Let’s go to college

College rules! You go to Iowa State and for the first time, you are both the only black person in the room and not treated poorly because of it. You fit in great here, and everyone loves you. As you settle in, you become aware of how few black people are out here. Even back home there were always at least cooks or custodians that were colored, but here everyone from the janitor to the dean was white.

First semester is looking good!
