Hey guys I've been a lifelong Cyclone fan and just graduated high school and proud to say that I will be enrolling at Iowa State this fall. Just wondering if I could get some advice or input on what to expect with everything. I live about 45 minutes from Ames and have been to many sporting events and visited last fall so I know what to expect with that stuff but feel free to post some good advice or whatever. Thanks!


If I had to do it all over again, I would have been more involved in the community/ISU events. I focused too heavily on house parties/drinking games. Find a balance.

1.) Once you get your fall class schedule, walk yourself through an imaginary day across campus. In other words, walk from classroom to classroom, library, dining centers, etc. so you can figure out the most effective way of getting from point A to point B.

2.) Be nice to graduate students who are your TAs.

3.) Balance work and fun. As said before: it goes way faster than you realize. In fact, most of life does.
