"The thing I like most about attending the University of Iowa is the connections that I have made. Whether you live on campus or off campus the connections you make here at UI never go away."

"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."

"An intimate learning and social environment, combined with the bustling college town of Iowa City, the University of Iowa offered the perfect atmosphere to usher me through my journey to becoming a nurse."

"The people here felt like home! Iowa City is unmatched."

"At the University of Iowa, I'm constantly exposed to different perspectives and new ways of learning. Every day is a new experience!"

"I came in as an Open Major, and I found that everyone was more than willing to help me figure out what I wanted to do." 

"The thing that I love the most about Iowa City is the fact that it is a college town. You are surrounded by college students with the same ambitions, and we are all working hard towards our goals."

"Iowa is one of the best public universities for my desired major, immediately setting it apart from any other places I might have been looking at in New York. The University of Iowa gave me the chance to be the best version of myself, and so far, that version has constantly been succeeding."

"I really loved 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. I love being able to walk through campus and see people I know or go to an event for an organization my friend is in and see other people I know."

"I chose the University of Iowa due to its beautiful campus, amazing education program, and the outpouring of school spirit. When I toured here for the first time I could feel the energy and love people had for the Hawkeyes."

"What I like most about attending the University of Iowa is that we are directly intertwined with and connected to the Iowa City community. There is no beginning or end between the two, we are all one big Hawkeye family. Because of this you really get the small town (and for me, homey) feel  while also getting the Big 10 experience. Iowa truly gives you the best of both worlds."

"One reason I chose the University of Iowa is because of the amazing medical opportunities it provides. Having a world-class hospital is the dream for most pre-med students, and I am lucky enough to have one quite literally a few minutes away!"
