The University of Iowa campus is unique because it was founded in the middle of a small town that has grown up around it. Now the University is expanding and growing out into the community.

Students without a car on campus can take the Cambus anywhere on campus or can hop on an Iowa City Transit bus or Coralville Transit bus to get either of the malls in the area for a movie or to go shopping. The campus is also just a few minutes off of I-80, making it very convenient when returning to or from home.

After spending time walking the campus, and observing the natural beauty that surrounds it, I would say the best thing about my school is the landscape of hills, trees, and continuing seasons that encompass its people. Even though the lives of students are often fast paced and hectic, when I get a chance to observe and admire the falling snow melting off the trees above, it makes me feel as if time has slowed down, and there are no worries or problems to obsess over. Some buildings stand much older than others, reminding me of faraway castles in my dreams.

I love the spirit of Iowa City. The campus and the downtown are integrated and this provides for a great atmosphere. Day or night, the streets are usually filled with people and it can make it feel like a big city rather than a small college town. The people are friendly and supportive of the student community. In the summer, when a large portion of the students are gone, there are many free events such as our art festival, jazz festival, and every friday there is a free outdoor concert downtown.
