<p>I don’t go to Iowa, but I have friends who do (I go to a high school that usually sends about 30 kids to Iowa each year). I can’t answer anything about the honors program, so sorry about that.</p>
<p>I have friends who didn’t enroll/apply for housing until april, and are living on campus. So in December, I’m sure lots of housing is still available.</p>
<p>My friends who are freshmen this year have been in some pretty big classes, but I think that should be almost expected since it’s a big school. </p>
<p>Iowa City is pretty safe. It’s not a very big city, and I’ve never heard of any student being in an unsafe situation. I did a summer camp there, and I always felt safe, even when we were walking around the city at night. </p>
<p>As for other stuff, if you don’t know, Iowa is well-known for being a party school. My friends who like to party absolutely love the social scene (especially my friend who joined a fraternity). But I do have friends who don’t party as much or at all, and they still find plenty of friends and stuff to do.</p>
