How much of a suitcase campus it is. Everyone goes home on the weekends. And eveyone has a car on campus. I live too far away for trips home on the weekends and I don't have a car on campus.

Matthew

Better study habits.

Leah

I wish I would have known how much I would like it here. I went to the University of Iowa my first semester and did not fit in. There is always someone smiling at you while you pass here in contrast to UI where I found it hard to meet friends (because of large class sizes).

Melissa

More about the classes I was suppose to take and about my major.
