Shuttle Stop for Key Pickup at Schilletter Village

I requested the free shuttle for international students from Des Moines Airport to Schilletter Village. Will the shuttle make a stop at the Village Community Center so I can pick up my keys, or will it drop me off directly in front of my apartment? Also, will the shuttle be a bus, a car, or something else? Thank you in advance!

Hello! Anyone know how full Frederiksen Court apartments are? What are the chances there will be availability in the spring semester? I've heard they used to be packed full but aren't really so full after the pandemic. I would really appreciate any information on this! Thanks in advance šŸŒ€

Best way from DSM

I'm an out of state graduate student that's flying in to DSM. I've seen people talk about various methods of getting from the airport to Ames but it looked like Uber was still one of the more popular/reliable ones. Would anyone be able to tell me if that is the case, or have any advice?

Who is he?!

We have gotten to enjoy watching this guy all season long! He interacts with the players and keeps a close eye on Campbell all the while having a blast! Who is he?! It was almost as fun watching him as it was the team.

Is the song "Rise Sons of Iowa State" still in use?

An old alum (Ch E '70) asking. Is this song still sung, or does the title make it unacceptable? It was an OK song in my day. Its chief distinction is that it was written by Meredith Willson, who also wrote The Music Man.

Why the fuck is calc so hard here

Who the fuck is running this course? It is a fucking shit hole. I got a 4/5 on my calc AB exam and thought it would be great to take calc 1 here. The quizzes are long as fuck and are actually difficult, definitely not enough time, the homework's have become insanely long and take hours to complete, it doesn't help when the lecture material is 10 times easier. The exams are nothing like the practice one's. And why the fuck is the course graded on 65% exams that is insane to me. My friends at other universities also agree that it is definitely more difficult here.

people in the varsity marching band, what is it like??

i miss marching band so much!! im heavily considering auditioning for the isu marching band when i transfer, but im nervous about how id make it work with my schedule. i have a few main questions: how many days a week do you have rehearsal, and at what time? how often are you learning new sets? do you only march at home games, and then play in the stands at away games? is there new music for every game? it sounds very fun but im not sure if im quite up to it lol

Campus Visit

My son was accepted and we scheduled a visit through the site for Monday, and we havenā€™t received any info about it. I know theyā€™re closed until Monday but should we have gotten something? Iā€™m hoping the form/info went through and weā€™re signed up, since he wanted an official tour to make a better decision. I know this is last minute to ask, I assumed he got an email, but that was my first mistake!

Has anyone here taken CPRE 532 Information Warfare with Doug Jacobson?

I am a graduate student and took CPRE 530 (Network Protocols and Security) last spring. I found that to be a quite useful course, as I had no prior knowledge of TCP/IP and computer networking. I am now thinking of taking CPRE 532 in Spring 2025. For those that took this course before, did you find it useful? Was it worth the money you spent? What were the homework assignments and labs like, and how much time did you have to spend on them?

What companies do regularly hire at Iowa State for CS/EE/Robotics/CprE majors?

I've heard John Deere and Collins hire a lot but both don't hire internationals. I was wondering what are other companies to which ISU feeds in?

Computer Engineering

I got accepted into the MS in Computer Engineering Thesis program. My offer letter made no mention of being given an assistantship just a $2000 tuition discount. From the website, I gathered MS thesis students were funded with assistanships. Is that not the case?
