Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Batch of 2025

A transition to the new environment and culture shift.
Tips: Moving to a new country was quite a challenging experience initially. The cultural shift was significant, I had to adapt to new social norms, academic expectations, and even different daily routines. However, I found that choosing my friends and major makes a huge difference so just make sure to choose your friends wisely.

A good public college with an excellent course and faculty.
Tips: Before joining this college students should know that there is a culture shift as the diversity in the college is very low compared to others. I received a scholarship of $11,000 a year just before registering for the college for SAT scoring and grades. I am satisfied with my university course for the most part as it is well made.
Likes (Student Life): I spend my day in college mainly doing homework and then socializing with my friends. What I enjoy the most about my college life is being able to meet new people from different parts of the world. There are many events on campus, including multicultural events. The campus is enjoyable and is not too stressful.
Dislikes (Part time work): On campus jobs are very limited for anything other than dining center jobs. Off campus opportunities are good as there are many stores and companies situated around campus that allow students to work with little to no experience. Part time work is typically easy to manage as hours can be personally chosen to match the schedule. The average payout for part time work is around $12-$13 per hour.

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology - Batch of 2025
3.4
Many ups, many downs, stressful, but decent
Tips: I was very homesick when I first came to Iowa State. I learned by putting myself around people by joining extracurriculars helped me a lot. Also, finding good study space, eating well, staying fit and taking care of yourself helps a lot. I am decently satisfied with the university.
Likes (Internships): I have not had any guidance from the university in terms of internships. My elder sister was the one who I looked to for guidance. The available internships now in my new college (CALS) are very much relevant to Industrial Technology. Also, my advisors are very helpful with internships.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I have enjoyed every job that I have worked at as a student; my only thing is that I found the jobs by doing thorough research myself & not through help from the university. They can definitely be better at helping their students through communication.

Public transportation is amazing.
Tips: Students usually tend to have an idea of how they want to be in college but most of us go through different transitions in university. I have changed compared to what I was in high school and I try to be equally invested in academics and co-curriculum. Most of the students get a merit scholarship and there are more scholarships, differing based on different colleges and each one has a different requirement. You can track these through OneApp Iowa State and it is highly recommended to keep an eye on it so they don't get full.
I am satisfied with my academics and college life until now.
Likes (Public transportation): There is free bus transportation for ISU students in most parts of the city. There are a lot of buses running on different routes throughout the day which takes you to most of the places that students mostly visit and it is free for all students. There are also rental cars available for students but they have certain requirements such as age and a valid license. There are bus services that go from Games to different states nearby like Minnesota or Chicago which are affordable if booked in time.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is only one Indian restaurant in the area and it is very rare to find Indian food in dining centres. Cooking in the dorms is hard, we do it once in a while but it is definitely easier off campus in apartments. I would prefer home food but since it is hard to do it every day while living in dorms, we rely mostly on dining food or ordering from outside.

College of opportunity for a bright future
Tips: Personally, I have had a proper transition after coming here as the university has conducted various events and orientations to familiarize me with the university events before coming here. The city is culturally diverse hence giving freedom to anyone to explore their own or other cultures. It is easy to receive scholarships through the college website named "OneApp" where different opportunities are present to help pay for your tuition. I have used these opportunities during my time here. Overall, I am very satisfied with my time at Iowa State because of the friends and connections I have made here inside and outside my course. My course has helped me develop various skills, social and technical.
Likes (Part time work): There is availability of on-campus jobs in every department and off-campus opportunities are very well presented from restaurants to supermarkets to different research and tutoring. Depending on the work schedules, it can be easy to manage both academics and work at the same time.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are various options for different restaurants near campus. Fast food, Mexican, and different Asian foods are really good. It is difficult to find good Indian food in Ames. There are really good Indian restaurants outside of Ames, but computing outside of Ames can be a little difficult. I normally prefer to cook myself in my apartments.

A good college for the cost paid
Tips: Transition is difficult for a week to adjust to how assignment submissions work, the method of teaching, and more importantly how the semester is planned. Other than that everything felt easy. I am satisfied with my university and the curriculum here as well. Scholarships are available on OneApp and a lot of them are open to international students. I felt it was comparatively cheaper than other colleges.
Likes (Public transportation): Free public transportation for university students. The bus goes around in the whole city and to a lot of main locations like Walmart, and malls. Buses are on time and the schedule is visible on Google Maps as well. We just need to show our i-cars and we don't need to pay each time. We mostly use the bus to travel everywhere. Overall it is great.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Only one restaurant for Indian food. Even the food quality is average. People with spice tolerance may not have that many options. The next restaurant available is in Des Moines. But they do have many options for Indian food. There are a total of 10 vegetarian dishes for the restaurant in Games.
