Best part of being an Iowa
State student: Meeting a variety of people from
all over the United States and world. Iowa State is
a diverse university and I feel so blessed to meet
all the great people who are here in Ames.
Why Iowa State: A family
friend received his Ph. D in agriculture from here
in the 70’s. He brought Iowa State to my attention,
not thinking I would consider it since it was 1800
miles away from home. I checked out the website and
decided to apply. Once I came for a campus visit,
both my parents and I agreed that Iowa State was the
place for me.
Greek Community: I
found out about
Alpha Sigma Kappa through my Peer
Mentor my freshman year. She was an active member
and thought I would be a great addition to the
sisterhood. Being a part of a small sorority is
rewarding because you are able to get to know every
woman on a more personal level.
Favorite Class:
Currently, my favorite class is Com S 207. My
professor is outgoing, likes to have fun, and
teaches in an effective way. Plus, the material is
understandable and I find it interesting. It's
enjoyable to learn how Java programming language
works.
Advice to New Students: Get
involved on campus! I was always told as a freshman
that not only are future employers going to look at
your academics, but they’re also going to look for
leadership positions, individuals who interact with
groups of people, etc.
