I just finished my first year at DMU as a podiatry student and I thought this blog would be the perfect opportunity to reflect on my experiences and to share any advice for those that are considering DMU, Des Moines and podiatry school.

I am from Pittsburgh, PA, so it was quite a move to Des Moines (about 14 hours.) I live within walking distance to the school, but I will admit sometimes I drive. ; ) It’s really easy to get around, so driving is nothing. The people are extremely friendly too and there is a ton of stuff to do! The University can be described in the exact same way.

Summer is here, the flowers are in bloom and the weekends are full of cool things to do – reminding me yet again that Iowa is a great place to live. My husband and I recently traveled to a few different states on vacation. We had a blast but it also made us appreciate where we live. We could have actually taken our entire vacation in our own state and had a blast. Check out this guide to a vacation in Iowa

This weekend is Winefest AND the Greek Food Fair! I’ve gone to the Greek Food Fair the last few years and thinking about it is making my mouth water – it’s so delish!
