Kelsey O Student at This School - Grad Year 2014
Freshman and Introduction classes are huge, most of my classes have 200+ students in them. This makes it really easy to skip classes so if your not motivated to wake up and come to class or have a tendency to zone out and not pay attention in class you might want to consider a smaller university or attending a community college for your gen eds.
Ryston Watts
Since i am a current high school senior I dont know much about the classes at the University of Iowa. My admissions consouler informed me that the lectures are about 100-200 in class sizes and the discussion groups contain only about 20 people
