If you’re a prospective student in the Iowa area, you may have been to a seminar near your home town where a bunch of admission councilors came and talked about things like applying for housing, financial aid and a new program called On Iowa (oniowa.uiowa.edu<\/a>). There would have also been a student panel answering questions about student life and rudely making noise in the back of the room during the other parts of the presentation.<\/p>\n

If that sounded really awesome and you never attended one, I’m sorry because I just got back from helping with the last one. I know, I should have warned you all ahead of time. “Warning: Once-in-a-life-time opportunity: ask your own questions of the one and only Dillan N, world-famous student blogger for the University of Iowa.” Once again, sorry.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I just wanted to thank the university for the awesome time I had. This trip was an opportunity available to anyone in the organization STAR (Students To Assist Recruitment.) [I know, “to” shouldn’t have been capitalized, but it probably shouldn’t be in the acronym either. I guess no one would want to join it if they called it SAR.] Back to my more sane train of thought: STAR is open to anyone who would like to apply. On top of these trips, we also help on Hawkeye Visit Days [HVDs in the buiz], serving on panels or assisting tour guides; and with other events for prospective students. I’ve enjoyed my involvement so far, and this trip added a lot to that enjoyment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
