For my sophomore year of college, I decided to transfer schools. I went from Augustana University in Sioux Falls to Dordt College. A big part of that decision was impacted by my love of running. I did not have a good experience running cross country at Augustana. I wanted to continue to run during college, so my only option was to go to a different school. Dordt had a good running program and a comparable science program, but it would be more expensive than Augustana. In the end, the benefits outweighed the costs and I made the decision to transfer. I was worried about the extra financial burden, but this scholarship helped to offset some of the extra cost. I am very glad I decided to transfer. This previous year at Dordt was a great year.
