According to a local attorney the University of Iowa students leave the University with 30% of the students having a criminal record. The University of Illinois only has a 1% of their students leaving with a criminal record. The bars allow 19 year old in so that the police can arrest the students for public intoxication and have this on their record to ruin their lives because they have a simple misdemeanor on their record preventing them future employment opportunities.

Be careful if you decide to go to this college, you might leave with a criminal record.

There are also too many TAs even in your major. You don't want someone teaching you who is still in college. You want a teacher with life experiences. The TAs don't know how to grade papers and are in-experienced!!

I love this place! I was so afraid to leave for college, but now I'm sad to leave for semester break. Our hall is like one big family. Everyone goes out and parties together. I feel like I know a ton of people here and I love seeing everyone everyday. There are house parties everywhere (at least when it's warm out) and you just go even if you don't know anyone. Downtown is pretty fun too. Iowa City never sleeps. I am from Des Moines and I still love Iowa City even though it's smaller.

The professors are pretty interesting. If you have the chance, take one of Jay Holstein's classes. The classes are about as challenging as I expected. There is free tutoring almost every night for students who live in the residence halls. I still have good grades even though I go out on the weekends.

The one thing people tried to scare me about was the number of rapes. Honestly, I walk home by myself at night a lot. Just be aware of your surroundings and you'll be fine. On the weekends the cambuses run until 2a.m. and Nite Ride for girls goes until 3 a.m.

The food is pretty good but it does get old after a month. I am so happy I go here. Even though I am in debt for attending a four year college instead of a community college, I would not trade this experience for anything! It is amazing.

This was a long time ago...my "last" is just entering college now, and if the U of I (used to be "SUI", or soueeee!!!) is still as I remember it, I would love to see him here. Ch.E. was a "flunk-out" major until you became an upperclassman, then there was a loosening of the rigidity. Was well prepared for my career; lot's of good memories.

I'm a freshman here at UI and I'm about to finish my first semester. I really can't stand it here and want to transfer! All people care about this school are getting drunk and hooking up. All the girls i've met are prissy, not friendly, and not open to becoming friends unless you live in their dorm hall. My hallway is quite big and no one ever has their doors open, so no one knows each other. I've tried making friends and going out, but it's just not fun doing the same thing over and over again - drink, drink, drink, go to the bars. The only thing I actually enjoy here is the football - but even with that, you're expected to wake up early and tailgate and get completely wasted. I'm already bored of the nightlife here and I just can't stand all the sluts and tools.
