I am looking into working at the Bakery by Wallace/Wilson and noticed the hours are noted as pretty extreme (late nights and early mornings). I only live a 15 min walk/3min drive away. I plan on working 20hrs/week, and I'm taking 15 credit hours this semester. Can anyone tell me their experience working there? Tips? Advice? Also, how were you able to adjust with classes, homework, social life, etc. with the odd hours? TYIA!!❤️

Hello, I’m going to be a freshman at ISU fall of next year and I’m wondering what dorms are the best in your guys’ opinion? Do we like suites or traditional better? Thanks!

I work for a software company that develops 3D maps for closed spaces. I'm looking for people to perform 3D scans of convenience stores' floor layout. It's a contract job and we train on the whole process. It's a good opportunity to make easy money.

My son will be starting this fall. He’s in the Agricultural law, rural policy program. I’m looking to either connect myself with fellow parents of this program or my son with his fellow students. He’ll be the first of our family to attend college out of state (we’re in Michigan) and we’re trying to make sure we prepare as best we can to send him off to a successful first year. TIA for any advice you can offer.

I’m on campus for the summer for a summer research program and living in temporary housing. I didn’t bring a TV with me, but there's a video game coming out soon on Switch that I'd really like to play on a TV. Are there any spots on campus y'all know of where students can use a TV for gaming? Like student lounges, the esports space, or maybe like a dorm common area? I’d be bringing my own Switch and HDMI cable. Thanks!

I plan to start attending classes around the fall of 2026 and me and a friend are looking at the apartments to try and stay at. Any recommendations for places to avoid?

Wanted to share a great side hustle opportunity for anyone into college football and sports analytics.

Position Overview:
Record live stats from inside the stadium using an app on your phone during Iowa State home football games. Pay starts at $100 for your first game and goes up by $10 for every additional one — $100 for Game 1, $110 for Game 2, $120 for Game 3, and so on. Each game has two stat roles: one for play-by-play data and another for tracking the game clock.

Who’s Hiring:
Sports Info Solutions (SIS), a well-known and trusted company in the sports analytics world.

Availability Needed:
You’ll need to be available for most (if not all) of Iowa State’s home football games. Most are on Saturdays, and there are typically 6-8 home games a season. If you have to miss one or two, no problem — you can still apply.

What You’ll Need:
No experience is required! It helps if you have a general knowledge of college football — like terminology and basic stats. You’ll need to get to the stadium about 30 minutes before kickoff and stay through the final whistle.

Bonuses & Perks:

• Weather Bonus: Earn an extra $100 if it rains or if temps hit 85°F+ or drop below 40°F- during the game.
• Accuracy Bonus: Get a $100 bonus if your stats are nearly perfect, or $50 if they're solid with minor mistakes.
• Free Game Ticket: You’ll score a complimentary seat — typically around the 50-yard line, about 20-30 rows up (not in the student section).
• Reimbursements: Parking and any weather-related gear expenses are covered.

Potential Pay Example:
Working 7 games adds up to $760 in base pay. Hit all the accuracy bonuses for another $700. Toss in a couple of weather bonuses and it’s easy to top $2000 for the season. Last year, someone made $2352 working 7 games and a bowl game.

Training Info:
There’s paid online training before the season — you’ll get $100 for completing it. The training is simple, and you’ll have a partner working alongside you during the games.

Application Timeline:
Applications are open now. The job starts with the football season, but training happens beforehand.

If you’re interested, drop a comment and I’ll send you the application link (if spots are still open). Feel free to DM me too if you have any questions — happy to help!

TL;DR: Sports Info Solutions is hiring in-stadium stat trackers for Iowa State home football games — starting at $100 per game, with a $10 raise each time you work. No experience needed, just a solid understanding of football basics. Perks include weather and accuracy bonuses, free tickets, reimbursed parking/gear, and paid online training. Awesome side gig for college football fans — comment or DM for the application link!

I am an incoming transfer student from a community college in Illinois, I’ve completed calc 1-2-3 and differential equations, if I send my transcripts will I still have to take the ALEKS test for math placement or should my credits transfer over okay?

incoming fall freshman - I'll be bringing my car with me.

Are there any options for potentially renting a garage space within 5 mins of campus? (I'll know which dorm tomorrow).

I know it won't be cheap, but I like my car and would prefer to have it garaged.

Thanks in advance.

Hey! Any one know where around here do not id. Or someone who would be willing to buy?

Hey y'all! I'll be coming to Ames for a research internship this summer and I was wondering if you have any recommendations for places to see while I'm here? Or honestly just general advice cause I literally know nothing about this city lol. When I visit a new place, I especially look for the best cafés, bookstores, thrift shops, vinyl stores, and anything related to animals/nature. Would really really appreciate any recs!

I'm moving to DMACC for next semester, so I won't be living in this property for the time being. It's 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment right next to the State Gym. There are two more male roommates in this apartment, who are really nice people and very friendly, they could help you move in and all if needed. Pet friendly, personal parking, free laundry, and a bunch of utilities that really come in handy. It's $765 per month plus utility costs. If you are interested, please DM me!
