Hands down, the creative writing programs here (and surrounding writing community) are the best thing about this school.

Morgan

The best thing about Iowa is all of the opportunities that the school has to provide. If you get yourself involved and grow connections, the possibilites are endless.

Mara

The greatest thing about my school was that, no matter what the course, the professors were all very passionate and well versed in their areas of interest. Not only that, but they genuinely wanted us to learn the material. This was a wonderful way to spend my four years, because any time I needed help with school and reached out to my professors, they were at the ready to lend me their expertise and see me through the rough patches.

Chris

The diversity on campus. There are students from all over the country and the world that you meet. I learned to see thing from others perpectives. It was a great learning experience and I was able to come out of my shell while attending Iowa.

Jacob

The best thing about the University of Iowa is that although it is a Big 10 school, it feels like a smaller college because there is only 22,000 students and the campus is so small that you have enough time to get to class, yet big enough that you can avoid friends if you want.

Katarina

The best thing about the University of Iowa is the amount of opportunities that are presented to you. There's never a chance to be bored, as there are campus activities on a daily basis. There are job fairs and the career center is always there to help you explore career options. Also, the amount of classes available that you can take make it easy to learn about things that interest you.

Elsa

The diversity here is amazing; students from all over the world attend the University of Iowa. To me, that means more opportunities to learn about new cultures, languages, lifestyles, food, etc. in a hands-on way. It also broadens people's horizons and perspectives about the world they live in and the rest of the global community.

Jennifer

The eclectic mix of people, the school spirit, and the pretty campus.

Rebecca

I think the best thing about the University of Iowa is how involved the community is in the school. The school provides a free bus service called Cambus and everyone can get where they need to get to easily. Everyone is really nice and excited about the school, which makes it more exciting to go there. The community involvement and excitment make me happier to go to this university.

Briana

The amount of campus activities and resources and the walkability of the campus. Also the encouragement of diversity and cultural and artistic environments and activities. Another thing would be the lack of fast food restaurants due toe the large number of local or smaller food chain restaurants.
