University of Iowa Top Questions

Describe the students at University of Iowa.

Brett

Most of them are really nice. Almost all of them seem to take everything their doing here seriously. Some of them can be rude though, and some of them just don't care.

Ashley

I think most people that attend this university are AT LEAST middle class, if not, upper-middle class. The buildings are not very old- some are actually relatively new. The campus is pretty and even prettier in the fall with all of the orange and red colors from the leaves on the trees. This is a very LIBERAL town. You can see protests going on AT LEAST a few times during the year. Students do not talk very much about how much money they will get....

Iowa has students from all kinds of backgrounds. People don't tend to expect that here at Iowa, but there are students from all over the country and world and with wide ranging beliefs. Everyone can find several ways that they fit in here. Most people are very laid back and easy to get along with. Friends are easy to make and study groups are easy to put together in classes. Most students keep their doors open in the residence halls so it is easy to get to know the people around you. Students are very politically active on campus. Most active students are liberal, but more conservative students are becoming active.

UofI is pretty diverse. We have a lot of emigrant students from China, but you see pretty much every nationality represented. The LGBT community is also really strong on campus, which is cool. Many students are from the Chicago area (and the surrounding burbs). Pretty much everyone that goes to college is middle to upper class. Many students are politically active, we have strong college republicans and college democrats student bodies. There is also a student government, but I've never known anyone to pay much attention to that. Oh, and this University is pretty liberal.

Juan

They are hard-working students who want to pursue their dreams.

Andrew

Everyone that attends the University of Iowa is a unique and hard working person. I have met wonderful students in my time at Iowa. Of course, there will aways be the slackers and people who would rather party at Iowa, but they are easily avoided.

Jordan

Iowas student body is very supportive of their teams. there are a lot of annoying bros though. there are also quite a few annoying girls. it seems everyone is very into going to the gym to work out. I mean its not a bad thing but it gets annoying sometimes. The girls are good looking too.

Stewart

My classmates are extremely diverse and range from the acedemically oriented international students to the local hipsters.

Gabriella

My classmates are very smart, competitive, and driven, but are always willing to help.
