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!
I am coming to Iowa State for computer science as a freshman in spring 2025, and have the options for selecting Calc I and II both, so I'm confused which one I should go for. Any advice would be helpful and appreciated!
Cyclones in Dallas!
My bother and 2 cousins are heading to the game on Saturday and are wondering if there are events prior to the game or after the game to watch the rest of the championships!

Thanks for the help!
Hey all! My wife and I will be traveling to Louisville, KY for a wedding on Saturday & would love to find a spot to watch the game with other Clones fans beforehand. Are there any existing watch parties that we should know about, or just find a local sports bar? TIA

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?
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.
History has been made today boys, 10 WIN SEASON LET'S GOOOOOOO
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.

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.

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
Hi, how reliable is the ISU group shuttle from DSM to campus? Does it leave on time?
Also, on the way back to campus, does it make stops at MWL, MU etc or does it go straight to the depo at Haber?
My son was accepted and we scheduled a visit through the site for Monday, and we havenāt received any info about it. I know theyāre closed until Monday but should we have gotten something? Iām hoping the form/info went through and weāre 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!
I got the email confirming my acceptance yesterday and I wanted to know about when I should recieve the acceptance letter? Thank you.
Hello Everyone, my son is has hair like an alpaca. Anyone know of a good stylist or barber on or near campus that is really good with very curly hair? Thanks in advance!
i am transferring to isu next year (fall semester) and im very confused about pet housing!! i believe the pet friendly apartments on campus are 1 pet per person. but what about pets that have to come in pairs? for example guinea pigs or small birds. am i just shit out of luck when it comes to on campus? and where should i look for off campus pet friendly housing?
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?
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?
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?
