University of Iowa Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend University of Iowa?

Matt

People who aren't willing to be open minded about all forms of life. The campus is quite expressive and very busy at times. Someone who isn't into school spirit or opinionated/ expressive individuals would have a hard time adjusting to the friendly and busy culture of Iowa City, on and off campus. Although there are groups that make the campus feel smaller than it is, some students may have a hard time adjusting to the sheer size of the university at times.

Michael

People who cave easily to the masses would struggle to maintain a school-focused life at the University. This could probably be said about any school, but it is very important that a student is determined to do well in school regardless of what others are doing.

Natalia

The University of Iowa can be a bad choice for conservative students if they are easily offended. This is a very liberal campus, and the conservative professors are few and far between. Nobody would really care if you are conservitive, but several comments are made with a liberal bias and could possibly offend a conservative student.

I don't think there is anyone who should not attend.

Kelsey

An individual should not attend the University of Iowa if he or she were not invested in his or her own education. With the large class sizes and challenging course loads, it is the responsibility of the student to complete assignments and readings, and to schedule their necessary study time. The students who fail at the University of Iowa, are not succeessful in time managment and putting the appropriate amount of work into thier education.

Elly

If you want to be in the middle of no where, then Iowa is probably not for you. Even though it is in corn country, Iowa City is a decent-sized city with some pretty crazy nightlife.

Kimberly

Someone looking for a small school setting should not attend this school. Also, some classes are very large, so the student to teacher ratio can be overwhelming.

Jeremy

A person that should not attend this school is a person that is unmotivated and is afraid to ask for help when they need it if they cannot get things done.

Erin

You shouldn't attend the University of Iowa if you don't want to put a lot of time into your schoolwork. Since it is such a large school, you shouldn't attend if you don't like a class size of 300+ people or if you feel more comfortable in a small setting. You don't get much professor/student one-on-one time, so if that is needed, you should look to go to school somewhere else.

Kristen

Anyone who gives in to peer pressure easily, but is trying to stay out of the drinking scene should keep clear of this campus. It's party, party, party here...
