There are one or two classes that are extreemly hard because with the vast ammount of material that is needed to be tought, the professor only has time to teach the equations (for example in a physics class) and not enough practice problems relevent to the exams are given for homework / quizzes

I am overall very happy with Iowa State University. I guess the most frustrating thing about my school would be that there is no parking near class, except very limited paid parking that is quite expensive. There is, however, a very good bus system. So, there is not a great need to drive to school.

There is such a separation between Greek and non-Greek life. I find that a lot of it is non-Greeks not fully understanding what we are about and they put us into stereotypes from media and other things when really we have the top Greek community in the Midwest.

Classes required that I will never use in my career.

The most frustrating part about Iowa State is that even with office hours it can be hard to get in contact with professors. Some them are good with email, but others are not. Other than that though I have no frustrations.

The most frustrating thing I have endured at this school has been the lack of communication with the employees and students. Specifically, when money is being taken out of my account for my university bill I do not always get a notification saying so.

The most frustrating thing about ISU is that the weather can change day to day. Iowa is extremely bi-polar, so one day in winter it could be 50 out and sunny, and the next day a freak blizzad happens, and the temperature is 10 below. You just have to come prepared for Iowa weather and dress accordingly. We can't change mother nature, but mother nature can change you.

The most frustrating thing about Iowa State University is the outrageous prices at the on-campus markets. College life costs a lot as it is, so why must the prices of snacks and drinks be incredibly high? As a full-time student without any form of income, this becomes a hassle early on into the semester by depleting my bank account at a pretty steep rate. I recommend to prospective students that they do not purchase goods from these markets and, instead, buy them from local convenience stores at lower prices.

The most frustrating thing for me is that my car is parked very far away. As a freshmen, you get last pick in parking permits, which means my car is parked about seven blocked away. It really is frustrating because since I have a three and a half hour drive home, I need my car at college. In the long run, it isn't too bad becasue I walk to all my classes anyway. The campus is nice and all located in one area that way.

It is very expensivie for me to attend.
