    Senior : I knew little about Drake University until I was recruited at a College night at my high school. I decided to visit and I was immediately impressed by the way I felt accepted and wanted by all I met. After some discussion with my parents and some promise of scholarship money to make it more affordable, I made the decision to attend. For me, I can not imagine any place better for me than Drake. I never have felt ignored or taken for granted. When I needed help it was always provided. I got better at college every semester. I have loved it here and would recommend this University to anyone. Its Great to be a Bulldog!
