The University of Iowa is Iowa’s first and oldest university, founded in 1847. Regarded as a Public Ivy, UI is known for its balanced dedication to the arts, sciences, and humanities. One of the largest and most acclaimed medical centers in the country, the prestigious Iowa Writer’s Workshop, and over 200 different academic areas of study call UI home. Hawkeye pride runs deep, with sports teams competing in NCAA Division I as a part of the Big Ten Conference.
There are plenty of apartments and townhomes to choose from near the University of Iowa.
