I am going to be a ISU student starting fall 2009. I hope to study architecture. I have lived in Austin my whole, so naturally, I am a Longhorn's fan. I figure I should start to assimilate into the cyclone culture.

I plan on getting season tickets to both football and basketball if at all possible. I'd very much like to be there for the games against Iowa(of which my mom is a graduate ) and Oklahoma St.
Yeah, my last visit to Iowa St. was for the "visit iowa st" the university put on for a Saturday in April. It was 70-80 degrees in Austin and when we landed in Des Moines it was 30 degrees and it just happened to snow the next day when we were touring the campus. Ha.
And about architecture; I'm aware of the time that's devoted to the degree. The thing I worry about is getting into the program my sophomore year.

This bolded part needs to be addressed. Everybody in the college of design is in "pre" arch their first year. Then the number gets trimmed down to about 20-50 per program. Landscape Arch, Arch, Interior, CRP... So in the end, it isn't as selective as they make it sound.Welcome to the ISU family - but don't let anyone scare you about the architecture school. One of the best public arch programs around. UT has a pretty great one too - what made you choose between the two? You will put in a lot of time at studio - it's just how it is. Always be producing - sometimes I felt the profs were just putting a war of attrition upon us, to see who washes out (250 in "pre" arch my first year, only ~55 when I graduated. But the 5 yrs in program goes by fast... and I loved it, and now live in Dallas doing architecture (good time to be an arch student, terrible time to be an actual architect by the way!!!).
The weather will shock you, true, but everything else is pretty nice.
