It is not a lie when your campus tour guide tells you that the University of Iowa is a big campus in a very small world. I have only been on campus for a few days and I’ve already started to notice the same few faces as I stroll around campus. It is a natural given in the dining halls as the same people usually show up around Burge or Hillcrest.

However, my very first day on campus-the ever exciting move in day-I bumped into Scott, the exact man in Admissions who had emailed me about becoming an Admissions blogger. We didn’t exactly bump into each other either. He helped my father and I on our second trip up to Burge.

So what I meant to say that while college–no matter where you go–may be scary and daunting, it it just a place with endless surprises and free tshirts.
