Martin Hall ISU

This Halloween, take a minute to check yourself and your costume choice before you head out to any social events. The Office of Equal Opportunity points out that “dressing or behaving in ways that represent an entire culture can lead to generalizations and stereotyping which disrespect members of that community.” The Department of Residence asks that you select costumes that do not tokenize cultures or identities. To see what we mean, watch this video by Teen Vogue: https://bit.ly/3dOp8p6

Right now you can log into the Residence Housing Portal and choose your room for next year! Choose from more than a thousand rooms in any of our 18 residence halls or apartments and pull in a roommate of your choice. You have until March 1 to cancel if needed - no need to stress. Sign up soon for the most options!

College is hard. Classes are hard. Making friends is hard. Asking for help is hard. You're not alone. Please know that it's OK to ask for help.

Build community • Feel supported • Foster inclusion • Create awareness

These 1-hour sessions (virtual and/or in-person) will provide students, specifically those from minoritized backgrounds a space to fellowship and build community with each other.

Campus Life Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in collaboration with many campus partners invite you to join and RSVP at this link: bit.ly/DEIStudentAffinity.

Sure, all utilities are included and we don't have any of those "signing fees."

But the real reason life on campus is better is your neighbors are all Iowa State students, there's always something to do and when you need us, our staff is here to support you.

We're the only place in town that is focused on you so you can focus on your Iowa State adventure!
