@Bigdoglover: When I used the term “urban” campus for UIowa, it was strictly relative to ISU’s campus, not a traditional urban campus like NYU, Drexel, etc.

To clarify, the UIowa campus was spotless. My comments regarding cleanliness were in reference to the Ped Mall only. I am sure it has a whole different feel when college starts. Also, I think our visit went well. D was impressed enough to submit her application. I suspect that part of D’s apprehension about the college is based, in large part, on her belief that she may not get accepted, a classic case of the “I didn’t want them anyway” defense mechanism. Something tells me is she is accepted, her view may change.

Good luck to you and your son on the move in and initial transition!
