"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."

"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."

"I chose the University of Iowa, not only because of the beautiful campus, but also because of the wonderful people who have truly made my experience memorable and valuable."

"I chose the University of Iowa because of the professional and academic opportunities the University provides for undergraduates by having the hospital close and prioritizing academics."

"As they say, the people make the place, and surely so, the people at Iowa make it an amazing place to be in!"

"I love feeling connected to the university through attending as many Hawkeye sports as possible and also feeling connected to the Iowa City community through trying dozens of new restaurants and shops."
