University of Iowa - Overall ExperienceCollege Prowler0.00
College Prowler Take
Most students who come to the University of Iowa are happy with what they’ve found, and few are willing to trade their experiences for anything else. With a combination of solid academics and a college town atmosphere that caters to the social scene, UI students find themselves in a well-balanced environment. Iowa isn’t an Ivy League school, but it does provide a strong education with a focus on career choices. Iowa is not a party school, but its students know how to relax and have fun while keeping up with their workload. Since it is such a large institution, UI can seem faceless and intimidating at first, but this quickly dissolves as the tight-knit social scene among college students presents itself. With a huge variety of clubs, sports, and other activities on and around campus, plus Iowa City’s bars and downtown area, there are as many ways to meet people and make friends as there are people to meet. Students who have the worst experience at Iowa—or at college in general—are the ones who don’t become involved with things that are going on around them. While Iowa City might not be somewhere you decide to stay for the rest of your life, it can be the ideal atmosphere for getting a college education and learning to live on your own. The experience of the University of Iowa is largely what each student makes of it. There is plenty to learn and take advantage of at UI, both in and out of the classroom. Students Speak Out

I have had a great time at the University of Iowa. The atmosphere is great here, and the people are really friendly. I have been to other campuses, and this one has the most outgoing and fun people to be around. |

Overall, my experience here has been a very positive one, both academically and socially. I believe that it is much harder than high school, but I have adjusted. Now, socially, I have new friends and a new environment to experience. I love it all! |

I picked like nine schools I wanted to go to, and after visiting Iowa and seeing the campus, I was so in love! It looks like a campus/college town right out of a movie! I wasn’t sure about going here at first, and I was hesitant about the sorority thing, but I cannot be any happier that I chose to come here. I love it so much! I have never met anyone who doesn’t like it. Even when my friends come to visit, they all love our school. Its amazing academically, on top of having a great social scene. You would be crazy not to go! |

So far my experiences at the University of Iowa have been pretty good. There have been points where it has been tough. During finals week, I lost all contact with everybody because I was so dedicated to studying. But when I’m not cramming for tests, classes are fun. The people here are so cool. Everybody is so inviting and wants to have a good time. The people might be the best reason to come to Iowa. |

Iowa was all right. I miss it more now than I thought I would. I didn’t think I would miss it, but now that I’m gone, it kind of sucks. Wherever you go, just realize that you can make it as good or bad as you want to. It is all your mental perspective. |
