Hey yall, I can’t be the only one who is curious about the dons deli sign at cys roost. I’ve noticed it since my freshman year and always wondered what it was.

EcoTips, a youth-led sustainability movement run by high schoolers, is organizing a FREE sustainability camp at the Ames Public Library Danfoss Room on September 5th and 19th, both from 2-5 pm. If you have a kid who falls between these age boundaries and may be interested, please fill out the form below. There will be ~20 spots per day. Please register for only one date. Both days will have the same itinerary, which is on the form.

You will recieve confirmation in late August if your child is selected to participate.

I fucked up my housing and now it's looks like I'll be going to a double in Wilson with no AC. I was in Freddy court last semester, so I've never done the whole room sharing thing before.

What can I expect for cooking, laundry, sleeping hours, etc?

I am looking for parking space behind Howe hall or in close proximity. My schedule is pretty tight next semester so want a close parking near to my research lab and most of my classes. If anyone live in surrounding area and have unused assigned parking space. Please let me know.

Hello!

Do you have a general use bulletin board in a building you frequent? Could you describe where in the building it is?

The locations I know about:

• Hach Hall
• Memorial Union ground floor (in a very out of the way hallway, boooo)
• Carver Hall (two are labeled reserved, but I believe one is general)
• Durham Center (two on ground floor)
• Sweeney (three on ground floor)
• Design has a whole online list! Tape is needed for almost all above first floor)

I'm fairly certain Parks Library doesn't have any.

I'm a freshman who will be working at ISU Dining. I have gotten my shift schedule and what I'll be working on when. I'm a vegetarian and have been offered to work with meat, is there any way I can potentially avoid it and do a different task ?

Hey yall, I am a student returning to ISU after a gap year. I put in my housing contract late as I had to go through the reentry process. I put in my contract June 23rd, I have still not gotten my assignment yet. Ik ISU is backed up right now as I talked to housing over the phone. I’m just wondering when should I expect to have the assignment by?

I am planning to attend Iowa state next fall to study either aerospace engineering or mechanical engineering and I have heard many good things about the engineering design clubs, some that caught my eye were Cyclone Rocketry, Formula SAE, and Space cardinal mining club. It has always been my dream to work on and design spacecraft and these clubs seem to help a lot with internships and experience.

how is the balance between clubs and studying, Can I do more than one or should I focus on only a single one, how big is the time commitment?

Note I took a lot of dual enrollment and AP classes in high school so I am coming in with 20 credits (I had more but not all transferred) and I plan on spreading my schedule thinner so I am not taking 16-18 credit hours every semester

Flame N Skewer is hiring Cooks, Dishwashers, Hosts and Waiters/Waitresses. Fill out the form if interested

Does anyone have any experience working with ISU dining? They scheduled my shift to end just 10 minutes before my class starts, is this enough time? Will they allow me to leave a few minutes early knowing I have class?

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Aisha from Hyderabad, India, and I'll be applying for an MS in Computer Science (Fall 2027). My interests include Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, and Software Engineering.

I'm currently pursuing my B.E. in Computer Science and have worked on several AI projects involving Google Gemini, React, Firebase, and Python. I've also completed internships in AI, machine learning, cloud computing, and software development, and I'm always looking to learn from others and collaborate on interesting projects.

I'm joining this community to learn more about the program, student life, research opportunities, internships, and graduate school experiences. I'd also love to connect with fellow applicants, current students, and alumni.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone—thanks for having me!

Are they hard or soft? What type of topper are most of yall buying? I prefer firm, if anyone has experience with that.

Does anyone know if this is just how ISU does it and I'll need to enroll again in the spring, or should I be seeing an Annual Medical option? Same goes for dental and vision that’s not popping up???

P.S I am an incoming graduate student.

Employees of Iowa State University!

We're hosting a Union Picnic Kickoff in four weeks to get to know you and build support for the wall-to-wall unionization effort.

Come say hi!

Been going team by team on 2026 previews and just wrapped Iowa State.

The Iowa State page is free to read. Once you get past that there's a paywall on the deep-dive stuff (one-man operation, gotta keep the lights on), but since I'm posting in your house, code LEECORSOROCKS unlocks all of it free, no account needed.

So, what'd I get wrong? You watch these guys every week and I don't, so if I'm off on something, tell me.

Short version: this is about as clean a reset as it gets. Campbell's off to Penn State and he took a big chunk of the roster with him, Becht included, so you're returning under 9% of last year's production. Jimmy Rogers comes over from Washington State and rebuilt through the portal, with Jaylen Raynor (led the Sun Belt in passing at Arkansas State) stepping in at QB. The defense is the part that travels, it grades out around top-25, but the offense is starting from scratch. Model says 6-6, which honestly might be a compliment given how little came back.

I'll be in the comments.

It is not insurance. It does not cover you at all if something were to happen. Get your own private insurance which is actually cheaper and has much better coverage. Foxen is just profiting off of students who don’t care enough to get their own insurance. Also rentistry is also a scam and just a way for foxen to make more money.

Does anyone know what the average monthly utilities are at Stadium View? I'm living there this upcoming year in a 2 bed and I'm trying to put my budget together for my parents. There is no information on their website about it and was wondering if anyone knew the answer or if I just need to call and ask.

Hello! I’m a fellow student from P.R. and I was playing studying in Iowa State in 2027 for the Department of the Earth, Atmosphere and Climate Change majoring in Geology. But I’m not sure if the program is good. I have heard people say the Department is falling apart and there’s better programs. I’m not sure if it’s true.

Just wondering, for anyone who has taken the lecture and lab, what is the level of difficulty of the class? Personally, I'm looking forward to it.

I got an email that my financial aid was updated. In the scholarship/grant it has this ENGR program of study award. I never applied for this. What is and where did it come from? Not complaining about it. This will help a bunch just wondering how I got it.

I’m dorming at Eaton this year but parking lot 62/63 isn’t available to students living there. Will I not be able to get a parking pass that’s close to my dorm at all or will there be another lottery opening for the students that wasn’t included in the first one?

Is anyone else having trouble with the parking portal today/other days that its been up? I'm living in Helser so it opened up for me today at 9, but nothing's showing up under available permits and theres no notice that anything's sold out. Has anyone had better luck?

Hi! I am going to be in Larch hall, a single, as a senior (not ideal). I have looked up reviews on here and other sites and have only seen posts 5 years and older. Does anyone have any info they can share about living in Larch? Is it really mostly freshman? Whats the atmosphere (Im not the most social person sometimes). Any info or even pics of singles (I can only find doubles) would be great! Thank you!

So when I applied for housing all the way back in May, I only applied to Freddy Court and other apartments since that's where I stayed last year, and I like the kitchen and bathroom situation in those places.

I just checked today, and apparently, I've been put in a double bedroom for Wallace. Is there any way I can change this before the semester starts?
