Hey yall! I’m new to Iowa and looking to move to gold falls apts but just wanted to know the safety of the area. Anyone have anything to say on it good or bad?

I’m moving to cedar falls for the summer and am really hoping to sublease something furnished and with my own bathroom mid may- august. Any advice on what fb groups to join/where to look?? I’m from Georgia and am so unbelievably lost.

hey!! i’m a current high school senior who will be attending uni starting fall 2025 and i’m just wondering which dorms any current students would recommend? getting a dorm in the quad seems like the logical choice because i am going to major in communication sciences and the quad is significantly closer to the communication arts building, however, (and i’m aware these are really stupid things but for some reason they matter to me 😭) i hate the brick walls in the quad buildings and i have also heard that the food is better in rialto and those things might make the extra walk from bender to the communication sciences building worth it for me. so anyway, my main questions i guess are how nice the quad dorms are vs the towers and is the food actually that much better in rialto than it is in piazza or is everyone lying to me?? thanks to anyone who read all that and has any words of advice at all!!

Hey everyone! I'm doing a co-op at Viking Pump for Spring 2025 and Summer 25. I'm looking for housing options near UNI or Viking Pump. What are some of my options? If anyone is looking to sublease please reach out to me. Thanks

I'm considering a faculty position at UNI. Cedar Falls/Waterloo seems nice. I'm looking for any info and the university or the area in general. Is it a good place to work? What's day-to-day life like at UNI? What kinds of family friendly things are there in the area? Just any info you are willing to share would be very helpful. TiA

EDIT: I really appreciate everyone's help. I do have a follow up. I've never worked anywhere with a union. In a state like Iowa, I definitely didn't expect it. Is the union very influential? Any other thoughts on UNI'S union is much appreciated.

Does anyone know if running is allowed inside the dome during the winter months? Trying to find a warm place to get miles in once it starts getting colder out.

Hi, I may be transferring to UNI soonish and I was wondering if I could get the best bang for your buck recommendations while keeping it decent, not a bad area or place to rent. The Quarters at Cedar Falls is one of the most prominent recommendations, anything else? Places to look for alternatives welcome as well. Thanks!

I'm researching many graduate programs for trombone performance in the Midwest region, and UNI caught my eye!

My main priorities when it comes to a program are quality of education, and help from supportive professors. I want to be somewhere where I can learn and grow as a musician, but also where my value as a person isn't directly tied to my ability to perform. I'm not afraid of hard work, but I appreciate professors who are willing to get to know and really work with their students.

Would UNI be a good fit?

Fear of not achieving dreams

So I’m a highschool student, and youngest daughter of an immigrant family. My family is very successful and we live in an expensive area. While we aren’t rich we are very well off and my father is paying for my education/university tuition. Both my mother and father have traveled a lot and have lived in different states and countries in their lifetime. Now while I have a some time before graduating high school I’m looking into college/university opportunities, and just further exploring options. Something really important to me is traveling and getting to explore the world. I’m originally from Asia, and after hs want to go back and live their for atleast a year of two. The problem is my parents are against me traveling out of state so out of country will definitely not work. As of right now, I have a somewhat of a rocky relationship with my parents because while I’m academically talented, my personality is not like the rest of the family so I’m the odd one out. And of course they never fail to mention it. So while I want to go pursue my dreams Im scared of further ruining my relationship with my family. But the thought of not being able to experience things for myself sends me into a spiral. I guess, what I’m asking is what are my options? The two countries I specifically want to live in for a bit is korea and india. So how can I go without any financial support from my parents and how can a foreigner attend university in either country?

Hi Northern Iowa!

We are the Tennessee Institute for Gambling Education and Research, a University of Memphis research group studying gambling and the treatment of gambling-related harm.

We are currently in the process of recruiting participants for a research study investigating betting on sports among college students.

Eligible participants will receive a $10 Amazon gift card to compensate them for their time.

We hope we can get some feedback from sports bettors to try to inform some better messaging on sports betting apps and advertisements. Feel free to ask any questions! :)

Thanks!

I graduated in 2009. There was one old guy that stood by the commons fountain and did a little anti-abortion protest by himself. Does he still hang out there? Any good protests lately?

So I recently took a visit to campus and loved it. but I was wondering how hands on are most of the classes at the university?

Hello, fellow students! I'm looking at moving into a house next year with my flatmates. One problem is that we are all girls, so we are worried about our security/safety. We have been looking into getting a camera doorbell to put outside our front door for the time being - I have looked at the Ring one, but apparently, you have to pay a fee to keep the footage, which we won't be able to afford. I have also come across the Eufy Video Doorbell. Does anyone else have security outside their accommodation, or is it just us being paranoid?

I’m transferring here in the fall and am used to going out to parties on the weekends. I’m not expecting to get into a party my first week there but was wondering how exclusive the parties get?

How busy is Rod Library on Sunday nights, say after 9pm?

Hi,

I had to create a social media site and website for my digital media class with the point being to teach us how to interact with people through social media, I created a food blog. As the end of the semester approaches I need 100 followers to get a good grade, I will of course follow you back and then after the end of the semester IDC if you want to unfollow lol. The Instagram link is https://www.instagram.com/eatsandbeats101/ or just EatsandBeats101 on Instagram!

Id' really appreciate any help on this, Thank you!!!

Anyone feel like the professors treat students like a bother? I'm feeling absolutely hated by the profs in McCollum. Their lectures are all the same "flipped" classroom experience and I have noone to get decent feedback on content with. I go during office hours and it's like talking to a wall where they check their watch or clock and I get barebones answers over 5 practice questions.

It just feels like their's a lack of analogies, energy, inspiration, and discussion.

I don't know if the other schools (Business, Art, etc.) are the same way but I'm feeling just burned out, uninspired, and that they're questioning why I'm even doing the bio/biochem major every time I come in during office hours.

Just need to vent, let me know what you think ig.

Currently thinking about getting a new degree for secured job. Tried the keywords and found nothing about these two programs here.

Pretty excited for the football game today! Always a competitive game, I think UNI gets the W today!
