Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It is somewhat cheaper and way more convenient to live off campus. in addition you can bring and do what you want. there are only few single rooms in dorms, esppecially for students in their first semester at the uiowa.
