What is your name?: Lindsay Best.

What is your major?: Pre-architecture.

Where are you from?: Iowa City.

Why did you choose Iowa State?: I loved the campus. I think it is beautiful, and everyone on campus was very welcoming. Also, it is one of the few colleges in Iowa that offers architecture, and a very strong program at that.

What are you most excited about for next year?: I am most excited about meeting new people! The people I met at orientation were great, and I can’t wait to make more friends. Also I am very excited for the responsibility that comes with being on your own for the first time.

What are you most afraid of?: Although I am excited to meet new people, that same thing still makes me a little nervous because sometimes I can be shy or quiet around new people. I am also nervous because I have heard that the architecture program is very competitive, so I hope that I can make it into the second-year program.
