The faculty at the University of Iowa is very qualified and interacts well with their students to provide them with a great educational experience. In a school the size of Iowa, both discussion sections and lectures are the predominant forms of learning. With discussion sections being smaller, the more intimate setting makes for lively conversation and more individual attention. Lectures, on the other hand, are very large, with sometimes over 500 students in attendance. However, I have found it comforting to know that despite the class size, the professors are readily available via office hours, email, or directly after...

    Their campus is bigger than some but very welcoming. The counselors and teachers are very helpful and make sure you understand what your major would entail and what credits you would need. Beyond that, the students seem very welcoming, and it's so close to downtown that you can get away from school for a little while whenever you need.

    The University of Iowa has so many great opportunities that come from being a Big Ten University! Getting involved is a great way to meet new people and become a part of the school. Get involved and stay involved is the best way to identify with Hawkeyes.

    The University of Iowa is a big school, but the campus is small enough that it feels welcoming rather than overwhelming. I have only encountered quality teachers and coursework, and there is a very wide variety of courses to choose from. Lastly, there is great school spirit and many great organizations to be part of.
