It is the 3rd week of classes and I still continue to see the benefits of the program that I joined at the end of the summer. I had the honor to participate in a Iowa Edge, a week long program created to ease concerns and ensure a successful transition to life at the university. I have found that I have much more knowledge of different campus resources, directions and locations, and on what to expect in college level classes than a lot of incoming freshman. The website for Iowa Edge is http://provost.uiowa.edu/edge/

The decision to apply to be in Iowa Edge has been one of my most important decisions I’ve made. Because of Iowa Edge I started the school year with at least fifteen promising friends. I continue to stay in contact with majority of those friends and I can always spot a familiar face almost everywhere on campus.

We had the opp0ortunity of meeting many professors, listening to their advice, and really just getting to know them.
