"It doesn't matter what time of year, what season, or what our winning status is—our campus will always rally behind our Hawkeyes."

"When I came to tour Iowa, the blend of amazing creativity (with our Writer's Workshop, journalism programs, etc.) and high achievements in STEM (such as the healthcare side of campus) became apparent. I knew I wanted a campus that had everything; at the same time, Iowa, being the 3rd smallest Big 10 School, felt very approachable."

"With Iowa City being a UNESCO City of Literature and The University of Iowa being home to one of the most renowned writing programs in the world, the decision came pretty easily to me."

"I chose the University of Iowa because of the excellence of its nursing program, which provides first-class education, real-world experience, and space for growth in the healthcare sector."

"When researching colleges, I knew I wanted a true college town. I had toured several schools before Iowa, but nothing compared to the experience I had here. On my tour, when we stopped at the Old Capitol and looked out over downtown, I just had this gut feeling that I belonged here."

"My favorite thing about Iowa is all the friends I’ve made whether in my clubs or in my classes, and spending time with them either working or just hanging out with them brings me great joy."

"I am constantly seeing my friends, someone from class, or meeting new people! I feel like I can't go more than ten minutes without seeing someone I know, it really helps to make a larger campus feel small!"

"I chose Iowa because it has the best creative writing program in the country, and it has a college town feel with a small campus that was appealing to me."
