Winter is frigid. Bring a good bike lock and bad bike.

There's only one thing I don't like about Iowa, and that is the price of tuition. I had to drop out after my freshman year because of the price. If you are a lower-middle class, B average white student, there is no opportunity for scholarships. The only help I got for the school was through FAFSA, but that didn't even cover 5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the tuition. The loans provided for someone with my parents' credit were non-deferrable and payments were sky high because of the interest. If I had continues going, by my senior year my parents would be paying over 1500 a month, which is my dad's entire pay check and some of his retirement. Iowa is my dream school, but they don't have the lower working classes' well being at heart. Carl Rove was paid a full student's tuition to speak for an hour and a half, and I don't think that's fair. With the price of tuition rising nearly every year, people like me can't afford a quality education at a school they love, but I know deep down, nothing is going to be done. When someone like me falls out of line, there is always someone else to take my place and pay more to be there.

Iowa Rocks. Girls are hot, Awesome Atmosphere, Bar Scene is nice (not only the popular bars but theres alot of ones that many people dont know about or dont frequent that are fun if youre in a different type of scene). Dorms are pretty nice, apartments can be relatively cheap, yea.

The UI is good school, I enjoy myself here Mayflower is really not that far from campus...Second floor is the the most quiet Ipods are a good investment There really is more to do than going out and drinking Be involved and find activities and groups that you like to beat homesickness. ...Excuse my typos, i wrote alot in a little time

Iowa is a great school, but not for everyone. I would not recommend Iowa to anyone who feels they need a lot of individual attention, guidance, or direction. However, if you need a lot of individual attention, guidance, or direction you are probably not ready to attend college. I would not recommend Iowa to anyone from the area - it's a big world out there! Quality of academics varies widely between programs, so be sure to investigate your specific area of interest before committing. Fire Kirk Ferentz!

Fun place, as a senior I'm ready to move on however. Very expensive out-of-state tuition.

When the weather is warm the bar scene teeters on insanity. Wading through drunks and pushing to get to the bar is common fare.

Go Hawks!

I applied to 9 colleges and Iowa was the last place I looked at- I had my housing in at Madison. Best choice I've ever made was coming to Iowa. Second, studying abroad in Spain- absolutely awesome experience.

Come to this University and get involved. While there are great professors at this University, like all Universities, the student body is truly one of the best in the nation. I have learned so much more from my extracurriculars than from my classes, so come here get involved and leave your mark on the University of Iowa.

Winter Weather Advisory! : The University of Iowa believes wholeheartedly in the overuse of sand, sand, and more sand to counteract the Iowa snow and ice. So bring boots and be prepared to never have clean pants hems. Also, be prepared to never have class cancelled due to weather. Unfortunately, if the Cambus can get around without literally killing anyone, the U sees no reason to save us a trudge through a blizzard. We had class cancelled only once halfway through an ice storm.

Some of the stuff I've said may sound negative, but truth be told, I love Iowa. It's a beautiful campus and I wouldn't mind living here my whole life just to be near the campus. I just wish everything wasn't so overpriced!

GO HAWKS!

I don't know there's so much to experience here, and to put a whole year is almost impossible. Coming to college is the beginning of something amazing. Its nothing to be scared or nervous about. I'm having a blast.

I love this school!

I think i have said enough, GO HAWKS!!!

I LOVE IOWA!
