Boasting a proud tradition of academic and research excellence, the University of Northern Iowa is regularly named among the top universities in the Midwest; in fact, U.S. News & World Report ranked UNI #2 among the region’s public schools in 2017. Among the university’s top-rated fields of study, the accounting program commonly ranks among the top ten in the United States for first-time candidates passing the CPA Exam. In an effort to ensure that students receive a balanced education, UNI implements a Liberal Arts Core program, which provides all students with a well-rounded academic experience. On-campus facilities like the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center and the UNI Gallery of Art also serve as major components of the greater Cedar Falls cultural scene.
The UNI campus occupies a mostly residential section of Cedar Falls, largely surrounded by apartments, condos and houses; this makes it fairly easy to find rental options within walking distance of the university, no matter your budget. Just off campus, a popular strip of coffee shops, bookstores, restaurants, and neighborhood bars lines College Street between 22nd and 23rd Streets, providing some great hangouts for right after class. Downtown Cedar Falls lies just a few blocks to the northeast along the banks of the Cedar River, and features a wider selection of shopping, dining, and nightlife to ensure that you always have plenty to do on the weekends.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
