Can I still walk at graduation if I have 3sh left?

Hi, I'm graduating this year and I do not think I'll be able to fit my last 3sh (a gen ed class) into my schedule for this year but I don't want to do another semester because it doesn't seem worth it. Will I still be able to walk the stage and then just finish the one class over the summer? Or will I have to stay another semester?

What is going on with the pickleball courts?

Does anyone know why the pickleball courts by the rec center on Madison Street are never in use?

I park in the rec center lot for work and haven’t once seen anyone playing there. Not in the few late mornings I have come in, mid-day or in the afternoon/evening.

I am curious why the University went to the trouble if no one is using them?

Mayflower opinions?

I’m gonna be in college next year and have considered putting mayflower as my top choice because I really like having bigger rooms + having your own kitchen and bathroom as opposed to communal ones. Is the distance from campus really that bad? I’ve seen that it’s fine once you learn the bus routes but sometimes the times can be inaccurate. I’m also worried about the social setting- is it harder to make friends being more secluded from campus than other dorms?

Looking for help moving or otherwise organizing in the Iowa City/Coralville area? I’m your guy!

Hi! My name is Brady Willis, and I’m a UIowa senior offering my personal moving help in the Iowa City/Coralville area from now through the end of the year.

If you’re moving apartments, houses, dorms, storage units, etc., I can help with the physical work of loading and unloading Trucks, carrying furniture and boxes, organizing items, and generally helping make the move go more smoothly together.

I’ve previously worked with a moving company, so I have experience with the moving process and handling/loading household items safely. I’m not a moving company or someone who contracts a moving company on your behalf I’m offering my own time and labor to help you with your move.

If you need an extra set of hands, and someone with a positive fun attitude during the stress of moving, then please feel free to message me with the location, date, and what you need help with, and we can discuss availability and my rate.

Thanks!

Realistic chances for 2-year JD as an international student?

Hi everyone!

I'm currently preparing my application for a 2-Year Accelerated JD program, with Iowa Law as my main target, and I would love an honest reality check on my chances.
I am finishing a double degree in Law and Political Science in Spain with a cumulative average grade of 8 out of 10 (Grading in Spain is notoriously strict), roughly corresponds to a 3.5–3.7 US GPA equivalent in terms of academic standing. Beyond my grades, my background includes extensive international exposure, having spent a full academic exchange year in the US and another year in Germany.
Given this background, is an 8/10 Spanish average strong enough to be competitive for Iowa’s Accelerated JD?
Also, I am debating whether taking the LSAT is necessary to boost my application or if my foreign law degree and international background might be sufficient on their own.
Thanks!!!!

Moving In

Just wondering exactly how move in was like for non incoming freshmen. I know the website has a bunch of details, I’ve read it all. I’d just like to know exactly what the process will look like. Do they have move in bins for easy transport of everything? Is there a limit to how many cars you can have? I have a single on the first floor in slater, for reference.

Mayflower Hall captain requirement

Hey I’m an incoming freshman living at mayflower but we recieved an email saying we’re forced to have captain beds. Realistically does anyone know how short are they and is it possible to make them the same height as high captain with bed risers? Is there also any way to convince them to give us high captain beds?

I believe there is 4 over the course of 2 months and I would have to drive to and from Chicago. Finance major.

Looking for UI transfer students from community colleges or students that have taken community college classes!!

daum double w/ bath

heyy I was wondering if anyone has a good pic of what a daum double looks like with the bathroom in it! I've tried finding one everywhere but I couldnt. I looked at the layout on the uiowa website, and it doesnt look too much smaller than a normal double. but i've heard from other ppl that it makes the room a lot smaller and wasn't too sure. thanks!
