Austin
Party school! Lots of Asians. Unsafe campus for women.
Seth
The college is located in the middle of a corn field. There's nothing to do but pick corn. Iowa Students are either corn fed iowans or upscale chi-towners
Kevin
You always hear "Iowa is all corn fields" or "all of the students are farmers" or even "Iowa has a college?".
abbie
Drink a lot, party a lot.

Everyone asks me what there is to do here besides going out to party. The truth of the matter is that, yes, there are many bars and house parties so you can expect to see drunk people every night. Even though a large amount of students like to drink, this is an academically strong environment. Iowa is, after all, the foundation of education and it lives up to its expectations, so you are surrounded by a lot of very intelligent individuals. This is a very liberal school too so everyone seems to be a hell of a lot more accepting of someone else's status than where I come from

A common stereotype about University of Iowa Students is that all there is to do here is go downtown and party. Another stereotype is that is just a small town college. And a final stereotype is that Iowa City is a small farmer town.
Megan
Liberals, drunkards, sports-enthusiasts
Sierra
Iowa students love to party and get drunk every night, wearing skimpy clothes in the dead of winter, hypothermia be damned.Fake ID's are easy to get.
Holly
University of Iowa is a party school. People say we don't know how to study, and that the classes are easy.
Katya
People party a lot.
Kate
I think that a big stereotype is that all we do is party and go out to the bars. Also, that the students from Illinois that go here are only doing so because they could not get into the University of Illinois.
Holly
It's a bit of a party school, but the education you will receive is fabulous.
Shelby
Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Great educational environment.
Megan
I would say there are stereotypes about the school being hard because it is a top ten school. The stereotype surrouding Iowa students is that their tolerance levels are some of the highest in the country.
Brandon
That all Iowa students do is party
Whitney
They're all wasted and superficial. Chicago's deposit for the rich and the poor.
Kristin
The biggest stereotype is that this is a HUGE party campus and everyone spends the majority of their time drunk and/or in bars. There is also the one about how there isn't anything to do because this is Iowa...you're surrounded by corn.
