ISU has a great salesman approach on the campus, credit cards, alumni, cy tv, football tickets, depts, and hi qual water.
So how is ISU accomplishing the massive growth?

depends on your definition. UI is improving in national education rankings while ISU is falling. perhaps we are growing too fast.
also I have a relative at a UIHC specialty unit right now and holy crap is that hospital impressive. cyclone or not, UIHC is great for the state.

All that matters is kids keep showing up and employers keep hiring ISU graduates.
Have these happen and they can rank us last and AIB east first and I won't care.

Is UW in Iowa now too? Damn, five major universities in Iowa now?! This is what happens when I'm gone for a year.
I went to UI for 2-1/2 years, graduated from UNI. Never set foot in an ISU classroom. I've long thought, if I were doing it over and had been serious about career in high school, I would have gone to ISU and gotten into an ag curriculum of some sort, trying to do good and important work in a key field (so to speak) of human well-being.
Maybe kids today are a whole lot better motivated than were some in my day. Including engineering, of course. I was born into a nation of 150 million people, U.S. population is more than double that today. The sciences are key to our future, now more than ever before. Right?

I heard service is really slow in your living room (is that really what you call your seated dining area?) when you're running the fry station.

What does this even mean?
Waiting for what? And why are there strangers in your living room? You're a very odd person...
Make sure to take off your shoes though, or his mom and dad will yell at you when you go down to the basement.
This is very underestimated and will start to (if it hasn't already) to pay huge dividends for the school's recruitment efforts very soon. The family-focused marketing our Athletics Department does is phenomenal.
Only way I'd show up in your living room would be to burn that house down, but it's not worth the arson charges.

When you look at movie nights and see 10,000 people with about 6,000 very young children have a great time, you can see where future growth may come from. Those kids are going to be 18 some day, and they are going to have fun memories of coming to ISU for the movie, and they will have no such memory with other schools. It is definitely a recruiting tool that will pay off big years down the road.
Like the guys on KGYM say, in this state, ISU comes across as the "fun" athletic department. And this is why it does not sit well with Hawkeyes. Going to be interesting in 3 years when ISU has 40,000 on campus and Iowa is still sitting at 31,000, where they have been for pretty much 20 years.
Growing up near the Quad Cities, I've been watching my friends (that grew up as Iowa fans, and some even went there) post pictures on FB of their kids going off to school this fall. There are a bunch going to Iowa State while I've not seen one photo of a student going to Iowa. Certainly this is an unscientific experiment and the sample size is small, but it was significant enough for me to notice.
I noticed a lot more people wearing ISU gear in the QC over the last 3 years. Now if only someone would open up a Cyclone bar.
I live in the CR area, and this last new years eve party, we had about 5 kids there that are college age. They all start talking about their friends and where they are now. None of these kids went to either Iowa or ISU. I listen in, and start rattling off their friends, and when they mention kids that went to Iowa, they all comments "Figures, he/she always liked to party". They did not degrade any other kids for where they went, just the kids going to Iowa. So obviously Iowa has a huge image problem with Iowa kids.
