Nice

Weather is not so bad, winters suck but fall is great.

Pretty Nice

I'd say the weather has been pretty nice - quite hot in August, but we are in Iowa. Being as I haven't actually experienced winter here yet, I've heard from students that the big, steep hill on campus can be treacherous, but if the Cambuses can't get up the hill in the winter, that's when classes get cancelled. They did have a snow day in the 2010-2011 year, but who knows if that will happen again any time soon?

It is really a beautiful campus in the fall when the sun is shining... but in the rain, there are a LOT of puddles, so I would recommend rain boots. If you have them.

Rain, Rain Go Away!

The University of Iowa campus is a fairly large campus, with respect to the distance of dorms, to where classes take place. If its storming. windy or SUPER COLD (winters in Iowa can be somewhat BITTER cold), prepare yourself because the walk from the dorms to campus could be awful, but buses do run from the dorms to campus, so make sure you get to them on time so your not late for class! Otherwise, make sure you bundle up or grab your umbrella, because even if you are on campus, you will be doing quite a bit of walking! During the fall, spring and summer the campus is absolutely gorgeous, so a lot of people are outside and walkig around then, which makes up for the other crappy times during the year!
