<p>Oh, TourGuide446, what a sweet thing to say!</p>
<p>I went to Iowa State. It suited my needs at the time and was cheap. I wanted to take a six week vacation/study trip to Europe the summer after graduation. I showed my parents that if I did that and went to ISU, they would spend less on me than they were on my brother's education. What could they do :)</p>
<p>I did get to be on the debate team at ISU. Practically all of the high school debaters went to Iowa but we had the same budget -- so I figured that would work out better for me. I could take political science, with a view to law school, about anywhere.</p>
