University of Iowa Top Questions

There are no paper towels in the buildings.

There is too much drinking and partying.

The fact that we had a flood last year, and the wintersa are cold

There isn't really a "worst thing." There are many things I could live without, like early classes and heavy work loads, but you can make your schedule how you choose and fit however your lifestyle is.

The academic advisors at the University of Iowa are horrible! Freshman year each student is assigned an academic advisor that is supposed to have general knowledge about every school within the University, since many students at this point are unsure of their major. I found my advisor to be completely oblivious. Unlike many Freshman, I knew right away that I wanted to be an English major and an Art minor. Knowing this, he advised me to take a ballet class! The next year I was assigned a more "specific" advisor. It ended up being a group of T.A.'s!

I really can not think of anything bad about this school. The classes canbe tough but you should expect that from such a school.

Many people don't embrace all that Iowa City has to offer instead a lot of students get caught up in the bar scene and miss out on real life experiences and living that makes Iowa City such a great town!

I'd say that the out of state tuition keeps increasing tremendously while the in-state tuition doesn't increase as much. I think it is rude of the school to not cut the out of state students some slack since we make up such a large portion of the school population. I had considered going here for graudate school, but after seeing those costs, I am now looking at a cheaper school. I do not understand why tuition has to be so expensive, and I do not see the extra money being used wisely.

Parking. There is not a lot avalible on campus and the few that are can be expensive.

Bureaucracy.
