the education that we are paying for.

Any type of person could ideally attend Iowa State University. If you have the drive, determination, will, and ambition to do your best then you will fit right in. Whether you come from small town, a large city, or anywhere in between, you will not feel like an outsider. Everyone here at ISU is so welcoming and friendly that I feel it would be almost impossible to feel like you do not fit in here. ISU does a great job of making each student feel as if they belong here no matter what.
