Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The University of Iowa has many attractive members of both sexes. Being a major university and having a large student body gives undergraduates plenty of people to meet and learn about. Guys around campus come off as a little defensive—it seems like they are trying to be better than any other guy they know. The girls around campus can be shy, but once you start talking to them, they open up. It seems like a strong majority of the campus is looking for a special person, either for a night or for a long-term relationship.

With so many people at UI, it is in your best interest to talk to many different people. If you are looking to meet someone, the best option is the bar scene—most people head there to meet others, and alcohol always helps loosen things up. When in doubt, it’s best to break the ice—chances are, the other person is going to be just as open to conversation as you are.

Talk about attractive

UI has the most attractive guys and girls I have scene. Our men know how to dress and are ridiculously classy in appearance. It seems everyone here is fit and in shape. Most girls are very skinny and all of the guys are muscular. As for attire, you can tell there are a lot of Chicago suburbs students and rich kids that attend this institution. So many people wear designers and the latest trends. Most of the students that attend UI are definitely well-off and it shows. Outside of fashion, like I said... you won't have trouble finding some attractive people here.

Facts

Social Scene

Everyone at Iowa is really outgoing, so it’s very easy to make friends. Students usually meet their good friends on their dorm floor, followed by fellow students from your hometown and people in class—you get to know a lot of different types of people.

Hookups or Relationships?

There are so many people at the UI that the dating scene is what you make of it. If you are looking for a long term relationship, then you can find it. Some people prefer going to the bar and looking for a short-lived fling.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

The best place to meet people is, by far, the bars around town. Many people go to the bar for this reason alone. You will also meet a lot of people waiting in line for the bathroom at bars. Another excellent place to meet people is in your classes—at least in this situation, you know that the two of you will have something in common.

Dress Code

Iowa’s dress code is very contradictory. For class, a lot of students dress extremely casual—think baggy sweats and Uggs—while others wear jeans and T-shirts. At the bars, though, it’s all about high heels and button-down shirts, even at the more casual bars.
