Living in Iowa City

Living in the Iowa City area is great. It is affordable enough to purchase a home on a graduate student stipend. The small town atmosphere makes it easy to get around. There are always events to enjoy (the annual Jazz Festival is a personal favorite) and plenty of great places to eat. You don’t have to drive far to get out of town and enjoy the midwest.
