“we enjoyed the visit very much and really like the campus. everyone was very friendly. it is not often that you can go on a campus visit to a public school and be treated like you were on a private school visit (after 5 visits- 2 private schools and 3 state schools- i feel i can make the comparison) and that is how it felt on friday.”Paula florey, fort dodge, iowa parent of prospective student
"our tour guide was amazing. he
answered every weird, worried
parent question my dad had. he was funny, welcoming and easy
to talk to. my dad and i enjoyed our visit thanks to him!"
