Reviews
Every fall, I am reminded as to why Iowa State University is ranked as one of the most beautiful campus in the country. All the fall foliage makes me want to keep snapping photos like an incoming freshman visiting the campus for the first time. Some of the best locations for looking at fall colors are: 1) around the campanile, 2) central campus (near Pearson Hall), and 3) along Osborn Dr. If you want to avoid getting judged by others for taking pictures, there are plenty of photo opportunities at Reiman Gardens. However, be sure to take those photos quickly as peak fall colors only lasts for about a week.
If you’re debating where to go to college, consider going to Iowa State University. Was my college education the greatest of all time? Maybe. I’m not sure. Out of the two colleges I went to it was by far the best. Also, they have a lot of mirrors around campus to take selfies in, so do that, upload to the ‘gram and #enjoyyouradventure
To all high school seniors looking at colleges, tour Iowa State! Iowa State was pretty low on my college list but I decided to tour it anyway. Coming from Wisconsin, my first thoughts were it was a college in the middle of no where with an easy acceptance rate...sketchy. But the moment I stepped foot on campus for my college visit I knew it was the place for me. It's a division one school but the beautiful campus and friendly staff made it feel small. Iowa State was the only college I applied to and I am more than happy with that decision. The professors and advisors truly care for every student and want you to succeed. For the university being in a such a small town, there is so much to do at ISU. From intramural sports, clubs, going to sporting events, joining greek life, exploring Ames, there is so much to do. Go cyclones.
I tried the Iowa state creamery for the first time and let me tell you it’s absolutely the best ice cream I’ve ever had five stars for sure I highly recommend it
I had a wonderful adventure during my undergrad as a Civil Engineering student. I graduated in 2015 and feel that the CCEE department did a great job of preparing students for the work force. Although, I thought many of the general education engineering classes were too large. An added plus was the beautiful campus, along with how easy it is to walk around.
Beautiful Campus, offers a variety of majors and a multitude of colleges. Very helpful faculty and always friendly people on campus, very welcoming and open environment. Large expansion occurring throughout campus in the engineering and sciences. Definitively recommend visiting in the fall when the leaves are changing or in the spring when all the flowers are in blossom.
I cannot say how much that I love Iowa State University. The professors have all been incredible and are extremely smart, compassionate people. There are so many opportunities for students to pursue their dreams both academically and any hobbies that they have. The campus is also extremely beautiful and is rated one of the top 10 in the world.
The campus is really beautiful.
