How good is Iowa State?

My son applied to Iowa State. He ended up at Kansas State but both schools are similar in high acceptance rates. They both have good engineering programs. At NASA in Houston we just had a summer intern from ISU. He was as good if not better than interns we have had from “top” schools. Look into their Honors program. That will put you in with the top students that are in the school. That is what my son did at K-State. He is very happy there and has friends at Iowa State that love it there too. Don’t turn it down because it isn’t as well-known as others. Go where there is a good fit for you! I am a firm believer that you will get out of the school what you put into it. My son and his friends at ISU have been able to meet professors personally and get lots of help with career advice etc.
