Campus Life impacts students every day. It's where they live, what they eat, and how they engage in their community. Campus Life helps provide the base for the Iowa State experience and a safe, healthy, and supportive framework for the duration of their stay.

Campus Life is split into three departments; the Department of Residence, ISU Dining, and the Memorial Union. These departments work together collaboratively to provide a more cohesive, holistic, and well-rounded foundation for a student's life on campus. 

For more specific information on each of the departments and what they offer, please check their individual websites.
