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).

Parking is raising rates on UIHC lots to 73 a month

If it’s a waste of my time and I could be doing better things with that time during on Iowa week is what I want to know.

i am an incoming freshman and am able to view my AP scores by running a degree audit and they should be on the first page. just wanted to let yall know! my sister cannot see hers so it may not be for everyone.

This is your time to be immature and disruptive. Make loud farting sounds during the lectures. Raise your hand and intentionally ask really stupid questions. Hide some speakers in the class and play shitty music. May as well make it fun

Is there a way to view my high school transcript through the MyUI Portal? They are supposed to be updated with 2026 AP Test Scores

I don’t care if you are conservative or liberal. There is separation between state schools and political agendas. It is wrong to require students who often come from working class families to pay to take a required MAGA class. I just stopped my donation when I found out and trust me they will notice!!

Another random question…

What are some ways/things I can do to help my chances of getting into a fraternity during the rush? Forgive me if i’m not using the right words, I’m still trying to learn more about that sort of world.

I’m a creative writing undergrad from the University of Guelph and I’ve been tasked with doing some research about creative writing pedagogy. I was hoping to hear about your experience in the uIowa creative writing program.

Specifically, why did you want to take the program? 
Which classes taught you the most or you got the most out of?
What did you wish you had in the program, but didn’t? 

I’m hoping to start a conversation about your experience in these programs to learn how students are impacted by them.
Thank you for your time! 😄

hi I’m trying to figure out layout options for my double in Slater. Anyone have any layouts to share or apps or any specs? my roommate and I want captain beds but trying to figure out the best layout so it’s as spacious as possible. there are limited pictures online and most cover the window which isn’t ideal for us.
