A Unicycle Club! Try not to Laugh...

Introduction
Advice: go here if you want a bigger campus and larger classes (easier to skip, though that can come back to bite you on the ass, so watch it.) Just don't expect (L)ames to be a very exciting place to live. Plenty of keggers, but if you ever want to do something remotely interesting while you're sober, go somewhere else. Stay away if you don't like snobs, cause there are a lot of them --at least in the suites. Just live in a real dorm, pansy.

Campus Life and Social Life
Partying, partying, and more partying. Which is goddamn awesome if you've got a fun crew to party with. Anything at a frat house is bound to be lame...unless you like wearing togas and flirting with brainless guys/slutty bitches. Football games are big. You don't have to know shit about the game to paint your face up and go scream like a maniac. Oh and there's a unicycle club. If you join, please be careful going down flights of stairs. If you think unicycles are ridiculous, try your damnedest not to laugh at the poor fool who thinks he can ride his unicycle down a flight of STAIRS. At least hold it back until you're sure he's still breathing after his fall. Jerk. Advertisement
Academics
Psychology is easy. Anybody who claims to be studying psychology in order to receive a professional level of knowledge in the field is lying out of their ass. It's e-a-s-y. If you learned about Pavlov in the fifth grade, you pretty much know it all. But take 280 with Gary Wells, 'cause he's a riot. Engineering is popular, but engineers are nerds. Every last one of them. I was once warned by a business marketing major never ever to choose the path he did. He didn't go into specifics. TA's don't speak English very well. Good luck with that: some are easier to understand than others.

Student Body
Hollister, American Eagle, fake and bake tans, guys wearing pink (knock off, sissies), and your typical emos -- asymetrical (and greasy) hair, studded belts, labrets and stretched piercings, pissy look on their faces. Everyone's pretty much into their cell phones, looking "hawt", drinking, listening to trendy music etc. It's alot like high school. Only big enough that it can't be divided into a few cliques (jocks, preps, freaks, etc). You will probably find your niche somewhere.

In Closing...
I wasn't that impressed. I loved the bigger campus (though get ready to walk, if you're a lazy assn and don't whine about it --we're all making the same walks and no one wants to hear about how it's so hard for you to do it). But i don't get the school's reputation for academics. Maybe i was just in the wrong programs or something, but i've been to community college --none of the work i did at ISU was any harder, and the professors weren't of any significantly higher quality. The food at the UDCC is much better than some other schools I've visited --at least more variety. Parties abound, but at ISU it's all about quantity, not quality. A lot of factors are just personal preference, so schedule a visit and see what you think. If you want an accurate idea of the social/night life, spend a weekend with a friend if you've got one that already goes to school there.
