college move in during a pandemic 2020 | freshman year @ Iowa State University 

i randomly came across the video and saw ur comment. My biggest advice would be to make friends. They do make ur experience so much better and it's always good to expand ur connection. I stayed at the towers in my freshman year and it's prob the best experience ive had living on campus as i made so many friends that i still keep in touch till now. It's also not all that far away from campus like some ppl make it out to be. Stay on top of ur class registration since the spots could be taken real fast and u will have to constantly check and wait for someone to drop the class so u can get in. MyState is THE app for u to check buses. It's really accurate and it tracks all the buses' location as they r moving, so u know exactly where the one u r waiting for is. I always found it funny when i had to sprint to the bus stop while watching the map to make sure i got there by the time my bus came. The app also has other features like dining menu, class schedule, and many more that could come in handy for some. It's been 2 years since I graduated so idk if anything's changed, but i hope some of the advice help!

I'm in the same boat as you haha
