from Cedar Rapids, IA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Your college experience will be based on what you put into it. I have learned allot and meet some wonderful people in my department and on campus. The professors and staff are very nice and willing to help you if you ask.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be open to many new interests. Do not limit yourself. Join many groups. Stay in the dorms

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

UNI offers many degrees. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. I feel very prepared to go into a high school and teach. My fiend experience teachers have let me teach as they felt I had the skills and abilities to do so. My brother also graduated from UNI and he is in a PHD program at Notre Dame. He said he is as prepared as any other student and better than most.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

This is my 4th year and i have stayed in the dorms all 4 years and the first semester my fifth year, I will student teach the last semester my fifth year. I am in the same room I started my freshman year. I remain on the food program so do not have to shop or cook, so I can concentrate on my studies and sport. I put in 15 - 25 hours a week for my sport and about the same in my studies. I also do not have to pay rent all summer or sublet after the fall semester my fifth year, as I return home for a summer job and to student teach.

This is my fourth year on the food program. Good choices and facilities. My parent said it was the best and healthiest food from the colleges we visited.
