Group Visits
If you have a group of 10 or more students in 8th grade or older who are looking for a great educational opportunity bring them to Iowa State University for a day!
Visit Program
Upon arrival, your group will be greeted by an admissions representative and given information about Iowa State. Your group has several options after that - campus tours, college tours or exploring on your own. Below is a list of optional tours many other groups have enjoyed.
Lunch
Group members can eat on their own at the nearby restaurants in Campus Town or on campus in the residence halls or Memorial Union Food Court. Cost to eat in a residence hall is $6.75 per person. Payment for residence hall dining service should be made with one check upon arrival (payable to Iowa State University).
