<p>"wrestling"
ahahaha</p>

<p>Well, I'm very familiar with Iowa State, as I live in Iowa!</p>

<p>I know they have a good Business department, and I've heard their Computer Science department is good (but I really don't know on that). They have a lot of weed out classes, and a friend of mine is going there and tuition is very affordable.</p>

<p>Well, I'm guessing their plants, botony whatever department that is exceptional because some idjits at the University of Iowa let the herbarium be stolen for Iowa State! </p>

<p>How is economics?</p>

<p>Don't know too much about their Economics department, but it looked like the faculty came from some very fine institutions.</p>

<p>Solid architecture school</p>

<p>Behind architecture and engineering, business is probably their strongest program, they have a pretty inovative economics program, but that's mainly domestic/consumer related economics.</p>
