University of Iowa

• Graduate School
• Iowa City, IA
• 14 reviews

Works Here: Beautiful campus and lovely small-city culture with tons of fun activities and things to do. Wonderful amenities for students and employees. Great fitness centers and programs. Awesome healthcare for employees and students. I have both gone to school and worked full-time at the University of Iowa, and it is truly one of the best places to attend/work in the Midwest. The Iowa City area is inclusive, diverse, and full of intelligent and friendly people. I honestly wouldn't live anywhere else in Iowa.

Graduate Student: The faculty at Drake School of Education is unparalleled. The facilities are state of the art. The campus is beautiful.
I got my master's degree at Drake and didn't even consider other schools for my PhD. I had such an amazing experience at Drake then and I am having an even better experience there now!

University of Northern Iowa

• Graduate School
• Cedar Falls, IA
• 8 reviews

Graduate Student: I feel very loved in my program, supported by the college, and I have a myriad of resources. My one complaint is not related to the graduate college itself, but rather UNI as a whole. The campus climate can be boring and disconnected. But as a busy graduate student, that doesn’t affect my studies or experience too much!

Purdue University Global - Davenport Campus

• Graduate School
• Davenport, IA
• 23 reviews

Graduate Student: Classes are set up for busy people trying to further their education but still have a full time career. Workload is heavy but not impossible. You must be very good at time management and self motived. I personally think that traditional classes are easier than online do to the fact you have a teacher to contact or see when needed. Not that you can’t contact your professors but email and calls just don’t quite get you the help you may need; sometimes having a professor and other students to interact with makes classes and projects easier.
Overall, I think Kaplan is amazing! Kaplan is the first online college and also used for LSAT, MCAT, GMAT and Step 1 and 2 for medical board exams.
KAPLAN has online study’s down to a science and I would recommend Kaplan only to anyone pursuing online schooling! I can’t wait to enroll in my next degree!

Iowa State University

• Graduate School
• Ames, IA
• 7 reviews

Graduate Student: Iowa State is the best of both worlds. Strong and challenging academics coupled with passionate and kind individuals. I think ISU is especially good at being a "well-rounded" institution. Interdisciplinary work is encouraged, and the community is very supportive. I've also had some excellent professors!

Palmer College of Chiropractic - Davenport

• Graduate School
• Davenport, IA
• 7 reviews

Graduate Student: It is the birth place of chiropractic and truly where the most proficient and well rounded chiropractors come from. Continuously it is mentioned that we have the best adjusting skills, diagnostic, radiologic, and case management skills. The school itself is ever evolving. They’re going through needed curriculum changes and always trying to lower tuition for students (it’s a non profit). They are updated campus to make student life better as well. Palmer is a well recognized brand and will always produce some of the best chiropractors in the game.

Des Moines University - Osteopathic Medical Center

• Graduate School
• Des Moines, IA

Maharishi University of Management

• Graduate School
• Fairfield, IA
• 2 reviews

Graduate Student: The entire student body and all faculty meditate twice a day and this creates a uniquely warm and peaceful atmosphere on campus. It's something intangible but very real, everyone comments on it. My parents noticed it when they were here. The cafeteria is organic, mom-GMO. Everything is geared toward healthy lifestyle and making the most of our mental and physical potential. MUM is not typical, it's far superior! The dorms are all single rooms, not shared, so there's privacy. (Uncommon) Faculty aren't paid much: they're here because they believe in MUM's mission of developing the whole person, through meditation (TM) and wholesome routine. I've loved my years here and feel uniquely qualified from this school to go out and succeed in any environment, because I'm using more of my mental and physical potential!

St. Ambrose University

• Graduate School
• Davenport, IA
• 11 reviews

Graduate Student: Going to St. Ambrose changed my life for the better. Going into an atmosphere away from home can be scary, but at St. Ambrose you are home. The campus itself is smaller so you know the majority of the people attending. The class sizes are smaller, which means you have more of a personal relationship with professors. All professors are there to help you succeed, and are willing to help in any way that they can. Everyone at this university wants you to excel, and will put forth the effort to see you do so. If I could change one thing about this school it would be the tuition lock. When I first visited they had told me my tuition would be locked at a certain amount, but as the years went on my tuition kept on rising. Overall this school is perfect in every aspect. If I had to choose again where to attend school I would choose St. Ambrose University.

Allen College

• Graduate School
• Waterloo, IA
• 2 reviews

Graduate Student: Allen College is known for their nursing programs, however I'm pursuing my Master's of science in Occupational Therapy there! They are a private college that provides a well rouonded rural education. My program is capped at 24 students each year and allows for 1-1 student teacher interaction daily. The college provides many opportunities for interprofessional relationships for others pursuing health science degrees. Additionally, Allen College creates professional students and provides many resources for success. I've loved my experience thus far, and my anticipated graduation is Dec. 2019!

Wartburg Theological Seminary

• Graduate School
• Dubuque, IA
• 1 review

Graduate Student: I have greatly enjoyed me experience at Wartburg Seminary. The professors care so much for your own development within community, which really stems from their central understanding that we are a worshipping community. They push us to go deeper, to question our unquestioned understandings, and to bring our understandings our from the biblical text instead of finding a text to support our own understandings.

Briar Cliff University

• Graduate School
• Sioux City, IA
• 1 review

Graduate Student: The physical therapy campus is very nice. However, the main campus is pretty small and outdated. I've enjoyed learning from the faculty very much. However, there have been some issues with faculty retention. The students have also noticed some problems with communication between faculty members and with the students. The program is fairly expensive, but you do get a fairly personal education from the professors who are mainly focused on clinical practice and imparting their knowledge to the students.
