The Department of Epidemiology at the University of Iowa is NOT the place you want to spend two or more years. The faculty is more interested in their own research than the education of students. Team-work among faculty is absent entirely - professors literally sit in their offices with the doors closed and are very unapproachable. You have to hunt people down to be on your committees. Professors who clearly do and say unethical things to students are never reprimanded. There is little to no funding available to students. Even if you gain an assistantship (which is very difficult) you will still have to pay tuition. Overall, a living nightmare, distant and condescending faculty, and poor academics.
