Not Very Many Unattractive People at Iowa

For the guys, many are very sweet and fun to be around. They're outgoing and good-looking. For the girls, you better like athletes, because there are so many in shape and fit women. So many hot girls and in all honesty, I haven't met one girl who was uptight or with her nose stuck in the air. Very down to earth and welcoming.
