  1. I'm also in psych and I live on the North Side (as do quite a few grad students), the neighborhood north of downtown and the psych buildings. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the campus and I don't own a car. I just walk to Seashore/Spence, but it does get cold so keep that in mind. It is a fairly short walk, though. As far as furnished places, you are definitely correct that most are unfurnished.
  2. Hi guys, I'm going into my second year of my PhD at Iowa. I don't have too much unique advice because I found my place from getting an email from people already in my program (Psychology), saying they were moving into a place and needed another roommate. However, one housing company I would try to avoid (they do own a ton of places here) is Apartments Downtown. I haven't heard good things, and they were just found liable for having illegal leases. http://www.dailyiowanmedia.com/live/2015/07/08/district-judge-rules-against-apartments-downtown/ I live on the North Side, which is a quieter area with fewer undergrads, and more grad students and families, which has been nice.
  3. I was at a sports bar with my dad, and I got an email just after 9 p.m. from my POI with an offer. It felt great after four rejections, and it was good to share the news with my dad right away. Then I called my mom and a couple friends.
  4. I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, headed to the University of Iowa.
  5. I plan on accepting my offer to Iowa for the Psychology Ph.D. program.
