I am an international dentist, soon going to start my course in University of Iowa. I am looking for 1 bed 1 bath apartment or shared rental unit near college of dentistry from Dec 16. Any insights on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I’m a Freshman at Iowa, currently a pre-business student, considering the Finance major. I’m double majoring and am wondering how heavy/difficult the Finance coursework is. Anyone have any thoughts from their experiences?

How are the core finance classes— which are easier and which are more challenging (are there any SUPER difficult)? I’m not a huge math person (don’t really like algebra, calculus etc) but am fine dealing with numbers in a business application.

Hello everyone!

I was wondering which fraternities and sororities are the most active in terms of parties and events.

Thank you in advance!

Does anybody know what this is class is like? Or whether you’ll need some sort of experience before taking it? I’ve always been interested in learning Ballet but I have no idea what this class entails.

A friend asked me this question and I have no idea so I thought someone here might now. Can a current UI student take a CLEP exam and use it to satisfy a GE requirement (assuming it's on the list of ones that UI accepts like American Govt)? Or does UI only accept CLEPs taken before you become a UI student (either as an incoming freshman or a transfer student)?

I applied to iowa on October 27th as an accounting major, when can i expect my decisions?

Hoping to use Black Friday sales this week - what laptop do you recommend for a non-STEM major? Likely psychology major, possible management minor. Do you also suggest a tablet for note taking?

Is the nitride functional during the fall break?

After visiting the campus a few days ago I couldn’t help but feel unimpressed. I wanna start off with the campus, it felt really small. It felt like all the buildings were right by Capital Hill and was very linear. I visited the museum with the giant sloth aswell as the art museum and those were cool but it felt as if those were the only things I liked. I visited the union center(I don’t think that’s what’s it’s called but it had the hawk store and esports area in it) and it had some cool features but it felt very… bland? I tried talking with a student there when I ate at the dining center and asked a few questions but they were all open ended and she didn’t give great answers. I thought I’d really like uni of iowa and I want to like it but like I said, after the visit it seems so bland. Could anyone give me some cool things about the campus and life on it? I really want to be convinced… and for reference I would be going as a Computer science and engineering major

Hi,

I'm interested in apply to UIowa for my MSW and was wondering what folks thought about their online format? I'm interested in the two year and three year track.

Thank you!

I’m a senior in high school looking into colleges, and I was wondering if anyone knows how good the practice rooms in the Voxman building are? Otherwise it seems like a great school, and I’m wondering if the practice rooms have windows and are good for the music majors.

Will they be wearing a synthetic Nike Jersey or are they wearing the limited edition canyefit threaded Jerseys like the one Clark was wearing last year?

I’m a transfer pre-med and am looking for clubs to join or organizations to join to make more friends!!

Graduating this December after spending several years in town. I was wondering if there’s a checklist of must-do things for graduating students that are not accessible after leaving. If not, I’d like to start one:

1. Back up: stuff in H drive, OneDrive, ...

Thanks guys!

So I’m going to be possibly doing my masters program at Uiowa and wanted to know what people thought of the school? I currently go to a school with less than 6,000 students and I know it will be a lot different of an experience compared to a small school. Do people find professors nice and like the community? Is it easy to vibe with people? I want to get the most out of my last bit of college and just want to make sure I pick a school that has good vibes.

Hello! I'm an incoming freshman at the U of I, and I can't decide between law and med. I was thinking of studying health law, so I would complete a combined JD/MD degree during grad school. However, I'm not sure what my undergrad major should be. I recently got accepted into the Biomedical Studies major. I love bio but it's difficult for me to get the hang of at first. Additionally, I heard that law school focuses greatly on GPA, and I don't want to jeopardize that, so i was thinking of doing a psychology OR human physiology major with a minor OR major in international affairs/global health. Any other majors are welcome as well, and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’m a political science sophomore currently trying to plan my schedule. Would two 3000 level courses potentially be too difficult? I finished all the 1000 level courses I needed and the only couple 2000 level classes offered don’t interest me at all. Also, one of the classes I’m looking at is graded on 2-3 essay exams but is take home/open note. I don’t know if I should avoid that class or if maybe it would be easier? Also one class I’d be taking with a friend so hopefully if it was difficult we could help each other. Any advice for a girl who has no clue what she’s doing would be greatly appreciated!

I’m an incoming transferring student for spring 2025 and am considering doing cob for a sorority at iowa! I’m just wondering what the cost of dues is like because I currently attend a sec school so dues are a lot here. I don’t want to go through the process and realize i can’t afford it. Thanks!

Hello so I’m currently a student at UC Irvine but it is getting too expensive and would like to move back to Iowa. I’m a freshmen and will have completed 16 quarter units of classes. I intend on majoring in business at Iowa but will I be treated as a freshmen or a transfer student? On the website it says 24 credits translates to transfer status but it doesn’t talk about anything less than that. I really want to get into the direct admit business program but I don’t know if that is possible. Just for clarification I had already applied to Iowa but it was for computer science and not business.

Any insight would be useful, thank you!

Trying to plan out my next semester and need ideas for elective courses. I'm a political science major (pre-law) and honestly I have no idea what electives are fun or would help me prepare for my career/law school, if any. I've kind of just been treating gen eds and electives lol.

Is this really Iowa stadium

Transferring to Iowa next semester from a 4 year and am worried it’ll be hard to make a lot of friends? Anyone have any recommendations? I’d feel weird joining clubs since it’s half way through the year but idk how else to make friends besides in a dorm hall/classes?

Has anyone taken this class? whats it like? one of my goals is to learn to read sheet music, is that one of the things this class does?

Hi i participated in COB and did two meetings with this one sorority and got the feeling they liked me. after the first meeting it took them two weeks to reach back out to me to schedule the second one. since the second meeting it has been two weeks should I keep waiting or reach out to them? or give up hope?

Hi I am in incoming freshman in 2026. I am looking at all the dorm reviews and I am getting conflicting messages.

I need a dorm that is:

below $5,000 a semester

a double

clean

bug-free

private bathrooms

quiet

i know a dorm with its own bathroom may not be possible with my budget, but maybe pod bathrooms or generally not a regular public bathroom feel, more private.

Has anyone taken the online French I course yet? How is it? I tried looking the class/prof up on ratemyprofessor but there hasn’t been any reviews on them.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could shed some perspective on this! I and a pre nursing major and next semester I need to take chem and bio and was thinking about probably adding psych a lot of my friend from back home thought I was crazy so now I am think about just doing chem ll and bio together but some of my friends still think is going to be super hard. Any one here who has taken both of these courses before here at Iowa and know if they are super difficult here? Thanks

I was wondering if the U of I had a job board for anyone looking for a personal assistant, or for someone to post that they are looking for a personal assistant?
