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.

questionHey im thinking of going here next year! Is the house party scene still good through the winter, or is there nothing really to do if your not in a frat/sorority regarding partying? thanks
responseThe years which I have spent learning and educating myself from this wonderful educational institute are really wonderful and memorable. I honestly got custom dissertation writers for my dissertation help. The University of Iowa reshaped me and gave me a better career.
