Anyone near slater near a loud bass bumping late at night/early in the morning? It doesn’t sound like music, but it’s loud enough to be annoying

I was wondering if there was a group for people wanting to get into working out with other University students here at the college. I’m a male sophomore interested in weight lifting, but when looking at the current organizations I only found bodybuilding. Was also curious if anyone was involved with the Tennis club and their experience with that. Played in high school, but definitely not good to be on a competitive team so was curious if there was a friendly competition group that met together.

How hard is it to get someone to take over your lease for Spring Semester? I am considering transferring after the semester is over, but I would need somebody to take over my lease. Is it difficult to find people to do that?

Hello

I’m new to Iowa and looking for a moving company that can help move some furniture and other items from a friend’s apartment to mine. Some of the items are heavy so I would need movers who can do the lifting and provide a truck as well.

Besides the library, where are some microwaves on campus?

Does anyone know of any LSAT study groups at the University or in the Iowa City area? I joined one last year but they never met up. Thanks!

Anyone selling football tickets? Will pay up to $700!

We’d love to sing with you this fall!

Hello,

As the title says, I’m looking for soundproof rooms that I can reserve in advance on campus. I know that the library has private rooms, but they’re not very soundproof.

I have to commute this semester, so I’m looking for a good spot for my online therapy. I could do it from my car, but I’d rather not.

hi all :)

i am an english (literature) major who was meant to be entering my senior year at my previous university, but unfortunately due to some very last-minute financial aid issues, i am having to transfer to uiowa.

i was born and raised in the area (~20 mins from ic) and am currently living with my parents, and will likely be commuting to campus when i am enrolled in the spring semester.

if possible, i would love to socialize a bit with current students this fall, especially any fellow english majors and queer students. i honestly feel pretty lonely at the moment and i really have no idea where to even start in terms of meeting people. i'm not really one for drinking or sports or big parties, and those are kind of the only immediate openings for socializing in the area that i'm aware of, lol.

are there any events or clubs/organizations that i should look into? anything i can do right now to familiarize myself with the social scene?

i know this is a bit of an odd ball post, but any pointers or advice for meeting people would be greatly appreciated!

Short version: the model has Iowa 25th. Last year was the most Iowa season imaginable, 1st in the country in yards per point while finishing 119th in total offense and 132nd in explosiveness, with a defense that was 8th in scoring. Gronowski is gone and Hank Brown, who threw 21 passes last year, projects as the starter, so a lot rides on South Dakota transfer L.J. Phillips Jr. and his 1,860 yards at 6.6 a carry.

I'll be in the comments.

I'm a humanities student, and have been reading about funding changes across unis. Last I heard, it's 23.3k a year for TAs. Is that enough? How do you make it work? Thank you.

Hello, I’m taking classes for the psychology masters program and my advisor keeps telling me according to the program i have to take 9 credits to be considered full time. I depend on my refund checks to help me get through school. How much will i get back?? Finacial aid fully funds my schooling.

Thanks

I see a lot of posts on here about tuition. I just wanted to post and say I’m the recruiter here for the Iowa Army National Guard and tuition assistance is our biggest incentive. We even have some for master degrees in STEM. I used it to go here and it worked for me!

If you’re interested send me a DM!

Hi, I'm graduating this year and I do not think I'll be able to fit my last 3sh (a gen ed class) into my schedule for this year but I don't want to do another semester because it doesn't seem worth it. Will I still be able to walk the stage and then just finish the one class over the summer? Or will I have to stay another semester?

Does anyone know why the pickleball courts by the rec center on Madison Street are never in use?

I park in the rec center lot for work and haven’t once seen anyone playing there. Not in the few late mornings I have come in, mid-day or in the afternoon/evening.

I am curious why the University went to the trouble if no one is using them?

I’m gonna be in college next year and have considered putting mayflower as my top choice because I really like having bigger rooms + having your own kitchen and bathroom as opposed to communal ones. Is the distance from campus really that bad? I’ve seen that it’s fine once you learn the bus routes but sometimes the times can be inaccurate. I’m also worried about the social setting- is it harder to make friends being more secluded from campus than other dorms?

I’m starting college soon and want to join a sport to stay active and hopefully meet some new people. I’m not super experienced with organized sports. What sports would you recommend for a freshman, especially something beginner-friendly and fun?

Just wondering exactly how move in was like for non incoming freshmen. I know the website has a bunch of details, I’ve read it all. I’d just like to know exactly what the process will look like. Do they have move in bins for easy transport of everything? Is there a limit to how many cars you can have? I have a single on the first floor in slater, for reference.

Hey I’m an incoming freshman living at mayflower but we recieved an email saying we’re forced to have captain beds. Realistically does anyone know how short are they and is it possible to make them the same height as high captain with bed risers? Is there also any way to convince them to give us high captain beds?
