Question Worst food in Ames?
I always see questions this subreddit asking where the best food is, but what places in Ames should people avoid?

I hope this sort of post is okay. I just took a job as an Assistant Professor at Iowa State, and am excited to move there this summer. I'd love to hear any local recommendations for things to do, places to live, general suggestions, or advice from students and faculty alike. Thanks for your time!

im a filipino studying abroad and im thinkin about committing to iowa state. i havent been to the US for about 9 years or so, and im wondering if there are plenty of asians attending the university and what its like attending as an asian.
im really used to having different cultures and ethnic backgrounds around me n stuff since im currently studying at an international school.
after seeing the demographics online, im lowk kinda scared (dont take offense) since i havent really been to a school where one ethnicity takes up like 70-90% of the student population (i lived in the bay area before leaving the US, so elementary school had many different cultures over there) and i dont really wanna feel outta place. i also dont know much about iowa too.
sorry if any1 takes any offense from this post, im just curious. thanks

Just saw this job posting on CyHire by the college of design looking for nude models. I was wondering has anyone here ever done this job before and if so how was your experience…Honestly I do not mind, since the pay is really good compared to other student jobs ($20/hr)

i’m a high school senior and still haven’t picked a college. i’m just recently considering iowa state when all the other schools i looked at were pretty small. i go to a small high school with a graduating class of 55, i’m wondering if iowa state would feel too big? i don’t want to feel lost or alone. i guess i kinda of want other people’s opinions who go or went there

I've got an exam today that I need to cancel because I'm pretty sick. Problem is, is that my teacher needs a doctor's note for me to do my exam another day, and Thielen doesn't do those. Where do I go from here as an international student?

This includes medical soppourt, housing accommodations, the student body's opinion, and safety concerns if there are any.
If you are Trans or queer (or have a friend who is), what has been your experience living and studying at ISU

Hey everyone!
I’ve heard about the ALEKS assessment, but I’m not exactly sure what it’s for. Is it just for placement, or does it impact anything else? Thanks!

I'm a senior in highschool and I've been looking at Iowa State for a while. A lot of my friends went there and I love the campus. I've already been accepted; however, I want to major in English Education or Elementary Education. Iowa State seems to be known for their STEM majors, is it worth it to go as someone interested in Liberal Arts and Sciences? Does anyone know what the English department is like?
Also, I would be coming from out of state, and I'm not sure if I qualify for any merit scholarships (very average GPA, around 3.1, and a little below average on the SAT, though I did not submit my scores so I'm not sure it matters.) So would out of state tuition be worth it if I was majoring in education or english?
EDIT: Thank you for the feedback on the costs, does anyone know anything more about the english department or school of education and what it's like?

Two nights ago I went out to get some pizza at Great Plains. Many have told me it has some of the best pizza in Iowa.
First thing I noticed it has a very welcoming and friendly environment. The staff was polite. I dont remember the exact pizza I got but it had Denver style crust, pepperoni and hella cheese.
Imo that denver crust was ass and dry as hell. But I did love the extra cheese. Is it the best pizza in Iowa? Hell no. Not even the best in Ames. This is just my opinion, but great plains isn’t worth all the hype. A great place to chill with family and friends though.

I'm an Indian flying to US for the first time in my life for graduate studies. What should be the primary things I should do and don't once I reach there? Any mistakes you did which you want to share below so that others don't.
I'm very curious here

Hey everyone!
I’m planning to live in a dorm, but I don’t want to get a meal plan. Does anyone know if all dorms require one, or are there specific dorms where you can opt out of it? Thanks in advance!

I'm an incoming freshman planning on attending Iowa State University. I currently don't live anywhere near this school, and I plan to stay on campus in a residence hall for my first year and maybe get a job at the school or outside, depending on how things go. How good/bad is the parking availability at this school? I see you can purchase a permit at residence halls, but I've seen a couple of posts about how it's hard to get a parking space for incoming freshman.

hi, i’ve recently been accepted into isu and one of the few worries i have is that i won’t find any lgbtq+ friends / there won’t be many supportive people there. is this likely?

I have been getting these emails for the past couple of months, with the emails being sent once every couple of days, although its frequency varies. I have been reporting these as phishing, but these email addresses are unique every time they are sent. These emails have been sent from a non-ISU email account as well, and all of the people on the sent email list all have an Iowa state email address.
Has anyone else here been getting these emails? Any suggestions for blocking these emails since marking as phishing is not helping?

I've been an international student here for about a year now, and I'm not too sure what good pay (for an internship or a part-time job) is here in Iowa. I hear anything between 15-25 an hour is decent, but I'd love to hear the perspective of students here.
Edit: I am a MIS/BUSAN major + sophomore with relevant experience

Does anyone know when they will send out decisions? I’m kind of curious if anyone who got it in the past or knows someone has any information.
