Hi,(24F) I am phd student in engineering. I just came last semester here for studying and till this day I couldn't find anyone as friend to hangout or spend time with.

It's like abnormal to me cuz usually making friends was not hard or impossible for me but now I am kinda of in position that my environment is more people of older than me and they are not interest doing these kind of stuff, they have their own stuffto do so they just run after classes finish. I just want some girls for hangouting in weekends and doing sth fun.

My question is that how you guys made your friendship here and if you have suggestions let me know:)

I’m at the main library and have a super bad headache. Anyone has Tylenol by any chance? I swear that’ll be a life saver! I’m dying here lol

Hi all, My son has been admitted for next year, but we haven’t been able to get there for the dates when tours are offered yet. We only live a few hours away, so we’re thinking of driving down tomorrow just to check out the vibe. We do realize there’s a football game, but he’s not crazy about football so we won’t go to that (even if my husband and I would like to)! How would you spend a day there to get a good feel for the campus and important areas of town to college students?

Hey! I’m a psychology major who is currently trying to plan out my semesters accordingly. I was wondering, for those who have already taken some of their required psychology courses which ones are the hardest so I can try and take some gen Ed’s during that semester to hopefully soften the blow and not set myself up for burnout. If you have professors to recommend/avoid that information would also be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

My friends and I are seniors from uw-Madison and coming for a week to help promote our new app SideShift, we do a lot of grass roots marketing and tabling / hosting local events for the community.

We were wondering where a lot of the students hangout, which bars would you recommend going out at?

Thank you!!

Thinking about transferring to u of if i buy not sure if there are a lot of transfer students or not so idk if it’d be weird to be a transfer? Thoughts? Are there a lot of transfers?

I applied for a campus job a few weeks ago and I’m not sure whether I should keep waiting to hear back or apply to another job.

Non-Trad & Transfer student (M48) I need places to study in the overnights where I can print documents and use software that is licensed to the university(adobe creative suite).

If you are a student, you know how it goes:. Sometimes you don’t remember an assignment until the night before. or maybe you knew about the assignment but had other priorities for whatever reason. Now it’s 2 AM and I need to edit some audio or video footage for my 8:30 AM discussion and my computer isn’t functioning properly. Or my neighbor has changed his WIFI password and I’ve already maxed out my mobile hotspot bandwidth for the month.

Where can I go? To whom can I turn for assistance? How can I print a fu@king document because I’m neurotic and need tactile engagement with my required reading?

Every answer I’ve found online has been either out-of-date by 5+ years, pandemic related, or otherwise inaccurate.

I’m also interested in off-campus spaces accessible after 2am that aren’t laundromats, parking lots or gas stations. A space away from the distractions of my apartment that is indoors, preferably with seating, and has at least one outlet available to use for charging needs.

Help me Obi-Wan; you’re my only hope.

I am visiting my cousin who’s an undergraduate student at Iowa. Being from Louisiana, I’d like to try Hamms Beer, as we don’t get any of it there. Would any college bars in Des Moines/Ankeny have Hamms?

Hi, 27F, im studying for my board exams and spend all my day at the main library. I feel like I’ve been missing out on life and want to meet and hangout with people. You can hit me up if you wanna get to know me more

So I got accepted into the university of Iowa, but they're saying I don't need the math course requirements for high school. I don't understand how that's possible when I am taking four years of math, all honors Currently taking AP calculus my senior year, and advice?

I am looking for a place to study but also eat my lunch. I heard that there is a microwave in van allen for students. I went looking yesterday but couldn’t find it ( I didn’t look very thoroughly). Can anyone confirm that there is a microwave and if so where is it?

Does anyone have a recommendation on where to park for free near the Campus Rec and Wellness Center?

I would be typically going in the evening around 5 or 6pm.

Hi so I was just curious on my chances of getting into Iowa as a transfer only after a semester of community college. My high school gpa was a 2.4 but so far I have a 3.8 in my classes. I understand you need a certain amount of credit hours but they did tell me that submitting sat and high school transcript can help me. Please let me know my chances. Also money is not an issue.

Hi! I’m (F20) considering studying at the University of Iowa for one year. I know nothing about Iowa and was wondering if anyone could answer some questions for me :-)

1. I’ve heard that there’s “nothing to do in Iowa” and that id get very bored, how true is this?
2. Is public transportation reliable? I won’t be able to buy a car.
3. What’s the nightlife like? does it revolve around Greeklife? If it does would I be able to go to parties without being in a sorority ?
4. What is there to do in Iowa city?
5. What’s the daily life there like? I’m Iowa is probably quite different to the UK:)
6. Any other advice/ info you think I should know?

Thanks so much!!!

3.25 Gpa and a 1210 sat

I have a 1 bed apartment available for winter sublet (18 Dec-21 Jan). Message me if interested.

Looking for a woman to sublet my room starting January 1 for the remainder of the lease!

Apartment is on the Northside. Rent is $600/month + utilities. I have 1 roommate who will still be living at the apartment and is a grad student. Looking for someone clean and courteous. Apartment is 3 floors, 2 bedroom, 1 bath. No shared spaces with other tenants, aside from an outdoor space behind the unit. There's a dryer and washer in unit (laundry is free). All lawn care and outside upkeep is handled by the landlord, including taking trash/recycle bins to the curb. Message me if interested!

Just a heads up that residents of Johnson County can vote in the IMU on Monday, October 21 through Wednesday October 23rd from 9-3. College students are allowed to register either at their permanent address or at their college address, so you get to choose whether you vote in Iowa City or at home. Iowa has same-day registration, so you can register and vote at the IMU.

Feel free to post any questions about early voting, and I'll try to answer them. Also, please make sure to vote in the race for Congress, because it's a dead heat, and your vote really matters. You can see info about the Democrat, Christina Bohannan, here and about the Republican, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, here.

I was just wondering what options everyone else was given. I had one option available, Dec 16-20, so I didn't have any other options. I'm mostly worried about registering in the classes I really want to take, is that week near the end of registration?
