Hi all,
I would like to some details about the physics department of the Iowa State University.
My main interest is about material physics. So if you know the the Physics program please give me pros and cons about that.
I got admission for the Iowa state. I have applied to couple of universities and I'm waiting for them also.

Thanks

Iowa State is an outstanding school for material science. It is one of those "unknown" gems that many people don't know of. Its close proximity to the Ames Laboratory is its big advantage.
