Personal comments
Iowa City is a laid back liberal town. If you get there in time for the outdoor jazz festivaland cinema nights do not miss them. The bar street,or streets! was a welcoming atmosphere for allstudents. There are lots of coffee houses to go during the day and the food is second to none in price and quality.
