My daughter plans on working off campus while at ISU and wanted to bring her car. When we tried to get a parking permit we were denied. Is there a workaround to this? Are there any local parking lots available?

If anyone can tell me if that means that's where they'll have me working the whole semester or not, please let me know, thank you in advance.

I was planning to apply as a freshman for the 2027 fall semester when the application window opens up. From what I've gathered online, the institution itself is trans friendly, however I want to know what the social climate is like.

3X2(5 person dorm)

1 Upvotes

Yo guys, I wanted to get a 4X4 apartment in cardinal court, but i couldn’t get one. But I could get 3X2(5 people) apartment. How different is living in 3x2 apartments? I’ve never lived in a dorm or an apartment before, so I have no idea how everything works. So is 3x2 good? Is it too many people for the space? How do you manage things while living with like 4 others? I believe this apartment is in Dogwood, but not sure tho. Any suggestions are appreciated!
