There are two types of people that go to the University of Iowa. First, there are the ones who skip class and go to the bars because their parents are paying for their education. They focus too much on the ?college experience? and forget about the real reason why they are in school. Second, there are the students who actually care how they do in college. Usually, these are either foreign exchange students or they are students who are actually paying their own way through school. I?m one of those students who has to pay for their own education.

Brittany

The University of Iowa, generally speaking, is a wonderful school, and I would definitely recommend it to any highschool seniors. The good thing about the University of Iowa is that the campus is drowned by diversity, so no matter who you are or what you are looking for, the UI just may be the school for you. However, I must add that if you're from a big city and don't think you can adjust to small town living, then the UI is not for you. Other than that, the UI would be a great school for anyone.

Caitlin

Very social, liberal person who does well in crowds and can stand out.

Emily

The school its self is very liberal, but very accepting to other political beliefs, along with other ethnic or religious backgrounds. It is a large university with a small town vibe making it a good comprimise for a small school education, but without comprimising on any educational value. A lot of kids from Chicago feel at home, while small town farm kids feel at home. It is a good melting pot of the midwest.

The ideal Iowa student is one who is ready to go through at least 2 years of frustratingly menial prerequisite courses. Beyond these early classes, the course work becomes interesting and rewarding. Also, the student should be prepared to fully appreciate the downtown, late-night scene, which is thrilling to people who drink as well as those who don't..
