 " I enjoyed the school very much, however, I would have appreciated more diversity but I do think it was very inclusive for the diversity we had. It was a typical agricultural school that attracted a lot of similar "types" of people. "

 " The school is actively providing assistances to students (Ex: mental health services, academic support, etc.), and students should seek help if needed. There are variety of student activities and academic resources, be sure to utilize and participate them if possible. College is the best time of your life, try everything and find your purpose. Don't be afraid to ask for help and always remember you are not alone. "

 " I have really enjoyed my time here at ISU.  I switched majors from Mechanical Engineering to Industrial Design halfway through my major.  The staff helped me make the transition go smoothly.  Making my decision to switch majors the best choice I have made in my college career. "

 " As an online graduate student, I feel like I’m receiving a quality education that’s surprisingly affordable. My only complaint is that the classes can be too easy. For the most part the instructors incorporate asynchronous students well into activities and I don’t feel like I’m missing out being online. "

 " Beautiful, close knit campus with everything all in one place. It's getting a little cramped though. There is not enough lighting at night so you could be walking home from class in complete darkness sometimes which isn't safe. I've had people sneak up on me in the dark before. Thankfully they were friends, but if they could anyone trying to harm someone could take advantage of that. There's a sexual assault alert emailed to us at least once a week. "
