<p>Yikes, beastman your post comes across scarey and have lost me within all of it.</p>
<p>First, I am happy to be at Iowa and excited to return to the school next year. My comments of the school have never turned from postive to negative it has always been positive and “progressive” comments. Have you not seen my recent post under college search or my recent post under this forum in general on how great it is that the school has seen a increase in endowment, comparable to other schools that have nearly twice the size student body? As a student at Iowa who have absolutely enjoyed my time here I can not help but figure out why the school is underrepresented on cc etc… Do you not find it interesting as myself that looking at the above link the University of Iowa was not listed among the schools once? If you are a alumni from the University of Iowa I think it would sprawl interest and not a view of negativity. Do I think the RAI attract away many high profile students, ofcourse I do but I do not think it attract away all because as a student at Iowa I think the student body is very competitive.
Eventhough I think Iowa is the best school in the Big Ten comparing it to the other schools it is the only one with a RAI system.</p>

I now feel even worst today as I was recently stressed out about my current course load ( 18 credits) but have decided to withdraw from one and take one or several math classes over the summer at a local community college or MSU. I also think one of my classes may be considered a elective.</p>
