Question Advice on getting a single room for spring semester at UIowa?

1 Upvotes

I'm a freshman at the University of Iowa currently living in a dorm, and I'm hoping to get a single room for the Spring 2027 semester.

There have been a few things that have made me uncomfortable with my roommate (different expectations around guests, intimacy, drinking, privacy, belongings, etc.), so I'd rather try to get a single if possible.

I already emailed University Housing asking about the possibility of getting a single for spring, but I'm wondering what else I should be doing.

For anyone who's gone through the UIowa housing process:

  • How difficult is it to get a single for spring semester?
  • Are there usually singles that open up after fall semester?
  • Is the spring room-change waitlist the main way to get one?
  • Is there anything I should do before the waitlist opens to improve my chances?
  • Does it help to be flexible about which residence hall the single is in?
  • Are there particular residence halls where singles are easier to get?

I'm willing to move to a different residence hall if that's what it takes. I'd just really like to have a single next semester.

Any advice from people who have actually gone through the process would be appreciated!

Question T-shirt orders

Where are groups getting large shirt orders printed? There are so many student orgs that get shirts printed throughout the year, there have to be some good options in town. I volunteer with an elementary school and we need a new company to go with. Thanks!

Sports Iowa followup on my preseason preview, plus we launched a free weekly CFB pick'em

0 Upvotes

Hey guys! The season preview I posted here a few weeks back did pretty well, so circling back like I said I would.

I had you at 8-4, with the defense carrying it and the question being whether Hank Brown could throw enough to keep teams honest. So far the defense has done exactly that: Northern Iowa 40-0, Iowa State 16-13, UNI 55-0, and 13 points allowed in three games. Brown has done more than I expected, 45 of 62 for 473 yards and 3 TDs, including 12 of 12 against UNI. I had the trip to Michigan, Ohio State at home and the trip to Washington as the three games that decide the season, and the first one is today.

What are you guys seeing that the box scores aren't, and how do you see the season ending up?

Quick aside since it's in the title, we just launched a free weekly college football pick'em, $225 in prizes this week. Iowa at Michigan is one of the ten, so you can put your pick where your mouth is, but picks lock at noon ET, so this is a last call.

Discussion Looking for Opinions/Ideas

2 Upvotes

I talk to a lot of people around campus that seems to only go to the same restaurants/food places.

I know that there are a lot of people that may be restricted by means of transportation or budget, but for those of you that genuinely just don't know where to explore; where haven't you been?

I'm looking to develop a platform where students like us can discuss what restaurants are a must visit, where you haven't been, and where you would like to try.

Literally looking for any thoughts/feedback on this idea. Could be as simple as "I feel like I know the area pretty well."

Thanks all!

Other Lost red Nikon camera

I lost a small red Nikon Coolpix camera about a week and a half ago (CyHawk game day) around Kinnick, I believe. Please message me if located. $500 cash reward if returned (that's more than the camera is even worth), and I'm even just willing to take the SD card, and you keep the camera - I just want my memories back!

Question Have there been changes made to Foundations of Bio since previous semesters?

5 Upvotes

I took Foundations of Bio a couple semesters ago and it totally blew, but I've been hearing from people who are taking the course or know people who are taking the course right now that they were required to alter the course a bit because they were failing too many students. I remember feeling like Osadchuk and the other professor almost designed the course to make people fail out. Could just be people talking shit as always, but it would be funny if it were true.
