University of Northern Iowa Top Questions

The University of Northern Iowa is a great place to go if you would like to feel like you're actually at a college but it's not too big that you're overwhelmed. The layout of the buildings on campus just makes sense and it doesnt take more than 10 minutes to get from one end of campus to the other. Also the dining center food is usually pretty good because there are a lot of options.

We have great school spirit and just an overwhelming atmosphere on campus. There are a ton of activities to get involved with and it's easy to meet people.

I let all my friends know that it only takes around ten minutes to walk all the way across campus, I know all of my professors personally, and I'm part of a great golf team. Most of my friends go to bigger schools where it takes them half an hour to get to class, whereas at the University of Northern Iowa it usually takes me five minutes to get to any of my classes. I don't waste time walking everywhere and I have more time to do other things. The campus is beautiful as well.

When I talk about UNI with my friends I tell them about the small class sizes and how the professors really get to know you personally. The enviroment here is warm and inviting to everyone. The athletics at UNI are another thing I brag about, telling them how much fun it is to attend a football game in the UNI-Dome or to sit in the front frow cheering on the basketball team. It's hard to just say one or two things about UNI and how much I love it when bragging to my friends.

That it is a good school where the professors are awesome. They are so helpful and willing to get to know you. They like to share stories about how they use their schooling in the real world, so you are not just sitting there thinking what will this ever be used for.

The beautiful campus and how well it's maintained, as well as the fantastic events going on at any given time; there's never a moment of boredom on campus, and there's always something for everyone. In addition, everyone I talk to on campus agrees that we have brilliant professors, and there are very few classes that don't hold some kind of interest.

How small the classes are and how well I know the teachers. Also, how many people I meet through the various activites, classes and dormitory halls. Another awesome plus is how the campus isn't too small OR too big -- the furthest walk you would have to make is 10 minutes tops! It is also the cheapest major public university in Iowa, but with the same quality education. Its not too far from home and Cedar Falls is an awesome host city. I also love the free tutoring offered.

UNI 2010 Basketball team won an ESPY for the best upset game of the year. I met some students from University of Kansas while on vacation in the Bahamas and when I revealed what school I attended, a very lively conversation and debate ensued.

The campus is not too small or big. There is a strong sense of school pride here. We are strong academically and through our sports. The campus is small in a good way and the living arrangements on and off campus are really good. There is a lot of food options and the food isnt that bad.

It is know for its Teacher Education program.
