University of Northern Iowa Top Questions

I think that this is a school for all types of people to attend. There is something for everyone and I feel that if you do not want to continue on after high school then college is not for you.

Anybody could attend this school, it's a great campus with an amazing staff dedicated to the student.

Someone who shouldn't attend this school would be someone who is looking for the big city experience with fast-paced social life. The Univeristy of Northern Iowa is a smaller state school in which academics are the primary focus. Cedar Falls, Iowa has no downtown with mile-high skyscrapers or freeway systems that cause hour-long commutes. What Cedar Falls does have is one of the best bike trail systems in the state, as well as, a traditional "main street" in which most of the businesses are independently owned.

People who should not attend this school are those who are looking for a smaller school to attend. The University of Northern Iowa is small in area, but there are many students who attend. Those who are looking to have all classes with under fifty or seventy-five students should not attend. Most classes have around that amount but there can also be up to two hundred or three hundred students as well. People who aren't looking to find a close knit community should also not attend the University of Northern Iowa.

If a person does not want to work hard for something they are passionate about doing, they should not come here.

Someone who thinks they're going to get away with just sitting around and not going to class. My first roommate did that and flunked out the first semester. Bad idea...

Lazy, non-determined, and people not willing to take a challenge should not attend my school.
