This is a very liberal school too so everyone seems to be a hell of a lot more accepting of someone else's status than where I come from

A common stereotype about University of Iowa Students is that all there is to do here is go downtown and party. Another stereotype is that is just a small town college. And a final stereotype is that Iowa City is a small farmer town.
