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.

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.
