Name: Ross William Werner

Classification: Sophomore

Major: Double majoring in psychology and speech communication with a minor in English.

Where are you from?: I’m from Mount Pleasant.

What was your favorite part about your first year at Iowa State?: My favorite part of my first year at ISU was hanging out and playing games with the people on my floor because Lorch-Russell is the best.

What were some challenges you faced your first year at Iowa State?: The biggest challenge I faced was when I found out that engineering wasn’t for me. I felt lost and was just really frazzled about what I was going to do with the rest of my life.

What is some advice you would give a new ISU student?: I would tell incoming freshmen to not treat college like high school. Looking back, I see that high school was such a joke. Don’t wait until 20 minutes before your tests to start studying. While you may be able to get away with it a few times, it will end up not working out too well for you. Unless, of course, you’re my roommate, who’s just brilliant enough to pull it off.
