The best place for pre-med
As a Hawkeye, you’ll have some of the best resources available to you as a pre-medicine student. With one of the largest teaching hospitals in the heart of campus, the world of medicine is at your fingertips. You’ll be taught by professors who are changing the field of medicine as we know it, have the chance to conduct research among the best and brightest, and experience what it’s like to work in a lab or even the hospital. No matter what specialty is calling your name, the University of Iowa is the best place to start.
"I really love how community-driven the campus is. Although the University of Iowa has a large
population of undergraduate students, I have been able to find my own communities
that are also all tied together."
