It’s kinda crazy they’re charging 50 a month for the gym when it’s only open 6-8 during the week and noon to 6 on the weekends.

So I was planning to move into an apartment with some friends at Freddy court, but some issues arose, and I won't be able to go with them.

I was roommates with people I didn't know this year in Freddy, and it wasn't all that bad, but it got awkward at times, and I'm not trying to go through that again this year.

What are some good spots and places on and off-campus?

Who wanna get high before I leave for break tmr

Long story short, Completely my fault in a really easy class I got a D, all other classes were As including Aps and dual enrollment. I got multiple scholarships that add up to over 70% of my tuition from Iowa state, my gpa is still a 3.7. Will this affect anything or am I worrying too much? I already sent my thank you letters for scholarships, accepted everything. Again I know it’s my fault just asking.

I’m currently a hs senior going to be a freshman at isu

Hi everyone!

I’m an exchange student from Denmark and I’ll be studying at Iowa State University this fall. I’ll probably arrive August 16, and pretty late at night (around 10:30 PM), and I’m trying to figure out the best way to get to campus safely and easily.

What transportation options would you recommend from the airport to ISU/Ames at that time? Is Uber/Lyft reliable that late, or are there shuttle services students usually use?

Also, if anyone has general tips for international students arriving for the first time, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks :)

My son got his final grade for calc 2 today. Wasn’t exactly what he was hoping for. Does anyone else that took that class this year know if the curve is factored in already or if that is coming still? From what he was telling me a the average before finals it sounds like the professor sucks.

Heads up for those staying this summer at Frederiksen. A friend got his electric scooter stolen two days ago and today someone else had their bike taken. Make sure to lock up your stuff

Do any grads know when ISU will be sending out the photos taken from the graduation ceremony to our emails

1. As an international student, who intends to eat 3 meals a day, should I take the unlimited meal plan.
2. Around when will the online orientation we available ? It was said that it would come late may, but no other intimation till now.
3. For the online meeting I'll have with my academic advisor right after the orientation, how much do I need to be prepared ? Do I make a rough schedule of the classes I'm interested in taking, or would they suggest it to me based on my preferences ?
4. If a class is common between my major and minor, then how are the credits awarded ? Do I need to do an extra class, or will it be counted for both ?
5. If a Macbook M1 good enough for a Data Science/Stats major ?
6. What are some recommend work-study jobs for a freshman ? I prefer something that is desk-based and less hectic, but something that still pays well.

Originally excited to get Friley but then realized it’s the basement. Not sure this is a great placement. Thinking the rooms aren’t in great shape. Appreciate Friley’s great location and social aspect. Understood there’s no AC, but the windows are at ground level. Any flooding or mold issues in basement dorm rooms? How are Dodd bathrooms?

Wondering if I should try for Helser or elsewhere in Friley when portal reopens for “re-assignments” over summer.

Had a rough second semester. Placed on academic warning. Retaking one class fall semester so i’m not worried about my gpa at all (It was an easy A class, my mental health made it hard) Will they send a letter to my home?

Has anyone taken this class (Intro to Music Listening w/ Tam) before and also missed the orientation? Asking because I've already emailed my professor explaining my situation and she sent me an AI template email back and clearly did not read my email. Just wanted to see if anyone has had this happen before while I wait for her email back (and also shout to the void a little). I would be missing the orientation (only) since I only found out about it on Saturday (and it's on Tuesday at 1pm), and happen to have an important appointment scheduled for the same time (which I already tried and failed to reschedule).

I'm so sick of these stupid online classes being listed as "asynchronous" but failing to mention important things like this on Workday. Like this is an ONLINE SUMMER class for MUSIC LISTENING!!!! Why do so many of these professors have ZERO respect for student's time? The entitlement some of them have just blows my fucking mind.

I'm honestly considering dropping, but then I'll have to find another online 3-credit humanities course that doesn't sound insufferable, and I should probably do that sooner rather than later.

Update: Decided to cut my losses and swapped for MUSIC 3040, lets gooo
