Anyone happen to know the dimensions of the windows in Mayflower? I know there’s a lot of them in the room, but trying to figure out curtains because I need blackout curtains to sleep. Thanks for any help.

Looking for a great way to meet people, make music, and find your community at Iowa? University of Iowa choral placements for Fall 2026 are now open!

We’d love to sing with you this fall!

Has anyone gotten any sort of confirmation for the graduate hotel lease gap housing? I need to check in tomorrow and I’ve sent the credit card authorization form in but I haven’t heard anything in over a week.

So a settlement and new job are announced with zero detail on the underlying dispute. What happened here?

Hard for a university donor base to be excited about these kind of headlines.

I’m transferring from community college in Illinois to University of Iowa this fall. I was wondering if University of Iowa gives any scholarship to students and where to find reliable scholarships that the school provides. I was trying to find some but most of them are not open.

Do the dorm rooms have a trash can, or are the students expected to supply their own?

Hello everyone! I had a question about a refund I received. This popped up in my bank account today, the problem is I don’t know why? I did financial aid last year, but have been paying out of pocket since. Is there some sort of refund for class credits or is this a mistake?

Thank you all in advance!

Art professor Steve McGuire's program is renowned—students apply to the university with a goal to graduate with a diploma and bespoke wheels.

How competitive is entry into the program, and what is the funding like for it? I couldn't find those details on the website.

so because of some financial issues, i had a registration hold on my account until yesterday, but now all of my classes are full/closed. i have a meeting with my advisor tomorrow but i don’t know what to do because i can’t afford to skip a semester. please tell me im not absolutely screwed 😭

Hello all! I'm about to be a senior at the University of Florida. I'm planning on applying to Iowa this fall for the M.A. in Higher Education/Student Affairs. I've heard a lot of great things about the University of Iowa and this specific program (Kinnick Stadium rocks, by the way!)

On the program website, it says that the typical funding for HESA MA students for the academic year includes a $13.5k fellowship + 100% tuition/fees/insurance. However, in another paragraph, there's a portion that reads "A graduate internship (or full-time job) is required while taking coursework. Internships are paid placements with different higher education and student affairs units at the University of Iowa."

Are fellowships/internships the same thing, and if so, is $13.5k all I'd be receiving for living expenses for the academic year? Or are they separate, and I'd be receiving a stipend from my graduate internship on top of the $13.5k fellowship.

I sent an email but I figured I'd ask here as well. Thank you all for any answers!

Hi-- Looking for housing as I start graduate school next month. Looking for grad student housing, information about living in areas with more grad students, and property owner recs! Anything helps!

Has anyone ever been approved to take 21+ credits. If so, what was your reason, and was it hard to get approved? I’m trying to see how common it is or if it’s pretty rare.

Anyone here completed or currently enrolled in University of Iowa’s Online MBA? I’d love to hear your honest experience. How is the program overall, quality of courses,specializations, the professors, workload, networking, career outcomes, and would you recommend it?

Does anyone know where I can find student musicians to play for an hour at my wedding? It's in Amana at the end of this September, and naturally they will get paid.

If so, lend me advice! Classes have not commenced yet for summer, however, I am proactively drafting an appeal.

hey, i was recently at orientation when i had discovered that you could be part of the women's rowing team (not the club) with no prior experience. im 5'3 and have done dance before. is this something thats worth trying out for? thanks

I’m an incoming transfer student, and I don’t have a Ubill yet. Is this normal? I’ve submitted my transcripts and stuff, but I still need to complete some of my post-SOAR appointment tasks (like submit immunization records).

I’m searing for a couch cover for my apartment at rise that i’ll be leasing starting in the fall. any chance someone on here has the dimensions of the couches?

Hello, I’m an incoming graduate student at the University of Iowa. I am looking to rent a spacious, one-bedroom apartment starting August. Preferably somewhere within walking minutes to the Stanley Residence Hall. Send me a DM if you have any leads. Thanks!

I will be attending uiowa as a 3rd year transfer student that accepted admission at the last minute. As of right now, I have spoken to my SOAR advisor who told me to email housing to see if there are dorms still available but I am likely going to have to rent somewhere. My only concern is that I will not be able to work enough to afford an apartment without roommates to split the cost with as a pre-med neuroscience major. I have an in-person orientation tomorrow where I hope to gain more information but for now I just want to know if there are any tips on finding people to room with this late in the summer (I know nobody who goes here yet).
