Iowa State University

We had a career fair, and the business school provides mock interviewing, resume building, and career counseling. However, most students don't utilize these as much as they should, and it is never impressed on you how much it will help you when you start looking for a career.

Career fairs, career websites connecting with employers, alumni networks, etc. In addition, the curriculum is very focused on getting students out into the workforce as opposed to graduate school.

Many employers come to campus to interview for jobs after graduation or for summer internships. This makes it easier for the student since they don't have to travel long distances for interviews.

Good cross section of technical and business classes. Many case studies and simulations of projects.

Now there are computers. However like my class, students can not use them til they know fundamentals of design

I didn't feel like they really providing anything for my major while I was there.

Ames is pretty much just a college town, so the entire community is rallied around the school. The school spirit is high, and there are a lot of ways to be involved (sporting events, greek life, intramurals, on campus clubs, etc.) The people are generally very nice and friendly, which comes with the Midwest territory. Since it is a great school for engineering, veterinary, and design, there is a wide range of student personalities. I had friends from different states, countries, and nationalities, and it's easy to find your place on campus.

Pretty typically Iowan: friendly, nice, ethnically homogeneous. The overall culture is also typical of a large public school with parties, tailgating, and what have you, but the school is large enough to accommodate every subculture that you're interested in.

They are very involved and culturally diverse. There are many opportunities to be involved in clubs or organizations. I personally met many people from many different countries.

No idea at this point

It was diversified when I was there, but with a slight leaning toward farm town and white.

Within the college of business , very nice friendly co-horts, outside of this college no real effort by the university to have the different colleges socialize or interact

We had an active culture crossing many disciplines, not just one clique

there was a very wide range. you could easily find collaboration, or not, as you wished as well.

Very homogenous; far too little diversity

The dorms are pretty old, but they still have everything you need. After visiting a few other colleges, they still seem much larger than average, especially Friley Hall. The dining halls have so much good food, and a great variety. I ate there for a year straight and never got sick of it. The all you can eat soft-serve does not help with the Freshman 15 though. All the facilities I used for the business school were top notch. Huge computer lab with free printing, really nice classrooms with the latest projector and computer technology. Some majors didn't have quite as nice of facilities, but they have already built so many new buildings since I graduated, so I'm sure everyone will be upgraded soon if not already.

The engineering computer labs are top notch. Dorms are hit or miss with some of them being super nice with others which are horrendous. Dining halls are pretty good, especially compared with some other schools' I've seen. Classrooms are acceptable. The campus itself is gorgeous. Also, there are two gyms on campus which are pretty great.

They have a variety of options for dining and the computer labs are kept up to date. Classrooms are roomy and student can easily see the instructor or board. Dorms are little over crowded right now- but they are building more dorms soon.

Don't know what it is now. Was: nice forms with dining halls, home made food! No computers then.

I haven't been on the campus since I graduated in 1984, so I do not have recent experiences with the above mentioned areas

State of the art. Always adapting.

At the time, they were o.k. As I understand it, they have advanced that greatly now.

All of these, greek system, different student living styles

Nice, but some dorms needed to be torn down

I was in athletics, so I spent most of my time with other athletes practicing, competing, or attending sporting events. Football games are always popular, and basketball games are extremely fun since we've had a good team the last few years. Outside of sports, I know the intramural circuit offers many different options, like broomball and ultimate frisbee. It's a really big community, and I think it gets pretty competitive. Greek life is also pretty big on campus, with many events including Yell like Hell and homecoming floats. Other than that, there are many clubs and groups that you can find for almost any interest.

The S&M club is pretty unique, I'd say, though it's not a particularly large crowd. The engineering clubs are quite active and popular as well as the agricultural clubs. Dancing is a pretty popular pass time as well. The club fair at the beginning of the semester will help you find whatever kind of club you're looking for.

I did not participate, so don't know

A club within my specific major in the college of business

Strong Greek system and strong social fraternity to keep students involved.

unsure...was too involved with schoolwork to really take part.

Greek system, club sports, basketball and football
