Iowa State has done so much for me. It's too big to put into words. There are too many different aspects you could go' admissions and working with students, design, Iowa State as a whole, [community regional] planning is a whole different part, my fraternity. There's different relationships for everything and it all affects me in a different way. It's too big for words. Don't put your academics off. Find a good study spot. Don't think you're going to study in your room because there are way too many distractions; find a place on campus.
As part of the College of Design's study-aboard program in Rome, I spent the summer exploring Italy and learning how communities are impacted by the different elements of design. I studied Rome's social capital from the Spanish Steps. Over the course of the summer I took classes on urban form and sustainable communities, as well as a senior seminar on community involvement. The first month of the program focused on social capital. We visited the Forum, the Coliseum, and a lot of the major basilicas, parks, and piazzas. We spent time looking over those and viewing them with a different perspective' as more of a social place. The social capital that goes on in Rome is very different than other parts of the world.
I had a blast. It'll be hard to sum up because I've had so many great experiences.
