College Prowler Take
There are so many ways to get around the University of Iowa, it is ridiculous. Missing a class because “there was no way to get to it,” is just not an excuse you’ll be able to use. Iowa City and UI provide many ways to move from point A to point B without having to get into a car. The Cambus (“campus bus”) is free for students and comes by every 10 minutes during the day. The Iowa City bus is pretty cheap and runs all over the city, and the Coralville bus runs to the Coral Ridge Mall. Getting out of town without driving is also relatively easy. There is an airport 20 minutes away with non-stop service to many cities, including Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Orlando, and St. Louis. Additionally, there is a bus station close to the residence halls. Students Speak Out

It's so easy to get around campus that you don't really need a car for everyday use. Just make sure you find someone with one you can borrow for a few much-needed grocery trips.

The Cambus is the best way to get around town. There is always a bus every 10 minutes that can take you anywhere on campus. On weekends, they run really late, so you can take them home after the bars close.

Well the Cambuses run all the time...
Well the Cambuses run all the time until midnight, so that’s very convenient, and there is a ‘drunk bus’ that picks kids up from the bars around 2 a.m. It’s a funny bus ride, that’s for sure! All the Cambuses are free, and you will see one about every five minutes. Also, there are tons of taxis on campus, and walking is always an option. There are also buses that go out to Coralville and the Hawkeye lot! |

The Cambus is really convenient. There are different routes which usually come about every 15 minutes, although you can usually get to campus on more than one route. The public transportation in Iowa City is also good, and there are buses that can take you off campus and to places like Coral Ridge Mall. |
