There is bus service Monday - Saturday within Iowa City and nearby Coralville areas. The IIEP does not find housing for students. If you are planning to stay in a dormitory, you should send your housing application with the deposit as soon as possible to the Housing Office at the address on the application. The IIEP cannot guarantee a place on campus to any applicant. If you have applied for a residence hall room, contact the Housing Assignment Office, located in Burge Hall, at 335-3009 as soon as you arrive.
Many international students choose to live in off-campus rooms and apartments.
The IIEP strongly encourages you to take the form to your doctor and meet the requirements in your home country, where health services are generally less expensive than they are in the United States. The University currently requires all international students to have had two measles immunizations since 1980. A BCG vaccination should not be given prior to your departure. Vaccinations for hepatitis-B and meningitis are also highly recommended. You will be able to purchase books, school supplies and stationery at the Iowa Memorial Union Bookstore.
