I'm a student living off-campus and I have a few decent breaks between classes throughout the week. I am a huuge nap kinda person and need them to function. Are there any safe places to nap on or near campus? This includes quiet rooms not meant for napping but could be napped in

Hi! First time IOWA Hawkeye tailgating experience looking for some help from the experts. We bought a spot in Lot 3 (the library I believe). It says you can park 6 hours before the 3:15 game. Realistically--do people get there at 9a? Will there be spots left if we get there around noon? Wasn't sure if anyone had any experience with them overselling the lots.

Going to bring lots of water and cool snacks since it looks to be a hot one this weekend. Any other suggestions--I'll take them!! Thanks in advance! GO Hawks!

Does anyone have any information on Alex Bezahler? His teaching at my school now and I believe he used to teach here as well. I just wanted to know what he was like before I took a class with him because I can’t find him on rate my professor.

Heading into my senior year, any easy jobs where I can work remotely?

i want to submit a room change request and have some questions. if i get approved will they just match me with someone or will i get to “shop“ potential new roomies/rooms?

SEE YOU TONIGHT🫡

Hey All.

I'm a high school senior looking to attend UI for BME and Paramedic School. I've been looking at options for off-campus housing and was told about the Replay apartments on Riverside Dr. I've done some surface level research on the place and so far it seems pretty good, it's decently priced and has good amenities. But I'm still skeptical about it. Something about seems almost too good to be true to me. I'd like to hear from any UI students that live there to see if it's worth it and if it's actually as good as it seems.

So I got a job at the carver arena ticket office basically as a call center for support with ticket and athletic questions, along with helping people buy or bring tickets or upgrade them or whatever. The problem is they gave me 0 training and I’m basically useless, and it gives me really bad anxiety. We’re only a week in and I’m a freshman and I have no free time and I think I’d like to quit. Is it bad if I simply send an email over the weekend telling them I cannot continue with this job? All I do is constantly ask the managers for help and get yelled at on the phone by rude customers.

Anyone near slater near a loud bass bumping late at night/early in the morning? It doesn’t sound like music, but it’s loud enough to be annoying

I was wondering if there was a group for people wanting to get into working out with other University students here at the college. I’m a male sophomore interested in weight lifting, but when looking at the current organizations I only found bodybuilding. Was also curious if anyone was involved with the Tennis club and their experience with that. Played in high school, but definitely not good to be on a competitive team so was curious if there was a friendly competition group that met together.

How accurate is this?

How hard is it to get someone to take over your lease for Spring Semester? I am considering transferring after the semester is over, but I would need somebody to take over my lease. Is it difficult to find people to do that?

Hello

I’m new to Iowa and looking for a moving company that can help move some furniture and other items from a friend’s apartment to mine. Some of the items are heavy so I would need movers who can do the lifting and provide a truck as well.

Besides the library, where are some microwaves on campus?

Does anyone know of any LSAT study groups at the University or in the Iowa City area? I joined one last year but they never met up. Thanks!

Anyone selling football tickets? Will pay up to $700!

We’d love to sing with you this fall!

Hello,

As the title says, I’m looking for soundproof rooms that I can reserve in advance on campus. I know that the library has private rooms, but they’re not very soundproof.

I have to commute this semester, so I’m looking for a good spot for my online therapy. I could do it from my car, but I’d rather not.

hi all :)

i am an english (literature) major who was meant to be entering my senior year at my previous university, but unfortunately due to some very last-minute financial aid issues, i am having to transfer to uiowa.

i was born and raised in the area (~20 mins from ic) and am currently living with my parents, and will likely be commuting to campus when i am enrolled in the spring semester.

if possible, i would love to socialize a bit with current students this fall, especially any fellow english majors and queer students. i honestly feel pretty lonely at the moment and i really have no idea where to even start in terms of meeting people. i'm not really one for drinking or sports or big parties, and those are kind of the only immediate openings for socializing in the area that i'm aware of, lol.

are there any events or clubs/organizations that i should look into? anything i can do right now to familiarize myself with the social scene?

i know this is a bit of an odd ball post, but any pointers or advice for meeting people would be greatly appreciated!

Short version: the model has Iowa 25th. Last year was the most Iowa season imaginable, 1st in the country in yards per point while finishing 119th in total offense and 132nd in explosiveness, with a defense that was 8th in scoring. Gronowski is gone and Hank Brown, who threw 21 passes last year, projects as the starter, so a lot rides on South Dakota transfer L.J. Phillips Jr. and his 1,860 yards at 6.6 a carry.

The first page is free, so you'll hit the paywall after that. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

I'll be in the comments.

Is the on Iowa swag worth the time?
