If you are wanting to be challange, ISU is NOT the place for you. I am a freshman and am planning my transferring already. I applied knowing it was affordable (for IL) for a white, middle-class person not expecting to recieve much aid. I guess I did not look too much for out-of-state schools with similar price tags. If you are uncertain about what you want to study, taking a variety of classes is impossible. Finding yourself here will not happen. This is a school for people who know what they want (business, education, music.) Also, FRESHMAN- do not live in Watterson if you want to meet people. It is comparable to living in an isolated dungeon. Oh, and ISU has this deal with addmitting too many students so there are students in supplemental housing and they changed triples into quads. Everything in this school seems outdated, though they are trying to fix things up slowly, and they really have nothing on campus for the students.

If you are looking to just slack through college or attending a semi-decent party school, ISU is for you. But if you want to actually feel like more than just a number at the school, you want to be active and challeged, I would say DECLINE YOUR ADMITTANCE and go elsewhere.

Best of luck.
