Many of my friends attend schools where it is difficult to get involved in activities around campus. At Iowa State it is quite the opposite. There are so many activities that you have to pick and choose a few of the many you are bound to find interesting. There is never an excuse to be bored here because there is always something to be doing. You just have to find the courage to get out there, step outside of your comfort zone, and experience something new and interesting.

Megan

I usually brag about how inviting the campus is, all the activities that happen on campus, and about how easy it is to meet new people and how almost everyone is friendly at Iowa State University.

Aly

I brag most about our basketball team... But for more professional stuff I brag about how good I feel about the oppurtuinites I'm going to have after graduation. I feel my school is preparing me so well for what "comes after." There are so many things I can currently do on campus to help me once I graduate.
