"I was surprised by how broad the field of public health is and the variety of career opportunities in so many different areas at different levels that I could pursue."

"I love how downtown Iowa City is integrated with the college campus and everything is walkable and convenient. It's a great college town and a supportive community for students."

"I love the way how everyone supports each other, and the professors care about their students. Everyone wants you to succeed. Iowa is a big university with a small town feel."

"I like how nice all the students and community members are to each other. It seems like in Iowa City, everyone either attends or works for the school, or works over at the hospital. Because of this, it gives us all a connection to each other, and makes us all want to look out for one another!"

"I love living in Iowa City! It's a beautiful community and there's always something to do."

"Not only have I had chances to academically flourish, I have made life long friends with people from all over the country."

"I love the people I have met here, the opportunities that are available to me, and every staff and student's passion for what they do."

"My favorite thing about the University is probably how equipped I feel to tackle any challenge or opportunity that is available to me."

"What I like the most about Iowa is that there's always something going on. Whether it involves student orgs or events on the Pentacrest. There's always an opportunity to do something on campus."

"I always knew I wanted to go to a big school, and when I came to Iowa, I fell in love with the campus. I looked into Iowa because of its amazing programs, but I had no idea I would be obsessed with it after my first visit. I really enjoy how Iowa City is right across the street from campus, and it is a smaller city with so much to offer!"

"I loved the University had the "Big 10 energy," but is also one of the smaller Big 10 schools."
