One thing that frustrates me about ISU is that a lot of communication gets lost, since the school is so big. Sometimes professors forget to say stuff during lectures or not everyone recieves a class email... And to counter that, we have to waste a lot of class time to make sure that everyone is getting the information. While I understand that it's important, I feel like spending the first week of classes on things like that is a giant waste of time.

Iowa State's campus gets extremely cold in the winter. the city isn't small, but is very exposed to wind. So when it gets cold, it gets quite the wind chill as well. It's not the moost frustrating bit ever, as long as you're prepared for it.

One of the most frustrating things about Iowa State is its huge focus on science and engineering. I am a journalism major, and Iowa State and its Greenlee School of Journalism has high marks. Our clubs even have numerous awards. However, it seems that this successful school is not well known by the campus, because everyone is too focused on science and engineering.

I found that the most academically frustrating thing was that my professors' office hours fell only once or twice a week, mostly during times that I had other classes. This gave me very few opportunities to ask whatever questions I may have had.

The most frustrating thing about ISU is probably the most frustrating thing at every school, the homework. In some classes, such as Spanish, most of the work is just busy work to fine tune your skills, but some teachers will do random homework checks which forces you to complete every assignment. This is very frustrating when you know you have a larger project to complete for the upcoming week.

I find it frusterating to be cold all the time.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that the parking is expensive

The most frustrating thing about Iowa State University is probably how almost all of us students feel like we get the short end of the stick when it comes to paying for room and board and meal plans, it is so expensive!
Lindsey
it costs so much money

I started at Iowa State University halfway through the year, fully aware that it might be difficult to make friends. It was more than difficult; it made my experience a lot worse than I expected.
