Campus was beautiful, and the people are so friendly and welcoming. There are many updated, modern buildings, but also some very classic, beautiful old buildings.
Great university campus. Stayed for a future problem solving competition. Accomodation was very basic. Shared bathroom, no airconditioning and up 3 flights of stairs with luggage as no lifts. Mattress was comfortable and clean sheets provided. Great variety of food in cafeteria. Ask for dormitory with lifts and airconditioning as my friends were in a different building.
The grounds are so beautiful, even though it is winter, I had a meeting at one of the buildings. I have been there several times. Love the old bowling alley in the basement of the Memorial Union.
Visited the campus and old downtown. Learned where to visit gardens and galleries during next visit.
It offers a lot to townspeople as well as students culturally and educationally. However, most staff are cold and reserved
Great school to attend for academics. They have a great athletics program as well. The gymnastics team is great!
When my son decided to come here for college, we wondered what drew him here instead of the popular Iowa college that most students from the Chicago-area attended. Well after many years of coming here for education related activities, entertainment or sports events, I know what drew him here - it's a great school with outstanding academics, beautiful campus and friendly people. Can't say enough about the school!
The campus has a close community feel, yet it was just big enough. Loved that there was a mall area that was grassy and not concrete.
easy access in and out of Ames; friendly people; nice selection of restaurants; good choice of hotel accommodations.
Great place for a basketball game. We had a great time and enjoyed the game. Not real hard to get back to the interstate afterwards.
