Moving from Chicago to Iowa City was a tough choice. Chicago is my city. Chicago is home. But I committed to The University of Iowa for the following reasons in no particular order.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The University of Iowa is integrated into the Iowa City. Many rural\/suburban colleges I visited didn\u2019t have much to do outside of the college. Iowa City has a variety of things to do including a wide selection of restaurants and many events, such as parades. Within the first week of me being at Iowa there was a parade that was representative of my culture- the Iowa City Latino Festival.<\/li>\n
  2. Becoming healthier and more active has always been a goal of mine. At the University of Iowa you are given many tools and resources. Some of the resources that I have already made use of are the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center<\/a>, which has all the classes and amenities you could ever want. They have pools, weights, you name it, as well as making an appointment with a nutritionist through Student Wellness<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Being able to study with friends has always been something that has helped me be successful in school. When I learned that they had a Business Living Learning Community<\/a>, I knew I had to apply. The University of Iowa has 15 different living learning communities each with different themes ranging from major-related to identity related.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
