It's very simple really.
Why do you have the ISIC?
Presumably, b/c you're a student from "abroad" that needed other id . . . so how'd you get into the nation? That's what the bars around here ask. It's either passport, or if it's a NAFTA nation or a trade partner it's a DL (aka UKDLVA) or a BC. So . . . they know you have one, b/c you brought it in with you. So they'll ask for it.
If you're not abroad . . . then you'll probably have a state-issued ID document (either DL or non-driver ID). So that's what they'll expect.
I have a friend from Kenya, he had his brother's drivers license from Kenya . . . here, they asked him for a passport instead. Of course he has to have one . . . how else is he here? And there's no "international" barbook . . .
Surprisingly, you'll have better luck with a 'real' id, or one rep'ing a state id . . . try a state-issued ID, i guarantee a 10x better result. Now, I'm in boston - where IDs are regularly checked . . . those such as IowaHawkeye can explain to you that this isn't the way it is at 'real' colleges, but that's the way it goes. ISICs are useless here, I promise you. If it works for you, SXcard, at Louisville that's phat as hell - but you'll get nowhere here with it, i've seen friends try. That's why it costs b/w 1 and 2 c's for an id . . .
Either way - probably if you're in a region where it's an issue, be very careful - it can be a bigtime penalty if you do things the wrong way - discretion is the better part of valor, remember.
